Macbook or Microsoft Notebook?
I have a budget of 1600€.
I need it for developing mainly c# and web-dev.

    Surface book I'd say. Build quality is good - I'm generally a happy camper.

    I'd say dell xps 15, it has fastest HQ CPU instead of U like the surfaces...but if you really want a surface go for it. all options are better than a mac

    I have been a C# developer and I own a Mac now for several other reasons. I use Mac for C# on and off. If you are sure that you are gonna develop in C# , I would highly recommend a Windows laptop.

    C# devs? grab a Thinkpad!

    There are ways to do it, but from experience, C# dev on a Mac is a bit of a pain. I'd recommend Windows if that's your primary role. Easy to do web dev on Windows too.

    You're not going to get a great Surface Book for that amount of cash. I'd go with the DELL XPS.

    As other's have suggested get a DELL XPS. You can grab a good deal at the outlet on their website. You wouldn't be able to get a fast spec'd Surface Book for that price. I've tried C# dev on a MacBook and I've actually stopped developing in C# because it's just a pain on a Mac. Get a decent PC that will have support from its vendor.

    @robzombie111 Can you explain your suggestion? I can see only MS hate based on 90s stereotypes

    Dell is nice but I love Thinkpads more. The new Thinkpad 13 looks great.

    @norman70688 Ahh, sure with this high budget. I didn't checked if you can full-spec the 13.

    MacBook Pro for most users, but Surface for you as a C# dev.

    @spneshaei I wouldn't buy ever a macbook to develop in any language... Except for ios and mac os, in that case you must have a mac

    @robzombie111 but still your suggestion didn't fit at all with the question...furthermore, you know that when you buy a macbook the expensive license cost it's already included? also when you buy a Windows pc, and in this case the license cost is much cheaper than you think
