Hi Guys
Just looking for some advice. I am looking to part time trade, I’m taking baby steps, just been getting more and more interested, reading up on the forums, YouTube videos and now this baby pips course.
I am getting a new laptop and I want it to also be decent to trade on, technically i would already be good to go, I have a 15inch HP Probook, a large monitor also, but I am only office bound once a week, and I don’t want to primarily trade on my works laptop.
I was looking at portability but good reselution and speed as if needed I have the other laptop to show more information if needed.
I got it down to 2. The new MacBook Pro 13 with the i5 and 16gb ram. Or the surface book pro 4 fully spec’d out.
Pros i can see with Mac - Fast for what seems a lower spec.
The ability to have multiple desktops, with track pad I can easily switch between screens. Resolution, durability and boot up time is very quick! And it’s a large screen for a 13.
Negatives with Mac - it’s iOS- I would likely have to boot camp to get most software? NT and think or swim? Price not to much an issue as I can lease.
Pros for Surface 4 - great hardware, great resolution, the ability to write notes with the pen and keep trading journal easier? It’s windows so more compatible with software from the start. I am not sure on the multi desktop ability or ease of switching between charts etc?
Negatives surface 4 - smaller screen for 13, more like 12inch or so? Longevity, I know windows is better now but after a year I’ve always had dramas, it needs to last 3 years +
Thanks guys you views are most appreciated.
