What should I buy?

[LouigiXIV]

Hello guys,

I'm looking for a new laptop to buy, but not finding one... Maybe you could give me some advice?

1) Purpose of laptop : I'll mostly use the to browse the web, watch youtube, spotify. Next to that I want it to be able to do some leightweight, casual gaming, nothing fancy like BF4.

2) Requirements : Good build quality, more-than-FHD-display, 15-inch max

3) Max price tag : €1600/€1650

I'm not afraid of a macbook pro, the stunning build quality and beautiful display of it are amazing! Also the surfacebook looks appealing. I'm not into the €2200 pricetag of the razor blade.

 

So, I think I clearly explained what I want!

What do you guys think of me buying a mbp or a surfacebook (with dedicated GPU).

And do you have any other suggestions?

@I am an SSD The potato laptop (lol) is way to weak and it probably has a bad looking display... The alienware could be an option buttttt I'm looking for a Razor Blade-kind of laptop but cheaper!

The razor blade has everything, an amazing GPU (for a laptop) , beautiful display and excellent build quality. I'm willing to pay in for the GPU, but display and build quality are key for me!

A Mac is fine for your needs, but if you ever want to play games on it, you'll have to use bootcamp and get windows 10 on the Mac , makes a lot of difference. Mac  gives you a refined user experience and if you are not someone who tinkers around with their PC then this is for you. 

In terms of build quality this is the best. I would not recommend the surface Pro in this case.

 

However bear in mind that there are pretty good quality laptops for half the price, might skimp a little on the display, but will give you more raw performance for eg. gaming.

At the price of a mbp there are definatly laptops with more raw power. Any suggestions?

I would go windows if you are doing any gaming. The surface book is a good option though if you want more power an XPS 15 offers a quadcore and a 960m for a similar price as a surface book with a dedicated gpu.
