With the growing discontent in how apple is making the macbooks (link link) and looking myself to replace my own 2012 macbook pro I decided to compile a list of suitable alternatives for my next computer.
This is not an exhaustive list but only a small research I did in a weekend, feel free to contact me if some info is outdated or if you want something added.
Disclaimer:
Prices are kind of rounded and may have changed. Sometimes there are multiple configurations available, in these cases I took the best cpu/ram combo without touching the hdd/ssd. A link is provided for the source of information. Some computer can also have big (10-20%) discount if you wait so you can get them at less then the price listed here.
Repair scores are taken from ifixit.com
