Hello to all,
I am looking for a good, dependable office laptop. No gaming, I need it only for emailing, internet browsing, watching films and office work, occasional editting (nothing fancy) etc. I want it to be as quick as possible, silent, with SSD (256GB+), with solid long-lasting battery (6-12 hours) and 8gbs of RAM.
My only experience with laptops (got plenty with PC experience so I kind of know my way around hardware wise) is my trusty HP laptop that has been going strong for about 4 years but the battery never lasts more than 2 hours.
I have never had an Apple product with the exception of my iPad Mini so I am not familiar with the OS but I hear its very intuitive and the interface is very fast.
The budget is somewhere between $1000-1500.
At the moment I am leaning towards Macbook Pro as it looks like the best choice with the overall longevity.
Any help and experience would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
P.S. I should mention that I might be going to China somewhere in the upcoming months. I heard that there are some problems with Apple compatibility. Any thoughts?
