Hello!
Recently got opportunity to move to another country for working. And I have started to think that I would like to upgrade my laptop (from MacBook Pro Late 2012).
But came to the issue, that there are too many choices. And I would like to get your opinions on this matter.
Mainly my task are:
- Daily browsing: Netflix, youtube, reddit and etc.
- Light gaming: OSRS, WoW Classic (when it will be released), Path Of Exile.
- Programming: web development, apps. (Python, Java, JavaScript)
Since I'll not play high-end games, I don't think there is a need of having good GPU.
My budget - 1000-1500 euro. (it can adjust, if I get good deal).
And I came to these options:
- Lenovo Legion Y530 (with GTX 1050Ti )
- Lenovo Legion Y730 (with GTX 1050Ti / i7-8750H )
- Acer Nitro 5 (with GTX 1660Ti / i5-9300H)
- Macbook Pro 13 (2019, 16GB Ram and Quad-core i5)
The macbook is in the list, because I'm used to MacOS environment and I like it. And I can order a shipment from USA, which lets me to buy cheaper MBP than in my country - Lithuania.
But afraid of the butterfly keyboard, since I haven't used that.
I have rejected - ThinkPad, since I'm using at work; and Dell XPS, because price starting from 2000 euro.
