About to hit the trigger on a MacBook Pro 15.4", the least-expensive version via a reseller. Seems to be good bang for buck, ASUS/Dell aren't much cheaper at this performance/quality point (if at all - 15" ZenBook or XPS 15 all trade in quality for a lower price).
Am I about to make a mistake?

Well yeah, thanks but I'm not going to benchmark this thing 24/7 nor am I going to compile Gentoo on it.

HAHHAHAHA he fell for the macbook meme and actually going to buy the cheapest version like a poorfag.

Then you could get the same performance out of any $300 craptop if you don't do anything demanding.
>>55430666
Not if you want good performance, yet only need it sporadic. "Craptops" aren't going to deliver proper screens and storage either.
>>55430661
It's always black-and-white with you faggots isn't it. It's not the cheapest version - that's the 13 inch version. The 15 inch version actually has a proper quad-core processor instead of a low-voltage 'tard CPU.

Well you got one thing right.

Calm the fuck down you autistic subhuman.
This is supposed to be a technology board with experts on computing but all I see are inane comments.

Many Chromebooks comes with 1080p IPS screens. Storage isn't good though.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
HE THINKS
HOLD UP
HE ACTUALLY BELIEVES
THERE ARE "EXPERTS IN COMPUTING" HERE, ON /G
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
just retarded man babies and pajeets shilling for shekels. there's nothing here besides consumerists and the retards who make retarded posts (much like OPs) to try and advertise their shit products.
>>55430333
If you're going to get one I don't know why you would settle for the current MacBook Pro - a new one is soon to release. Likely this Fall.
>>55430333
> Askng /g/ for advice.
> 2016
B&H has that model on sale for $1799 OP -- you looking at the same price, or better?
New lineup of macbooks and macbook pro retina laptops leaked by macrumors!
Don't be retarded OP, wait for the new ones.
Considering the current iteration of the Macbook is over a year old now, it would be a horrible mistake to buy one now unless you're getting a REALLY good deal on one.
Maybe when the next refresh happens, it'll be a good buy, however; at this moment the Dell XPS 15 inch is a far better buy.

>over a year old now
You mean almost 3 years old now.
>>55430333
Wont regret it, OP
>>55430333
>least-expensive version
please don't do that to yourself.
256 gig ssd, and a haswell cpu is not good in 2016.
wait for the 2016 model, it's going to be a HUGE upgrade over the current one (especially if you get a dgpu like >>55430493 pointed out)
