Hello!
I'm looking to purchase a new laptop to replace my Macbook Pro that has unfortunately died after a long life. I'm looking forward to getting a Windows operating system though, since it's been so long.
Besides the usual high, internet usage; I'll be doing some video editing with my GoPro footage, occasionally some music production with programs like Cubase 5 and Ableton, some gaming every now and then, but nothing that requires really high specs. I also like to stream hockey games live, and download a lot of stuff, so a strong WiFi would be a bonus. The ability to upgrade to 16 GB RAM later on would also be awesome.
I'm not a complete noob when it comes to computers, but it's a little overwhelming with everything on the market these days, I need some guidance.
Here are some I've been looking at:

I'm interested in buying from JB HiFi and possibly Harvey Norman because of some good deals they have going on right now. I also plan on financing the laptop but intend to pay it off within a few months.
Let me know what you think, and any suggestions you may have would be really appreciated!
Thanks

Haha, if you think you so.
Well each to their own. Like I said, if you find spending $2700 on a laptop, that is behind (let's face it they are), but you think the overall design and features of a macbook outweigh that issue, then that's your decision.
OP wants value for money, and he wants a Windows PC.
I personally rather power and performance, over design. Not to say that I don't believe PC's to be a poorer design. Like I've stated earlier, I think my PC now to be a better design for performance, especially in regards to gaming.
But I really can compare them, you said I couldn't before. Why couldn't you? Especially when trying to find a laptop that suits your needs, why would you not be able to compare? Just because of it's aluminum body? That's one thing to consider…
