Hey guys, i love the macbook pro 2018 becouse it does not get hot (with my current work softwares), it does not make any noise at all and it is portable and thin.

The thing is i really like windows and i need it for my new work so i am looking for a macbook pro 2018 windows alternative. The key features are does not get hot like the macbook and minimim noise like the macbook. Can you guys help me find this laptop please, i am sure it exists and if it has a touch screen much better!

 

thank you in advance!

You can actually install windows on your mac. Have you thought about just using your existing macbook with windows 10? You can either entirely erase macOS and make it a windows machine, or dual boot macOS and windows.

Very simple process too but if you don’t need a Mac at all then return your MBP (if you can) maybe pick up a Microsoft surface?

As a PC repair guy, the surface tablets are even worse to service than a macbook. By a long shot.

 

I never thought I'd say this, but... Stick with the mac

I thought that will be stupid buy a macbook pro just to install windows, maybe it will not work at full potential. But I am ignorant in that aspect.

If you're buying in Chile, could you provide me a few links of online stores?

Budget in your country's currency?

Is high refresh rate display a must? Or 60Hz is fine?

Is touchscreen a must?

What you're going to do with the laptop?

HRR isn't a must 60 is just fine

Touchscreen isn't a must

Thin and light with powerful GTX GPU tend to have mediocre thermals

 

Can consider these with 25W MX150, no need to spend so much:

Asus UX461UN

Asus UX430UN - cooling cannot handle 25W MX150, must undervolt and slight underclock

Dell Inspiron 7472 - short battery life
