Gonna decide between buying a new mac laptop or maybe some pc laptop since my friends keep nagging on me. But I don't know any good Windows based laptops that has good res, good performance and doesn't look like shit.
ME: Not needed for gaming and max budget is about 1800 USD
No need for any hate mac/pc arguments, just some solid advice and maybe a referall to laptops.
Si what do you want to use it for. I am biased towards Linux and windows FYI. If you spend money in a SSD and get a good computer your specs are better over all with Windows and it supports more common programs.
If you plan on doing video or music things Macs make it pretty easy plus a lot of people like the estetics of Macs.
Hardware
"Windows" has cheaper available parts that you can replace yourself easily and quickly and cheaply in general.
Apple: hardware is sometimes proprietary and has to have official hardware as of last year. A bit tougher to repair yourself. If someone else does it you're beat off getting Apple to repair it for you.
OS: (obvious stuff said for the sake of being said)
Windows: Microsoft software compatible with almost all programs for common and specialist use (like engineering programs). Often gets weighed down by programs preloading and requires a little bit of software upkeep.
Apple: UNIX distro with packages from Apple. Looks and feels nice but expensive for what you're getting.
Honestly it boils down to what you want to do with it and what you're willing to spend.
Windows is better for your money ifbyoure willing to spend 1200 but then again I've never heard normal computer users miss a Windows computer.

If you're looking at Windows you may want to look at the thinkpad x1 yoga. Hope that helps

Just get a refurbished rMBP 13" with 512GB/16GB. I've had mine for 6 months now and it runs great with a nice display and battery. The track pad is insane too. Windblows also runs great on it if you need to use it.

X1 Carbon or Surface Pro.
Also note that if you don't actually like OS X you can always install windows and get a very capable machine (on par with the PC flagships).
mac: homosexuality and degeneracy
pc: productivity and games
The choice is very simple.
Cost for specs value: Windows>Mac Mac is super expensive.
Usability:Windows=?=Mac (really depends on what you need it for, some need software on Windows, others can get by on Mac OSX/Linux)
Software:Windows=?=Mac, once again, this one is opinion based. I prefer Mac OSX Due to Unix environment, terminal, and it's just a lot lighter/more fluid.
Personally, I dislike Windows with a passion now, since 8 released, but I'm in the minority.

Isn't apple's CEO a homo?
Dell XPS 13 has options for a 4k touch screen. Comparable price to a macbook though.
What kinda specs do you want? What size? Asus has good price/performance, shit trackpad drivers tho.

>Cost for specs value: Windows>Mac Mac is super expensive.
Don't forget to factor build quality and some elements. PC laptops with high rez displays and good trackpad tend to be in mac-like price territory.

But the build quality looks promising.
>>53321451
I'm >>53321374
I agree completely, I believe apple's build quality is far above what you'd find on a cheap windows PC, and you would need to spend apple prices for equal build quality, but I figured that it would be an opinion some would disagree with.

Daily reminder that Apple's CEO is a raging homosexual. If you buy apple products you are supporting homosexuality.

Daily reminder that if you purchase a product based on any merit other than it being the best choice you're a bumbling fucking moron
>>53321844
This. I lit my ipod touch on fire when I learned a homo was running the company.
>>53321877
Why in God's name would you ever support a company that is run by a homosexual? Owning an apple product will literally brand you as a supporters of homosexuality. Do you also support terrorists?

That's a hell of a lot of edge for one post
>>53321920
I don't give a shit who makes it, don't hold anything against homosexuality, and I don't care what people think of me for using x or y, it's not my fault they're so shallow; I use what I prefer.
>Do you also support terrorists?
If they made my product of choice you're damned right I would.

enjoy being put on a list
>>53321961
>implying we're not both on a list
>>53321940
No I actually lit it on fire. Homosexuality is a sin and I won't support companies led by these filthy human trash.
>>53322017
Oooh someone's a tough guy
I would get a mac but I really don't like the stigma of being labeled a homo.
>>53322066
It's only a /g/ thing, nobody who leaves the basement cares.
>>53322066
Literally no one in the real world cares at all, only autist elitist do.
>>53322066
this. I actually loss my job once since my boss saw my macbook and thought I was gay. i've been a pc guy ever since then.
>>53322066
Literally everyone and their mother owns one. If anything it just shows that you are a clueless normie.

Track pad on new Asus laptops are actually solid now.
Are macs as brittle as iphones?
