Basically I’m looking for a powerful yet portable productivity machine that can handle all productivity tasks and then some, is good for content consumption and is also able to handle some amount of music production. I was waiting until today for the new macbook air to be unveiled, now that it has been unveiled and it’s running the dual core Y series processor I don’t think it’s worth paying the apple tax for it (or would it not make that big a difference?). I think the 8th gen i5 U series processor is the best for my use. I’d want the device to have at least have 8 gb ram, at least a 256 gb SSD. I’d want at least one thunderbolt 3 port that supports 4 lanes of PCIe (charging over usb C would be a bonus). I’d want the device to have good build quality and I would want it to be made out of metal or even carbon fiber. Not a fan of plastic devices. I’d want a good trackpad and a finger print reader would be very convenient. The devices that i have shortlisted are the Dell XPS 13 (both 9370 and 9360), ASUS zenbook 13, LG gram and the XPS 15 i5 (which is not available in India so will only go for it if it is that much better than the other and have also heard that it has latency issues which are a problem for making music).
Would really appreciate if someone is able to help me choose or provide alternatives that might be better for what i want. Thanks in advance
