I have been browsing the past couple of days to decide on some computer purchase.
The decision comes between either
A. Buying a macbook pro
B. Building a desktop for gaming + decent laptop for school (with the amount of money I'd spend on a macbook
C. Buying an Ultrabook that is equivalent in price and specs as the macbook
Here are some primary usage of mine:
Web browsing, Watching Anime (HD is a must), Gaming (SC2 HOTS), and school.
I want the specs to be at least above
3rd gen i5 or i7
Discrete graphics card that will run Hots on High settings
SSD preferred, but 7200 rpm HD is ok
1080p resolution
In the case of laptop: 6+ hours of battery life
budget: preferably under $1500, but it depends on whether more money would be wroth it in the long run
I know I have to spend at least $2k to get a macbook with GT650M, so my question is if the macbook pro would be worth it?
I really like the aluminum unibody and other features it comes with, but 2k is just asking for too much.
With that money i was thinking I could build a rig and buy a decent ultrabook for school.
I'm currently using Samsung qx410-S02 with 1st gen i5 and Gtx410M (runs Starcraft on low-medium settings with 30FPS)
I've used it for over three years and it is just lacking the juice for the gaming and the features are outdated IMO.
Sorry that the information is a bit jumbled and disorganized.
let me know if you need more info.
Thanks.
