I’m just one second before buying the new 2017 MacBook Pro 15 2.9GHz Processor With 512GB Storage that costs 2799$ and before I’m putting this amount I want to advice with you guys about the new Asus Zephyrus.
This notebook has a great build quality and have the 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7-7700HQ Quad-Core and same ram and SSD but the big difference is the graphics card that this machine have : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (8GB GDDR5X).
The price of this machine is the same.

Do you think that this machine can compete the MacBook Pro 15? I want to be able to enjoy both gaming world and Mac lover world and install some dual boot Sierra and windows 10 .

The full specs of the machine :

  • 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7-7700HQ Quad-Core
  • 16GB DDR4 RAM | 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD
  • 15.6" 1920 x 1080 120 Hz G-Sync Display
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (8GB GDDR5X)
  • 802.11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi | Bluetooth 4.1
  • USB 3.0 | USB Type-C | HDMI
  • Windows 10 Pro (64-Bit)
