Hello, what do you think is better choice for my use (general use, rating photos before editing and rarely photo editing in photoshop and capture one): New Microsoft Surface Laptop i5 8250U, 8Gb Ram, 128Gb SSD 12 mont warranty or almost new MacBook Pro Retina 15 (2013) - Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz 3720QM, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 256GB SSD, 2x: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024MB + Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536MB . MacBook has only 15 cycles and 12 month warranty from the shop I would buy it from. I am photographer and I use desktop PC as main machine, where i do 99% of photo editing. Price of both MacBook and Surface Laptop is around 880 dollars in my country. I do care for color accurate display. Thank you

That MacBook is not new, it's six years old, and its CPU is several generations behind current Intel CPUs. Don't believe statements like "six cycles", or so. Unless you need to run MacOS, I see no reason spending these money on a dying horse.
