In one years time, I will be going to college and moving into a dorm away from my PC. Because of this, I will need a semi-light laptop that I can carry around campus and take back to my dorm so I can study or game. My dad (who is paying for the laptop) wants to buy me a $2000 mac book pro but I dislike mac OS and want a gaming laptop. I'm torn on which to choose, as I know the mac book has amazing build quality and can last me my whole college career, but I can't game on it and with that money, I believe I can buy something of equal quality and longevity. I'm not totally opposed to getting a mac but do you guys have any suggestions on laptops with equal or even greater quality than a mac book that I can game on?
Some notes:
-I'm going to be running programs like autodesk, solid edge, after effects, and photoshop
-budget around $2000
Laptops I'm looking at:
-Acer triton 500
-GS65 STEALTH-296
-HP OMEN 15-dc1052nr
P.S.- Try to provide reasons on why the laptop is good so I have some selling points against apple
