My computers are as follows,
15" Mac Book Pro, 16GB Ram, 750GB HD.
15" HP i5 Pavillion, 8GB Ram, 750GB HD.

CPU types?
are the hard drives sata or SSDs? I presume the former.
You won't be able to change over the hdd in the Mac (they're hard soldered on, which is one of the reasons why I'll NEVER buy another mac), I don't know if HP does the same ****e. RAM is also hard soldered on the Macs too...
These days, I would never advise to buy a mac. Too many hardware design issus (check out Louis Rossman's youtube channel) that Apple refuses to acknowledge, let alone fix. Post sale support from Apple is also torridly bad.
As much as I dislike Windows, at least you can replace it with Linux :-)
I personally wouldn't go with a laptop these days, too much BS going on with hard soldering and price jacking for upgrades. Far better to go with a normal PC, preferably built by yourself so you know the quality of the parts used. It ain't hard to build a PC. You'll also get more bang for buck from a PC than laptop in terms of price vs performance.
But hey, what do I know, 15 years in the industry, and 20+ years of building my own PCs...
