Compared To Other Laptops The Apple MacBook Air 13 M4 is one of the best ultraportable laptops on the market. Its build quality, as well as the quality of its touchpad and speakers, is class-leading. Apple's M4 SoC has among the fastest single-thread performance compared to other current-gen chips, and while its multi-thread performance doesn't stand out as much, it's nonetheless very impressive considering the lack of active cooling.

Compared To Other VPNs Private Internet Access has acceptable performance that's on par with most VPN services, but like most, it fails the kill switch test. It's good enough if you're just downloading torrents and browsing the web while protected, but its speeds are mediocre, so don't expect blazing-fast downloads. It's also owned by Kape Technologies, which privacy-minded users tend to criticize due to controversies about ad injection from its past.

Mullvad is great for torrenting. It has acceptable security that mostly keeps your IP address and DNS queries within its tunnel, and it's properly configured to protect you from man-in-the-middle attacks. Its kill switch doesn't work properly upon rebooting your system, as some unencrypted traffic leaks past the VPN. You can register without providing personal information like an email address or even a password.

Compared To Other VPNs MEGA VPN delivers broadly comparable performance to most VPNs we've tested but has some significant shortcomings that make it compare less favorably. Firstly, it's pretty barebonesโ€”it lacks many commonplace features like obfuscation, which hides the fact that you're connecting with a VPN and is useful for getting around censorship and services that block VPNs. It also doesn't support OpenVPN, which can be a downside if the protocol's configurability is important to you.
