Is a MacBook 15 worth it or are there alternatives?

Currently, I ask myself the question of whether a MacBook 15 because Lohne or one should take an alternative.

The following properties have priority. Very good speakers and a good display from 1440p should have it. Furthermore, good workmanship is important. A Thunderbolt 3 connection as well.

The device is used for. Listen to music, watch movies, Internet, word processing and only the two games Fortnite and Eurotruck Simulator 2.

With the requirements, you will also get a number of windows computers. I would look in the direction of asus or toshiba.

As far as the speakers are concerned, the Apple devices are very slim and offer little room for speakers ergo, nothing good…

if you really want to have sound, the investment in an external box is recommended if necessary. Also via bluetooth…

As for the speakers, the MacBook has by far the best speakers I've tested so far. Whether there are devices that has nearly as good or better speakers, I do not know. I can only report on the following notebooks: MSI GS30, GS60 and a barebones MSI, Alienware 15 R3, Lenovo 50-70, an unknown Acer of 2017 and of course the MacBook 15 2018th Everything personally or Checked with known or relatives.

I would be interested in the Asus ux580.

Dear Anna, Since the digitization of audio equipment, depth is no longer a criterion for good sound, but only for the "noise", only that the flat design is a lot more expensive.

Apple would not Apple, if not synonymous, the audio system of the Macs thought through to the smallest detail and high quality would be very high.

The MacBook is absolutely no alternative, because it has its own operating system and offers so many features that only a Mac can, so it is very difficult to compare with other devices.

A MacBook is always a very good overall package. For many other manufacturers, only one point is focused, e.g. Power to push the price, but the other parts are completely neglected.

That is just like vw… From 1.4 liters of displacement you can't squeeze out permanently stable 160 hp out…

or as with the power banks… 3.6 volts up the energy is burned only dull…

But if people just prefer small, compact and stylish, they just have to do without real performance…

when I think of the macintosh plant from the dad of my boyfriend… Then you can see what 20 watts really are…

It is not just about horsepower, also about kW.

No, seriously, even quiet music is good music. For more top and bottom waves, which make the music sound "better", no depth is needed, but width. Comfort instead of performance.

And then think about why so often a Mac (Book) hangs on the mixer of the musicians and not some Windows box. It can be assumed that professionals do not use a Mac for reasons of prestige.

Why Macbook 15 "to listen to music? I have the Macbook Pro Retina 13" and am very satisfied. The display has a reasonable size, listening to music, well, everyone has a different taste. I've had enough. Others imagine a Bose plant next to it. The device is handy, is easy to take on vacation, all the best. There's also the question in the room, why Apple. With me it is so that I have only Apple devices, which are then also all well compatible. If it was a question of money, but rather a different brand.
