| Windows alternative to MacBook Pro 13 inch 2020 M1 Posted: 05 Dec 2021 08:06 PM PST I'm currently using the above MacBook model and … I just do not vibe with the Mac way of doing things. Are there any comparable 13 inch windows laptops you would recommend that are: - pretty/aesthetically pleasing
- mostly quiet
- at least 16 gb ram
- will mostly be used for document editing, analysing data in R (nothing huge), Photoshop, light games

| Need a College/Everyday laptop on a budget, <400 USD, buying from America. Thanks Posted: 05 Dec 2021 06:53 PM PST - Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
less than 400 USD, buying from the US. - Are you open to refurbs/used?
yes, but I haven't had great experiences with refurbished computers. - How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
performance first, then build quality for sure. Battery, then form factor (I don't care if its 2-in-1 or touchscreen) - How important is weight and thinness to you?
I prefer a middle ground. Don't want a brick, of course, but I don't want something so thin it feels like a chip (macbook air). I will likely carry the laptop in a backpack, so it doesn't need to be super light, but again, not a brick - Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
Somewhere between 15 and 17 in, give or take. not too picky, but preferable bigger than a typical chromebook screen. - Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I will likely be running CAD, and any other software needed for an Electrical Engineering degree. Also, sometimes Ableton Live, for music production. and occasionally, casual gaming (minecraft mostly) - If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
minecraft (crossplay with my nephew's ps4 if that matters). just vanilla minecraft bedrock, basic settings. - Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
i would prefer a good build quality first and foremost (metal, preferably). I don't require touchscreen, but its a plus. I would like a disc drive, and several usb ports (also an sd slot wouldnt hurt). I don't really care about having a fingerprint reader. - Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
this laptop will be replacing my dying Dell Inspiron 15. I would prefer at least 100 gb of storage. I don't know much about computers, so any advice/tips/info would be greatly appreciated. this computer will mostly be used for Engineering College, plus some casual gaming/music editing.
