[QUOTE="TSQUARE, post: 3302268, member: 28"] I feel your pain. About 3 months ago I started looking for a new laptop. Long story short, last Friday I got the new MacBook Pro 16. Every single windows computer I bought had varying issues. Here are just a few that i tried, hp x360, msi, Dell XP’s 15, razer blade stealth 13 and blade 15, Dell Inspiron, 13” surface laptop 3 and surface pro 7. The 2 dells had horrible blue screen, the ho just sucked all the way around, the razer each had bad light bleed, and the msi had an enormous fan sound. The surface pro 7 had sluggish and hang up on os, power management issues. The surface laptop 3 was the best out of all of them, and it still had the freezing and hang ups. I need a fairly powerful machine for my work. I got the i9-16-1tb MacBook Pro 16. It hurt paying that much, almost $700-$1200 more than some of the ones I tried. But I recently was with someone that had a 5 year old MacBook Pro. They opened the lid and it came right on, os ready to go. It ran amazingly fast for a 5 year old computer. I asked when the last time the reset it to factory was, and to my amazement they said they never had. Yes, they cost a lot more, but you truly get what you pay for in terms of longevity. $49 parallels and a $50 license of windows pro and I have windows when I need it. So far I am super impressed. The learning curve is there, but it’s just learning a different way of getting the same thing. You can also go with a little less power spec wise than a windows machine if you are doing straight Mac OS apps and software. Apple manages memory and storage a lot better than windows. Hope you get it figured out. Hollar if I can help in any way. Also, you can go to the education web version of Mac website and generally get $200 off a new Mac.
