Can you suggest a PC laptop that has the solid look and feel of a Macbook Pro?

<stifles laughter>
No

Have recently heard good things about Lenovo, a former IBM brand. But I haven’t serviced campus-loads of PC for over 7 years. A lot changes in that span of time. I Think id you want the look and feel of a MBP, just save coin a while longer and buy an MPB. otherwise you will always kind of think you sold yourself short. And from my personal less than 7 year experience. you wont be disappointed.

Try this thread.

Anything in the MacBook price range will be solid and attractive.

Buy a MacBook Pro and use Boot Camp to install Windows on it. It’ll be the best Windows machine you’ve ever used.

If you’re talking about a similar look and feel from a design aspect, there’s this Sony Vaio and others. I haven’t really used them, so I couldn’t tell you how close the build quality matches a MBP. They are a little on the pricey side for a Windows machine, but generally less expensive than a MBP.

If you talking about a machine that has excellent build quality, solid hardware, and can take a beating, I can personally vouch for Lenovo. I’ve had a ThinkPad T61 for about two years and it has been a very solid machine. The design of the ThinkPad’s are more ‘business’ oriented (i.e. utilitarian). They can also be a little on the pricey side, but again usually much less expensive than a MBP.

You might also check this MSI. It really comes down to what you want. There are a lot of solid laptop manufacturers out there, and most have different levels of machines varying at cost, build quality, specs, design, etc.

@se_ven Yeah that Vaio NW series really does look like a MBP.

But for me, my MBP is the best purchase I have made in my whole life. My first laptop for myself was a MBP. I looked around, but the MBP had everything I needed and I knew it was going to last me, so I just bit the bullet and saved up for a long time. I bought it, and have never been happier. Plus, I got it before the unibody ones came out, and I don’t like them, so I’m glad I bought it when I did.

Long story short: save up for a MBP if you really want one. If you can live with another computer that is of good quality, then it’s your choice.

This is not a dig at Macs its a dig at how shyte windows is .

Lenovos are really well built, rock solid machines. They have some really nice designs, including a pull-out 7” screen on their workstation notebooks, and a built-in Wacom tablet. Spill proof, impact resistant, LED screens, rull fange of sizes, fully customizable… They’re tanks! They’re just black and run Windows. If that’s a downer for you, well… You’re out of luck anyway. Go buy a Mac.
