- Large, high quality, precision, no bullshit trackpad. This is my #1, seriously. Apple has been the king of trackpads for years. Every Windows machine I've used has had some too-small, too-insensitive, bullshit trackpad and it drives me nuts. If the rest of the machine is amazing and the trackpad sucks, I don't want it.
- Thin and light
- Large SSD (256 GB would be ideal)
- Tons of RAM (8 GB)
- 13" screen is ideal, given how many pixels are packed onto 'em now
- Good battery life
- Backlit keyboard
A touchscreen could be cool, but isn't a requirement. The above stuff matters more.
Any ideas? Not looking to spend a ton of money if I do this, so... I'd say between $500-900 is ideal.
You just described a 13" macbook pro, so get one of those on refurb. There's no compelling reason not to, you dont NEED windows for anything. And, the force touch deal is nice.
