Apple vs PC

One of my clients needed help picking out a new computer. See below for my recommendations...

Hello,

I have reviewed your request with your budget and features that you would like on your new laptop. You mentioned that This person will be supporting the ABC Project and will need email, Word, and Excel. This person will also be modifying graphics, but there will be no new development of original artwork or animations.

I did some research and I found two options that I think would fit your needs and stay within your budget of $2,500.

Apple - MacBook Pro 15.4” Laptop - $2,499.99 (regular price $2,799.99)

Intel Core i9

16GB Memory

521GB Solid State Drive

Radeon Pro 560X graphics with 4GB of video memoryUltrafast SSD

Four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports

Up to 10 hours of battery life

macOS Mojave

Microsoft - Surface Book 2 - 15" Touch-Screen PixelSense™ - 2-in-1 Laptop

Intel Core i7

16GB Memory

256GB SSD

Battery Life - 17 hours

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060

Windows 10 Pro

1 Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port

Either pick would be a very good option and keeps you under budget. Apple products tend to be more user friendly so that would be my first choice. The MacBook comes with  retina display and will be very clear for graphics. The surface Book also has a 4k display screen. With either laptop, you can download the Microsoft suite from the company IT store. Please let me know if I can assist you any further with your selection. Again, you can’t go wrong with either pick.
