New laptop

[Vy]

You asked for an example. Here it is this laptop is better, almost same price, even cheaper. Better features. And way better for occasional gaming. More diskspace, better gpu, bigger screen (15,6" and FHD 1920x1080). You get the picture. As I said way overpriced MacBook for what you get.

I can post more examples if you want?

I don't really want a bigger screen though. I got the 13" because I wanted a small laptop.

 

There is no way I could get it fixed here if it broke. (I would have to ship it to the US and back)

 

The build quality is worse. (look at some of the reviews with the verified purchases)

 

Screen is worse.

 

Touchpad is worse. Which is incredibly important to me, because I don't want to use a mouse if I can help it.

 

Other than that, I didn't really look into it. Like I said, I don't want a gaming laptop, because guess what, I don't game anymore. I've spent maybe 10 hours playing cs:go in the last 3-4 months. It will do well enough for what I want it to do and I am pretty sure it's going to last quite a long time.

 

Apple computers also retain quite a bit of their value so I will be able to sell it for at least ~500 eur when I am done with it. I hardly ever scratch anything and I take great care of my devices.

 

"Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S."

 

On amazon.co.uk it costs 800 pounds, which is 1015 eur. The MBP costs 860 pounds, which is 1089 eur. Not such an amazing difference really. And remember that I bought it for 780 euros.
