The current generation of Thinkpads isn't that impressive. They're moving away from metal builds and falling for the touchscreen and thinness memes.

Surface Book is the future, but it still has too many 1st generation problems to iron out. 8GB RAM standard, good battery, 3:2 screen, and none of that Core M bullshit. I think Dell may be the only other manufacturer to have a flagship laptop worth a damn.

Surface Book is even more delicate than current thinkpads. I fell for this meme, and as I type this, I have to be careful to not jostle the computer too much, or the shitty hinge will fail, the tablet will become briefly disconnected from the power supply in the base, and everything will force shutdown after about 20 seconds of angry rapid fire beeping.

Surface Pro is pretty nice though.

But CumPads are one of the best laptops out there, not much more makes sense.

Either you're poor and buy a "good enough" used laptop for minimal price, or you spend a bit bigger sum of money for the very best, which is sadly just Apple.

All the memes like XPS aren't good enough to excuse the price nor cheap enough to take them over Macbooks.

>>55576488
Because 16:10 screens are more expensive and this is a budget product with a pricetag of a premium product.
>>
>>55577841
The fuck are you talking about? You get way better specs for the money with the XPS over the retina MBPs, you're paying a several 100 dollar premium for arguably better build quality and different software with the MBP.

That's simply not true, at best you could argue that it has a higher screen resolution, which brings more downsides than positives, specially on Windows or Linux. Also it's 16:9.

Other than that, they are very similar, XPS got a newer CPU until Macbook refresh is released but given that rMBP got a 28W instead of a 15W CPU, i7 from XPS is pretty much identical with i5 from rMBP. As is the rest like SSD size and speed.

>you're paying a several 100 dollar premium for arguably better build quality
And a much better trackpad and better battery life. Pretty important things for a laptop I'd say.

The software itself is an even bigger factor worth much more than 100 bucks but it's hard to make discussions about that objective.

Because they hit a reasonable balance between resolution and battery life, unlike the 6h on XPS with 4k.

Also there is not much use for high resolution screen if the OS you going to run doesn't support scaling well.

>>55578256
It would be news to me that XPS has a clitmouse. I mentioned Chinkpads as the very best budget version already; but you must be deluded if you think they matter in the premium sector.

Besides, clit - trackpad is a lot down to preference either way.

This. 16:10 and 16:9 are near indistinguishable in real use, except 16:10 produces fucking hideous black bars when watching media.

For anyone that cares about vertical space they're both shit, and a 3:2 Surface works far better for "muh productivity depends so much on vertical spaec".

16:10 wankery is solely from mactard shills that have completely and utterly run out of things to defend on their overheating throttling facebook machines.

If the "real use" is gayming or watching movies, people who buy laptops tend to care about a bit more. Besides 16:9 tends to add an ugly lower bezel to your budget product priced at a premium.

>3:2 Surface works far better for "muh productivity depends so much on vertical spaec"

Other than that, you're comparing 13 with 15, and please don't bother with the LE SMALL BEZELS. They won't negate the huge size difference.

Also lolbenchmarks. This is where software comes into the play and depends entirely on what you do. Something like video editing would be still faster on a mac for example. Most of CS stuff probably faster on the Dell.

because these "shitty ULV" cpus perform better than the standard 35 watt "full voltage" cpus.
It's not even that huge of a difference, it goes from 35 watts down to 25 for the same or better performance.
most dualcore skylake cpus are between 2.5 and 2.9ghz, while the "glorious sandy bridge" cpus where between 2.2 and 2.6, and have far worse integrated graphics.

This does affect quite a few apps though and given how Applel pushed their 3rd party vendors to step their game up, there is no excuses for Microsoft not to do it too, hence we can blame the OS.

Specially after all this time, high resolution screens are standard in the premium sector for at least 2 years now.

>Give one good reason why chiclet keyboards are superior
I like them more. You could list all the reasons why you hate them but it doesn't matter for the people who like them, just like their reasons don't matter to you.

>tiny as shit arrow keys
A niche thing. Most people don't even notice them.

>muh "desktop is the same as mobile"
Where did you get that one from?

>no mouse buttons
No PHYSICAL buttons doesn't mean that they aren't any. It's objectively superior to have the buttons where you want them to be.

>muh metal casing
Cold metal feels fucking nice, also it serves as another heatsink. It's slightly more durable too.

>muh rounded corners
Not a fan of them either but no edges is definitely better from practical purpose.
>>
>>55584507
Chiclet keyboards are objectively inferior because there is less depth. This is literally why they exist.

>Most people don't even notice them

Sure, people who aren't paying attention.

>It's objectively superior to have the buttons where you want them to be.

Wut?
>not knowing where the edge of the button is is objectively superior
>people actually believe this

In my experience this leads to a lot more errors. This is the same shit that leads to borderless buttons (looking at you Google).

>cold metal feels fucking nice

Which makes typing feel better if you don't want too much depth. No need to pretend that there is any objectivity in keyboard preference.

>Sure, people who aren't paying attention.
Hence this doesn't affect them a bit. It's a niche issue. Sucks if you fall under the niche but you can't expect the world adjusting to you.

>not knowing where the edge of the button is is objectively superior
But you do know where it is on a good trackpad; read about the new Force Touch one and even better, try it out. Almost every part of it can be used for left click and depending on where you placed your finger, the (lower) right side FROM IT is the right click.

>In my experience this leads to a lot more errors. This is the same shit that leads to borderless buttons
Personally I never had a problem with either. Talking about Google, take their killing of capacitive buttons, that shit is annoying.

Currently using a macbook air 13" 2013, it's about 3 years old now, works fine mostly but i would like to get a new one within the next 6 months.

13" is pretty much my ideal size, right now i'm considering waiting and seeing what the upgraded pros are like, going for an XPS 13, or something more exotic like a Surface 4(5?) or book.

Given that it's nearly Q3, i probably might as well wait for Kaby Lake, right?

From the non Apple stuff Surface 4 is the only remotely interesting IMO, still has a pretty mediocre battery life and the more powerful ones need a fan while the m3 one got crippled RAM or SSD size; SP5 should be very interesting.
