1. Asus. This looks pretty nice but it might be a bit slow? The thing that worries me is someone mentioned the sleep function where computer goes to sleep when you put the lid down. I had the same issue with my asus u45jc except it would sometimes do it for no reason and that was a huge problem which is why i stopped using it.

2. Asus very similar as 1st one

3. Same as 2nd Asus but its i7 processor and 512gb ssd. I assume the ssd isn't big deal since you could just buy the 512gb sdd yourself? Thus its really the processor and screen? Big price increase from the 2nd and i heard i5 and i7 doesn't mean that much since its not quad core?

4. macbook pro 13.3. Is the dual core i5 processor still decent? I don't want the 15.4 because its a bit bigger than i like. Also isn't it true with hard drive, theres no point of upgrading with apple since everyone just buys a separate ssd? I don't know why anyone would upgrade to 256gb ssd from 128gb ssd since buying it yourself and installing it or having someone install it would cost much less? I think getting this and putting a 250gb or 512gb ssd would be good enough while ordering the 128gb? The ram is 8gb and i believe you can do up to 16gb ram BUT ONLY if you allow apple to do it. So you cannot upgrade it yourself. So this is a way for apple to get you to pay a lot. But i read anything more than 8gb is unnecessary. They also charge 200 dollars to upgrade from 8gb to 16gb. If you want to add 8gb on your laptop in ram, it cost less than 50 dollars only if its a nonmac.

5. macbook air
This laptop looks like its for someone that uses it for entertainment. So avoid this? Curious if anyone here uses this for heavy multitabling. Processor seems slower than a macbook pro. I would get the 13.3 as oppose to 11.6 as that is way too small even though i use with external monitor. It just looks like someone who wants a nice good looking laptop and does basic things like web browsing and youtube and chrome. Or am i wrong here? It does look good in terms of being very light and thin.

There were 2 other asus laptops that i wanted to post but they are both 15.6 and pretty bulky so i didn't want a bulky laptop.
I read zenbook is like a macbook except its much cheaper which is good. But the thing is i hear many of these laptops have issues on the reviews with the sleep button. I mean if you are playing poker and it goes to sleep, well i had this happen many times with my old asus and don't want that issue again. I don't want any issues or lessen issues with it etc. So im sort of leaning with macbook pro... if not one of those zenbooks. But if choosing either macbook pro or that more expensive zenbook, the macbook is a clear choice right? I will be using bootcamp which i heard is necessary to use windows on a mac. I hear people mention no point in buying a macbook for online poker but i want to make sure my laptop don't have issues. So i kind of want to stay away from other brands. I also have an old asus laptop bought many years ago that has many issues which is why i got a new sager. And also because the asus was too slow. I asked fozzy this in the holdem manager and he recommeneded i5 or i7 and ssd and said he doesn't know much about mac and has no experience.
Thanks.
