...I'd definitely recommend buying this Asus ZenBook S16. The screen is really beautiful, the slim form factor is really pleasant and offers excellent portability. Add to that a good battery life and, of course, good connectivity, and you have the perfect cocktail for a quality PC. It's top-of-the-range, and you'll have to pay the price, but you won't be losing out on a MacBook.
