Looking to get a new laptop. Was pretty much set on the a MBP 15 Haswell 16GB, 512GB SSD.....until i realized it would cost me nearly 3k with applecare. Seems a little high, especially considering I couldn't care less about about MacOSX.
I run a company provided Windows VM, but I used CentOS desktop VM for most of my work. Only 15% of my usage on my current laptop is non-work related, and its just browsing the web when I am on the airplane.
Is there anything out there that is better than a 15" MBP haswell? My main concern being battery life.
Min Specs 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD.
Other than that im not too particular on the other specs. A major bonus would be, if it had a docking station/port replicator accessory i could buy.
