You're honestly fucking up if you get anything but a Mac

naw

Lenovo Y50

ASUS N550JK-DS71T

I'm kinda debating between these two right now. I've read a few different articles and these two have been mentioned a lot

I'd say this one http://www.amazon.com/N550JK-DS71T-Full-HD-Touchscreen-Laptop-Aluminum-Body/dp/B00IAA5BSS/ref=dp_ob_title_ce (same model, better specs)

o apparently you can't link to specific specs. I was referring to the 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD version

$1,300 vs $1000. Is it worth it?

very much so imo. Twice the RAM + an SSD is worth the extra money. Since you're gonna be paying over $1000 anyway might as well GO BIG OR GO HOME!

I can buy like 100 packs of oreos with the money I'd save though

Spoiler	+
Mac.

just sayin

Anything but the Mac, you're paying more for the same quality.

I was going to say Mac as well. I know a lot of people get scared off by Apple because they run so expensive, but I went through like 3 laptops in the amount of time that I've had my Mac. It's one of the best investments I've ever made. I strongly suggest it but I don't know much about the others that you listed so I can't say its better than them.

You could always get a Mac and install the windows OS on it. :P

I've had my Mac for over 5 years. I had a Dell laptop before that which was around $1000 as well and it worked great... for like 2 years, after that it was total shit. I haven't had any issues with my macbook pro. I did have to get a new battery installed last year, but that was about it. Oh, and the chargers aren't all that sturdy if you aren't careful which I had to learn the hard way, but that's about it.

First off, don't get a mac unless you want to have some kind of a multi boot stuff.

16GB over 8GB is very nice, since if you're browsing with a lot of tabs + have a few photoshop windows open + something else, you're gonna use a lot of memory and you DON'T want to run out of it (especially if you have an SSD, since it lowers it lifespan).

Having an SSD is really nice, loading stuff like windows in seconds instead of minutes matters a lot. However you have less storage space with it (unless you pay big bucks) so you might have to use an external drive or something for your stuff (unless you can cram in 2 HDD's in there).

The most important thing is having a good screen, and both of those you linked have it.

Oh and Lenovo and ASUS are great brands both.
