Currently a student and this'll probably be my main working laptop, I frequently do video and photo editing as well as some light gaming, I'm not looking at things exactly at a price-to-performance ratio as I know one of the two easily outbests the other, I'm looking at the practical side of things as I'll probably be using this for the next 3-4 years or so (Such as weight, durability, battery, longevity)
