Maybe the 2012 models but if things like upgradablitiy for the future is something that one is looking for than maybe the newer Macs are out of the question. The Envy and Elitebook series from HP is as high rated as it gets in the laptop catagory without buying a custom made one. Plus Apple and HP pretty much get their parts from the same manufactures so maybe the casing is different but the internals will be similar. I have a Mac myself, it's great but it's not the end all for sure. You put these things on a desk with an SSD drive, 8 GB of ram, and a Core i5/i7 and the difference is really gonna just come down to which OS you like the most.
i mean i have a mac and I'm curious bout hp since a lil more cheaper dont mind spending dough though. just want one that i have less issues with and good durability. my mac hasn't giving me issues really just wonder if the HP was a better option or not.
i hate that hdmi too tv is a pain in the ass for the mac though went thru 2 of em quick cuz they stopped working


Please get the model might be time for an upgrade
