The HP spectre x360 is a superb laptop.

The spectre pro's a good laptops, about the only HP laptops I have found that are not junk.

 

If you want a good laptop or computer that is built like the macs then the Surface line is the best to go with, I currently have a pro 4 and not had one problem with it at all.

Yep the Microsoft surface and Dell XPS series ultrabooks. THey have photograde IPS screens and metal cases

Did not include the XPS line as he asked for looks and I do not think the XPS stuff looks as good as say the surface or like a macbook design wise

After you spend 3 hours uninstalling the phone home crap they install on it.

Asus Zenbook and Sony Vaio laptops(available in limited countries).

 

Also HP has some high end laptops.

 

If possible, always reset windows on new laptops to get rid of all the bloatware.

hi again,

many years passed (9 years !) since my last post in this thread.

and I want to buy a new Pc again, so the same question goes again: what are the PCs of premium quality like Mac available these days?

Thanks to all (old repliers, and future ones of course)

Of course, silly me. That must also be why laptops are also mentioned ;) 

He didn't mention a laptop in his opening post, nor the refresher post

I don't think I missed something, but what's with the laptop recommendations, I was under the impression the OP was looking towards replacing their desktop...?

K. Make sure you police every other user discussing laptops then.

 

Thanks!

I could say the same with some of your responses

Please stop the back and forth.  Make recommendations (be it notebook or desktop)...

 

Obviously a budget would be helpful... to make any meaningful recommendation.  That should be a rule...haha.

 

Not sure where the OP went anyway.

Ok, done. :)

 

To get back towards the topic, I personally find it easier to answer specifically within the context of the opening question.

 

Even I could have thrown in a suggestion for Eurocom Laptops, had the OP asked, I didn't as I differentiate between PC and .book, or hybrid, and so on

If you get them MS Signature style, you avoid 99% of bloat.

There are only two brands that meets the criteria of quality build and great design of a Mac if a laptop PC is concerned. Those are the MS Surface Book series. And the Dell XPS series.

 

Personally I would get one of those if I ever were to switch to a laptop with Windows installed as the primary OS.

Glad you crossed out only, because that would make your statement false. ASUS and HP both make comparable models as well.

I'm glad too. Don't get me wrong. I forgot about HP Spectre etc. models.

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).
