Intel Core i7-4600U Processor( 2.10GHz 1600MHz 4MB)
8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3L 1600 MHz
Intel HD 4400
Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
SSD 256GB

or

Macbook Pro 13 with:
2.8GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
256GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
Intel Iris 5100

Which machine would you pick?

I don't think I really need a graphic card for browsing/sshing into machines. Battery life has higher priority in this case.
