Hi everyone!
I'm in the market for a new laptop and was hoping I could get some thoughts from this great community. Any suggestions would be welcome!
Here's what I'm looking for:
needs:
Fast cpu (for running simulations)
16GB RAM (simulations...)
Good screen at least 1080p
Great keyboard
want:
From a Canadian source
Solid build quality to last 3+ years
SSD of 256GB+
Screen at "retina" level
Not huge
Wouldn't mind ability for casual gaming (Mass Effect level) but this isn't big as I have a desktop for that.
15" ideal, but 17" possible
My budget is $1500-$2200. I'm thinking it's between a Macbook Pro 15 Retina, a Dell XPS 15, or a Lenovo Y50 Ultra HD, but I'm leaning towards the Lenovo as it hits all the marks for cheaper but with worse battery, which I care less about. I'm more familiar with Windows, but am willing to switch if it's good.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!
