It is portable and lighter than the MBPr. No bloatware or ****ty McAfee when you first boot it up. It's the purest form of Windows 10 a consumer can get. Which brings the question, is there an official guide on how to install Windows 10 on an external drive? When I need to run engineering software, I could connect to the external hard drive (probably the Samsung T3 SSD) and boot to Windows 10. When I am typing a report, I could use macOS and worry less about how the battery would drain. It would sleep when I want it to and wake when I want it to. The MBPr would fulfill my entertainment needs with good enough battery life. I) MBPr + external hard drive with Windows 10 Okay so after all the above, here are my reasons why I narrowed down to the 2 choices above: Ii) Unable to run many engineering software Iv) Feeling of Microsoft might abandon the users anytime. Redundant folders and files often left where they are. Iii) Software installation often involves registry editing (the installers does it on its own) and leaves a trail of chaos when you uninstall it. Ii) Bad and unpredictable battery life, don't deny it, you all know how it's like.
No idea where the proper settings are, windows updates unpredictable (Take Surface Pro 4 battery life issue as the example), too many "layers" of settings, NO MORE PLACEHOLDER FOR ONEDRIVE. Iv) Off the wall (6 to 8 hours away from the wall socket) traveling with the laptop or 2 in 1. Iii) Run finite element engineering software that are exclusive to Windows. Ii) Web browsing like 9gag, looking at things I can't afford to buy, language learning websites (Duolingo, Deutsche Welle).
I) Watch movies (stream from websites), watch youtube videos. If you have any other laptops or choices in mind, please let me know. Ii) Buy a Surface Pro 4/5, 4 if the price is low enough when the 5 comes out, depends on how well Kaby Lake is. I) Buy a Macbook Pro Retina (i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) and an external hard disk with Windows 10 installed on it. I am currently studying engineering and is at the crossroads on which laptop or 2 in 1s to buy.
