Hi all,
I'm currently using 2014 MBPro 15" (512GB, 16GB, i7) and previously 2009 MBPro 13" and would like to get a new laptop for 2d and 3d work. Recent Apple products have seemed to be slightly disappointing (keyboard, price and quality wise) and I would like to know which PC laptops I should look at as alternatives. Planned use would be at least 3-4 years but probably around 5.
Alternatively I guess I could just build a desktop PC and combine it with a less performant laptop?
Wishlist:
- 13" or 15" screen, matching MBPro screen quality (full sRGB at least, matte or glossy does not matter)
- matching or better build quality than MBPro (are there problems with carbon fiber in prolonged use?)
- 16/32GB RAM, i7 or i9 CPU, GPU good(ish) enough for 3d work (matching Vega 20 in MBPro)
- similar battery life to MBPro
Bonus:
- Wacom digitizer screen, are there any with that? Then it could double as Cintiq!
Thanks!
