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.

Seahorsepip Veteran Posted May 20, 2017 Veteran Share Posted May 20, 2017 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. adrynalyne and The Evil Overlord 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisifer Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Simple answer is look at price tag of a Mac and spend that on a PC. Or buy components and then waste the rest on a fancy case or two. The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted May 20, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2017 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.

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 +Raze 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allannyholm Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) 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. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you crossed out only, because that would make your statement false. ASUS and HP both make comparable models as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
