Yeah, I’m in this space too. I am an Apple guy, but increasingly in the non-Mac space. At Christmas I got a low-end HP identical to the machines my two nieces got at the same time (since I’m tech support uncle). Increasingly frustrated with performance even though I upped RAM and SSD. I’m thinking a Surface Book end of the year, but I’d love them to have USB-C support by then.
I have had horrible experience with HP laptops. Their build quality seems really cheap. My mother purchased one and when I went to set it up the fans sounded like a jet engine starting. The display resolution was awful as well. Returned and replaced it with a dell Inspiron that has performed a lot better. I think I will most likely go with Dell but the investment will be closer to $2000 for the specs I'm wanting. Hoping that I can get some real developer reviews on some machines to know which direction to go in.
I've heard great things about surfacbooks.
