Hello guys, im on the 1st year of my course, Aplications and Videogames, and i need to buy a laptop to work on school.
On this course i have Design, (where i use photoshop and illustrator), Programming (Java, javascript, html, MySQL, C#), 3D(unity3d, autodesk), Video Editing(Premiere, After Effects).

I can spend around 1250€.
I'm not sure what is the best laptop to buy.
I've beed looking for a MacBook or a Asus, not sure which one is the best choice.
Any recommendations ? 😀

UPDATE: My school has no preferences on Mac/Windows, wich one you think is better?

I would look at the compatibility options of the software that you will need to use. If they all work on both platforms then get whichever you prefer, but if they only work well on Windows I would go with the windows machine. You can dual boot a mac to run windows too, but it can be a hassle. The hardware they run on are both virtually the same, so the main difference is software compatibility. Also, as Middlemarkal stated, it's a good idea to ask your professors which platform would be better for the courses.
