AoA Guys,
Recently upgraded to an HP Envy Core i5 Windows 8.1 laptop and have to say I'm highly disappointed. Even though the build quality is amazing compared to my last laptop, Windows 8 is shitty and laggy as hell. It eats away battery like there is no tomorrow, Google chrome can't keep up with my typing speed, program get stuck and it just has so many bugs. The windows even though they say is optimized for touch, it isn't as fluent as it should be. I'm not happy at all.
Now my question is as following, should I consider upgrading to a Mac or do you have a better option? Given what Mac OS has to offer is it a worthy upgrade (Must say Yosemite looks amazing) or should I stick with a Windows ultrabook? Will be starting university in September and following will be my needs:
1. Lightweight and easy to carry around a huge campus
2. Great Battery life
3. Fast, I don't want anything to be laggy
4. Will be using it to browse the web, read documents, do my projects, emails, occasionally use photoshop for my Business needs and very rarely play games as most probably will be getting a PS4 for gaming needs.
5. Watch Netflix and movies daily
6. Future-proof, I need the machine to be running for me at least 2 years
7. Beautiful and amazing build quality
8. No temperature and getting stuck issues
9. Great Display screen, full HD at least
When I think about these needs Mac seems perfect to me.
And please as I know next to none about Mac OS, PLEASE state its advantages and disadvantages.
And I don't really have a budget in mind willing to dish out above 1 lac.
