HP envy 13.3 vs Apple MacBook 13.3

Apr 5, 2016 4:01PM PDT

Hi I have to chose between HP Envy 13 and Apple
MacBook Pro 13. I use a lot of data based platforms such as Stata / R and excel. All specs of Envy matches MacBook. i5 / 256 SSD .. Is there a reason that MacBook Pro is still a better machine (let's forget about looks for a moment) considering there's a price difference of 200 GBP I'm getting between the two.

It's built into the price of both, but which do you trust will actually provide the best support, and is it worth more?
