Hi,

I've been using Macbook Pro 13 2017 for the past 2 years but I still don't like the way Mac works. I find that It cuts down on my productivity due to the need to have extra steps
-open a photo/file via Finder, then close it, it'll go to another app instead of back to Finder. Waste time to go back to Finder. Really pisses me off.
-unable to scroll through photos. need to use spacebar and even then it is not as easy as Windows.

I need to go through hundreds of photos for 1 house and I do it a couple of times a week. These 2 issues really slows me down.

I love that it is
-blazing fast even after 2 years
-the speaker as it is so loud and clear
-the Retina screen is so bloody sharp. My eyes hurt when I use my wife's Macbook Air. Can't get used to a poor screen laptop anymore hehe.
-trackpad is awesome

Which Windows laptop can I get for around RM3000-4000 (Huawei preferred if updates are not an issue) that would be fast, has a very good screen and has a good speaker?
I am just using the laptop mostly for Excel, Word, mostly browsing and Youtube, sorting tons of photos, watching movies, and sometimes video editing.

Thanks

most Ultrabooks have poor / OK speaker quality, would suggest using external solution

none come close to Mac?
