Laptop recommendation

Hello, i am looking for a laptop.


I just got the Acer Predator Helios 300 gaming laptop, which had the GTX 1060, 16 gb ram, and a core i7 7700HQ. It has a 15" screen. The laptop is very heavy, maybe 6-8 pounds, and is not really that "portable"

I need a laptop that is as small and light as possible, that i can use for writing notes, school, etc.


I would not really like it to be windows, so i am looking into the Macbooks and the Chromebooks.

I really love the design of the 2017 12" macbook, but the 13" macbook pro hovers over the 12" mcabook, costing almost the same price, but the pro has better specs. I am leaning to the 12" macbook, because i just LOVE the design, and i keep telling myself i dont need "PRO" specs for writing notes, email, web browsing, etc. but i cant get over the fact that the pro has better specs for the same price.

I am also considering the samsung chromebook pro, or the google PixelBook.

BTW my budget is $1000.

I can get a lightly used macbook pro 13" or a lightly used 12" macbook for under 1000$.

So what would you guys recommend?
 
None of those to be honest but if you have set your mind on them then nothing I will say will change your mind. Personally if it was for school (I'm 67 so not likely in my case) I would stick with Windows. Totally forget the Chromebook and the Pixelbook. But as I say that is just my opinion. Now wait for the rest of the 64 million suggestions LOL.

I have not found a windows laptop that is as good as the 12" macbook in design. I wish i could have windows 10 on the 12" macbook....

If i buy the macbook, i will be buying it for the design, its just so small, thin, and light that no windows laptop (or chromebook) can beat it. i need something nice and small, and portable, and is not a clunky laptop.
