Hello guys ,
i'm up for buy a new laptop. I have to buy this note for web design and coding.
I'll use Adobe suite mainly(Photoshop, firework, dreamweaver) and i need an help.
i'll use this notebook for light gaming too. I love mmorpg then not heavy game. I'll use two external monitor (already have) via display port or mini dp and i'm stucked with the decision.

Macbook Pro 15" vs Clevo 15"(for example Vortex IV from pcspecialist or similar)

Macbook pro is macbook pro, very stunning design, portability, power and macosx
Clevo are very fat and heavy but double power, upgradable and more refines to gaming

price is nearly the same

2250€ for mbp with educational discount
2120€ clevo maxed (i7 4800 780m 16gb)

i'd eveluated macbook pro non retina and a medium range clevo but in this case i can't plug two external monitor through digital signal (1 thunderbolt for mbp and only vga/hdmi for clevo)
nVidia 780m, actualy, is a little bit oversize for me 770m maybe is my best bang for bucks but is useless to have a 4kg notebook for a 770m :p
I'm living in italy but i can buy from Amazon uk, pcspecialist and other stores that ship in italy :)
Anyone have some advice to give me?

Thank you

p.s. i need a UK keyboard not an italian one :)

this is a simple question of what you need. if you need portability, get the mbp, it's much easier to carry.

if you need absolute power and some mobility, just get the Clevo, it is significantly more powerful than the MBP as you stated, and will give you better performance on just about everything. however you can expect much worse battery life and portability
