Serious question: Is there anything resembling the Macbook Pro on the PC front with regards to build quality, overall design, lack of clunkiness, weight, size, lack of annoying half-assed internationalized keyboards, trackpad and wake-from-sleep functionality?
I've owned a high-end Thinkpad, and it was a good laptop. But it didn't come close. That's what I'm asking here. I don't care if it costs > $2,000. Quality doesn't come cheap, but it's embarrassing if Apple is the only player that can do this.

- stefan_kendall 13y agoBootcamp can even install Windows to your macbook pro from an ISO. Works great.
- dangrossman 13y agoTake a look at the Asus UX301LA and Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus with i7 (just came out in October, upgrade of the original model by the same name). They are both well-built and very attractive, all-metal/glass with no moving parts, thin-and-light, big ceramic-coated trackpads, and wake from sleep faster than you can fully open the lid with Win8.1. 3200x1800 or 2560x1440 touchscreens. I don't know about their internationalized keyboards, though.
