Because what good is fast hardware if the OS you use is only good for video games and spyware?
>>
>>54333578

So you're going to pay more money to have less bezel regardless of the fact you'll have worse hardware including the screen?


So you basically don't actually care about function you just want it to look pretty? I believe you're on the wrong board.

What's the point of fast hardware if the only thing your OS is good for is not being windows?

Linux can't even use all hardware.

No I 100% agree with you.


WOW like no bezels oh muh god.

Too bad it doesn't have the other stuff to back that one single feature up.

It has a Thunderbolt 3 port and can be sold with a quad core i7.
When you have Thunderbolt, you don't need other features.

What was the point of this post? The RBS is better than the XPS13 and cheaper.
>>
>>54335739
How do the Razer Blade Stealth and XPS 13 compare in battery life, though? That's a huge selling point for many with the XPS
>>
>>54335784
Very similar thanks to Firmware updates on the Stealth. The XPS 13 gets around 7-8 hours of web browsing time. Stealth gets almost 7.

As >>54335795 said they are very comparable

It definitely makes a strong argument for itself when compared to the $1299 RBS.

The rMBP is cheaper and better build.

Plus, you get a certified UNIX, fully supported by the vendor.

Serious question: how shit are windows and Linux on macbooks? I'd want to use both on it; it's very important. Do they really fuck battery life that badly? And I also heard chrome destroys battery on osx... That would be a huge bummer for me. I also have no intention of using iTunes or idevices. The alternative for me is the chromebook pixel 2. Lighter, slightly better screen, better Web browsing battery life, and Linux that doesn't suck.

The only way the MacBook would be more appealing to me would be if it had good battery life with chrome, if windows on it worked great, if Linux compatibility was just as good if not better than the pixel, and if the overheating meme is way exaggerated

Macfags please respond

>>54333695
No one wants sloppy seconds.
>>
>>54346253
Also want to ask; how is in store battery support? I'm not too worried about the non user access to it so long as it's reasonable to officially replace. It's not a big hassle to drop $100 on a battery replacement from a mac store considering an external battery for anything else would still cost almost that much

I hope that people don't overclock their 1000€ laptops. That would be beyond stupid. And I guess most people use their super expensive laptops mainly as Facebook machines.

How is battery life if you're conservative with it?
>>
>>54350143
I don't have it yet, but a review of the same config I've seen said it can do 8-9 hours doing basic web browsing/watching videos
which is pretty awesome for a 15in laptop with those specs
>>
>>54350190
Yeah that's fucking sweet. With the i7 and thunderbolt 3 that's basically a desktop replacement. Impressive

It's a great machine on the surface but complete shit once you actually use it on a daily basis.
