MBP or M15x

Summer session ended 2 weeks ago and my Thinkpad x100e decided to fail on me. (They weren't reliable as they used to be)

My budget is under $2k I enjoy using adobe Illustrator for work and play Fallout 3 on my spare time. That's it. Also a clear webcam for the ladies.

Its a tough one really. :iono:

just because its a a Mac I wouldn't give Apple money and just get the Alienware

Macs are cool. Before my thinkpad I had a alumnium macbook pro. Great thing was it was plugin play and required absolutelu no drivers for any device. (printers, scanners, audio interfaces.)

Still looking to pull the trigger. Fershure i;m getting a matte screen if i get the mac. For the alienware I'm gonna have to deal with getting a antiglare screen protector film. :mad:

You get more for your money compared to the comparable Macbook Pro and they're a lot better looking than that hideous Alienware laptop.
