Ok guys, I need your Mac wisdom.
I'm looking into buying the low end 13 inch Macbook Pro for pharmacy school in the fall and I need a push in the right direction. I keep thinking I want a MPB but at the same time I am your typical PC gamer that can't help but to stare at the specs of a computer.
I'm thinking I can get an HP notebook with the same processor and memory, but a 1gb video card for around $850, or for a price similar to the low end 13 MBP I can get an i7 and 8gb of ram and the 1gb video card. All in a 14 inch HP notebook, btw, so the portability is still there.
I already have a pretty powerful desktop with two 23 inch monitors so I can do pretty much anything on that.
But, I guess my question is what are the benefits of spending more money on the MPB. I'll be in school from 8-5 pretty much every day, taking notes, using office, watching youtube videos, and on a side note I am an extreme multitasker.
Is the OS that much better than windows?
So I need some guidance.
