Apple is it's own world. If you need an Apple you know why. At the office we have some developers working on iOS apps and you need the Apple and the cost increase is worth it due to better app income.
But if you are into Windows, Linux and other, you can choose a lot of the other models. The BIG MISTAKE I see a few fall for is the UHD 4K display on laptops. It's great for display and such but outside of the 1080 powered laptops you have to run the game at 1080p to get reasonable performance.
So I like the models you noted along with the Asus ROG lineup.
Hello Forum
I'm looking for the best laptop for my work. I edit some pictures, so a great quality screen is a must. It does not have to be PERFECT, but it should be good. In addition, it should be able to perform image editing as well as light gaming as a little Battlefield 1 a few hours a month.
I can see that there are many different options like the Dell XPS 15, i7 7700hq and 1050 GeForce, as well as the Apple 15 "Retina, in addition, there are also some gamer laptops with 1070 graphics cards at the same price. How can it be?
What do you think?
