I have a surface Pro i7 for work. I really like it. The only thing is that if you like to put it on your lap like a normal laptop then that won't work with the surface pro. It is really a tablet with a keyboard cover with laptop internals.

Build quality of the Surface line is really good. If I was buying for myself I'd get a Surface Book with the discrete Nvidia graphics.

A comparable Macbook starts at $1,300; I use my laptop as my primary computer, on which I do work and watch (((media))). It's worth the investment.

Recently caved and bought $1500 MacBook for the wife. She uses it for work all the time, which is why she HAD to have something expensive. Work, in this instance, means email and some office docs. By the time we finish with all the accessories we may as well have set over $1000 on fire.

To be fair, it is much higher quality than a $500 computer and will last much longer. Things like the keyboard and screen are much nicer too.

thinkpads have better keyboards than macs, and you can get a HD screen on a pc.

"last much longer" is mac flame. better to buy 3 $500 laptops than one $1500 one.

""last much longer" is mac flame. better to buy 3 $500 laptops than one $1500 one."

It is not. Dealing with a laptop crash (or a dying laptop), buying a new laptop, setting it up is a PITA. I understand you're cheap and don't value your time/convenience at all, but if you did you would see why a better $1500 laptop that lasts 3x as long (or more) is cr. And I say this as someone who isn't all in on Apple. I have one MBP, one custom gaming laptop, a surface pro and wife has two thinkpads (one Yoga, one T series).

Check ebay and depends on if you want the family or personal licenses or individual or what.

For photoshop, I don't know since I don't use those. Check gray market for that too. Buying gray market keys won't get your system raped.
