I'm looking at getting a new laptop soon and I'm really disappointed in the selection of non-Apple products out there. I have never been an Apple user and I'm not interested in an Apple product, but I really dig what they're doing with the MBP. Is there a decent laptop out there that has a high quality display, nice solid (preferably not plastic) chassis, decent cooling and excellent battery life?
Right now it looks like I might have to go with an MBP and install Windows on it, but I'm put off by a couple of things - price, that stupid fucking magnetic plug and the fact that it's Apple. I don't mind spending a bit of money, but don't want to go crazy.
What I want:
- around 14-15"
- good display
- quality chassis
- great battery life
Less important:
- performance (has to be acceptable, but not amazing - I have a desktop for intensive tasks)
- trackpad (I use a mouse, always)
- aesthetics
- weight
- keyboard quality (I can type on anything)
