apologies if this is a repost, i searchbared and didn't find exactly what i was looking for. so here goes:
i have a friend who is going to america in a few days time (i'm from the UK) and i was considering giving him the cash to purchase me a macbook pro while he's over there. money is a bit of a constraint, so i'm only looking at buying the 13" model. doing this would give me a saving of £200 (due to exchange rates etc.)
my other option is to buy an ultrabook. i have been looking at ACER and ASUS models which have pretty similar specs to the macbook and are more within my price range (£600-£700).
the only other information i feel is relevant is that i have never owned an apple computer, where as i have owned plenty of laptops and PCs in my time and quite frankly i am getting fucking sick of windows. problem is the macbook is the more expensive option, and i am basically trying to decide if it is worth an extra £100-£200 than an ultrabook with similar specs.
i would be using whichever one i buy for general university work, video editing, photoshopping, web design, and music making.
so NS what is your advice?
