Dragonslay
The second tier 13 inch or the first tier 15 inch.
I'm going to be taking it to school almost every single day. I will be watching videos, using internet, writing essays, etc, as well as video/photo processing, editing, creating projects, coding/programming etc.
-OR-
Should I just wait for the new 2012 MacBook Pro?
Answer
Here is all the details about MacBook Pro.
Their prices are a rape of their customers and for programming and coding they're based on systems only compatible to Apple where most of the world has Windows systems and whatever projects you do will need conversion. The have really low end CPU and graphics chips for the price. I have to assume that either your parents are loaded and don't give a darn or know anything about computers or that you have money to burn. You might as well wait to see what Apple does with their next generation and if you were smart you won't buy them either. You can buy good video editing software for a Windows PC and have money left over.
Here is where you decode the secret CPUs they use and where to compare CPU+Graphics chips:

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php
On the 13" it is only Intel HD graphics like any $500 laptop and the 15" base model is only HD 6750M and it costs $200 to raise it to 8GB unless you do it yourself by selling the 2GB cards they use and putting in 2x4GB for about $65.
They have decent batteries, but ignore the "up to hours" as meaningless on all laptops.
As an example of a good laptop,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152339
MSI G Series GE600NC-006US Intel Core i7 3610QM(2.30GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory 750GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M for $1110
Picture isn't available yet but it is black and red like may MSI
The Ivy Bridge i7 3610QM has passmark score 8079. Top end option MacPro is 2.5 GHz (2860QM) 8002. The HDD in the MSI is a $150 option at Apple. 6GB RAM instead of 4GB in the Apples. The new GT 650M http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-650M.71887.0.html
is an upgrade from GTX 560M so graphics chip scores over 1265 points where the Apple 15" base is only HD 6750M 1131 points so to beat the MSI need the high end Mac on graphics and it is only slightly higher with HD 6770M. The MSI has HDMI and USB 3.0 instead of a useless Thunderbolt port and a dongle from Apple. The MSI is a 1920 x 1080 screen and weighs 5.28 lbs. The Mac only goes as option to 1680-by-1050 for another $100 as a lower res. It weighs 5.6 pounds. Wireless is better on the MSI. MSI shows 4 speakers. Only minus on the MSI is that it is thicker and battery life is shorter but not by much with both running on Intel graphics which is the new Intel HD 4000 on the MSI vs HD 3000 on the Apple.
Have to be nuts to get the inferior Apple for over $700 premium in price.
Now, you can all thumbs down me and pick some other dupe for Best Answer that likes to pay double price on an Apple. I only showed 1 good system. There are plenty more.
Will add that MSI is a designer and manufacturer. Apple is a reseller of whatever contract manufacturer is doing the hardware. Their iPhones are Foxconn, but not sure who does the MacBooks for them.
Add: For $2834 you can option up a MacPro 15 slightly better than the MSI being thinner with a better battery and an extra 2GB RAM, but not quite as good a diplay and a dongle for HDMI and no USB 3.0 ports, but it is a hair better. at $1724 more money.

Should I Get: Macbook Air 11" 2012 OR HP Envy x2?
Kt Smurfy
Ok, so. I am not too concerned about price as I have a job which is uite well earning for my age. I am looking for a reliable, fairly heavy duty PC (mainly for use during my GSCEs, A Levels and starter college or Uni years) in which I can browse, create a word document, watch videos/stream music and edit photos at the same time. So basically I am looking for a good processor and a NOT SLUGGISH browser.
Would appreciate some friendly advice, preferably from someone who knows the two laptops or is fairly well informed on computing!
Thanks ;)
