1. Preferred Brand : Apple, HP, or Dell
2. Budget - RM7000 +- (lower the better la of course.. lol)
3. Usage - heavy assignment like video editing, 3d rendering, digital imaging
4. Preferred size would be.. 14 to 15inch.
I have did some research on the mentioned laptops, like Zbook, Precision, and MacBook Pro. The spec sheets are somewhat.. i would say, similar. Although the GPU chipset that Windows-based machine offered are good, but internet has many people doing video editing using MacBook Pro too. (And my company is using iMac for 3D rendering)
But there are pros and cons for each of the machines, and I'm not sure which to pick.
I'm actually going to further study, and I need a laptop that is easy to bring, and capable enough for all the mentioned usage above. So that during travelling I don't waste any time to do my assignment and work.
Other than hardware warranty (if it's covered globally, lagi best la), the software is another issue in terms of the overall cost.
As far as I know, Mac OS has lower accessibility on getting the software in a ... "easier" way. Therefore most of my friends who uses MacBook, they actually bought the software themselves, and none of them comes with a cheap price! (Even after discount for students)
I would really appreciate it if anyone here who has experience using these machines, to share your experience and ideas of it, so that I can get a better idea on picking the best machine.
Many thanks!!!!!!
