So /g/, which is better, the Dell XPS 13 or the 2015 MacBook Pro? Or is there a better laptop on the market?

I'm seriously considering the xps15, is there anything known to be wrong with it?

For real? I thought there was a fix for the xps13, and it was just memeing
>>51744670
Ah yes, the laptop that gets superior battery life only with the Pleb tier 1080p display, and gets fucked by the retina for the High DPI version

No.

Poo in the loo, Parjeet
>>51744546
The better laptop is for sure the XPS 15.
13 is nice and all but the extra size screen you get without bezels is wonderful + the 15 offers much better performance options.

>>51745206
I can afford it, it's just for that price why not go the 15 inch macbook pro?
it depends what you wanna do with it.
I ended up getting the gf a Zenbook UX305 for xmas,
I checked it out in the MS store, it was zippy enough for all her needs.
No point in over spending on shit you don't need.
>>51745222

>>51745253
How is it worse?

>>51745201
If you're purchasing such a premium computer you might as well get something nice.
Base model is 999. Just sayin.
>>51745312
What's wrong with an 800 mhz cap? And what do you mean boiling water?
>>51745378
Seems like the hardware is similar between the XPS and the MBP, but the build quality seems better on the MBP. Am I wrong in that?

fuck there are people still using PPC macbooks running Tiger in this day and age. and C2D MBPs are common as fuck.
best of all, in 5 years you will be able to sell your macbook for 500-700. how much will you get for your 5 year old chinkpad or dell no-name laptop? $50 LOL
>>51745466
Can you elaborate? I've seen nothing but bad build quality from Windows laptops, you don't really hear about bad build quality in MacBooks.
>>51745514
Sauce?
What's wrong with plastic hinges, don't the venerable thinkpads have those?
>>51745706
Mac users have trouble figuring out google, so they congregate on apple.com.
>>51745709
Thinkpads have titanium hinges, not recycled soda can hinges like facebooks.
>>51745818
I don't get this, XPS is a premium product so they wouldn't put something so terrible in it.
I doubt there are any reports of this being a problem.
>>51745836
There aren't. It's just iShills' last desperate straw grasping to defend their terribly designed overheating laptops.
>>51745788
Again you don't elaborate.
What's the battery life like on a Macbook Pro?
>>51745788
>that laptop was closed, and stomped on, HARD

They fare pretty well considering their hardware is three times as powerful and have half the battery capacity.

Can someone tell me what they think of the yoga 900? The price is the same for the Dell and macbook for better specs in a totally sex design
>>51744546
get a prebuilt tower if you want power
use smartphone for portable needs
laptops are shit all around.
>>51747903
For all my macshilling, it does look genuinely worth the shekels. Considering replacing my macbook with one at some point.
>>51748009
Yeah same desu. I've never seen anyrhing about it on g.
Serious question. How can you justify spending over $400-500 on a laptop? They're going to become obsolete and you can't even upgrade them unlike a desktop. I want one but fuck me I just can't go through with it.
>>51744546
>Buying a meme book
The XP13 is pretty sick, going to pick one up for school next month
>>51748043
Tbh tho senpai the only thing that concerns me is supposedly the SSD in it is sub par compared to what's in Macbooks and Surface book etc.
Man 16:10 looks so fucking awkward on laptops. Imagine how much nicer that XPS would look if its bottom bezel were half its current thickness...
Why not get one of the Surface Pros?
>>51748079
Tru Senpai, tru. The surface book and macbook aren't as good in every other category except battery. The yoga still has the edge in my opinion.
>>51748053
Having enough money and needing it.

I meant 16:9, arg

Sorry bruv.
My condolences.
>>51744670
>800$
That comes in the reasonable range for a laptop of those specs, doesn't it?
>>51745702
pretty much this.
I don't even consider selling my 2012 rMBP and before I purchase this in 2012 I only had a late 2007 C2D mbp Which today I still use it for Archive purpose and listening FLAC. I renewed the thermal compound myself last week. it was like 60 Celsius idle before and now 40 Celsius idle and around 60 Celsius listening FLAC, Torrenting and Safari with a few tabs open also using it dual screen.
All I get is great user experience from apple products. I think people are jealous bcs they don't have it. It's the Ultimate Normie Computer imo and it's powerful enough!

How are they?
>>51748141
I'm with you anon. Why the fuck does anyone want so much extra horizontal space on a machine they will use for work?? I can just about cope on a 23+" monitor but I'm clinging to my thinkpad like an autistic child until a windows machine comes to save me with a sensible screen. I think it's the best thing about macbooks to be honest.
>>51744546
>Narrower bezel and more efficient use of the laptop's footprint in every direction except vertical, the direction used for reading/work/everything except watching wide-screen films.
I don't know why they would put so much work into this and still gimp the machine with a 16:9. Even though it has fucking huge disgusting bezels, because of its taller screen, the Apple still makes better use of the space imo.
Is now a good time to buy a 15" MBP ? Would like to buy it with 2,8 Ghz, 16 Gb RAM and 512 Gb SSD. Or should I wait for the new Skylake ones ?
>>51751404

the dell XPS15/ dell precision equivalent
Will getting the 4k display on the XPS 15 kill any chance of gaming on it? I have a 2011 XPS 15 with sandy bridge i5 and GT 525m gpu. Looking to upgrade. I don't want a gaming laptop but enjoy having a game or two on my XPS but that 4k is also tempting.
>>51753999
>gaymen
>laptop
>&c
You can always downscale the fuck out of it.
>>51754038
My XPS with a GT 525m plays Fallout 3 and Metro 2033 alright. Surely a GTX 960m is a huge leap from what my current laptop has right? It's not a dedicated gaming laptop but I do enjoy using the GPU on occasion.
>>51753999
You can still run games at a lower res...
>>51744546
XPS15 has way better specs. Better screen, better cpu, much better gpu. Bezels are thinner. Trackpad is just as good.
>>51754482
Will 1080p settings on the 4k screen look and perform the same as the 1080p screen and settings?
>>51754506
Is the build quality as good?
>>51754558
Yes
>>51754506
>Trackpad is just as good.
That's more MS being sick of Synaptic and Elan being utter incompetent retards and writing their own drivers for Synaptic/Elan touchpads for W10.
>>51754562
>is aluminum, titanium, magnesium, and carbon fiber better than cheap shitty plain aluminum?
>>51754581
Hey, it's not like Windows laptops aren't known for their shitty build quality.
>>51754558
It depends how well the panel scales. More or less, yes.
>>51754591
>why is a $200 laptop made of cheap plastic
It's not like retards like you are known for having a functional brain.
>>51754614
>implying that's limited to the bargain bin laptops
>>51754428
Yeah 960m can runs games well, there is no reason why it can't.

So then, the rMBP 13, the XPS13, or the XPS15? The XPS 15 seems best but there's something about the rMBP
>>51744546
>>51744546
MacBook because:
> godly force touch trackpad
> Better higher wattage CPU (27W vs 15W)

Pic related for GNU/Linux users who want to talk about computers, not a "meme" used by people who don't know what's the difference between bash and a tty.
Some Windows users would prefer a Mac indeed and Windows is shit indeed but GNU/Linux is a hobby OS and Mac OS X is too expensive, so they're "triggered" and feel some/a lot of frustration.
These two communities are all bumping Mac OS X threads and make Apple a bait goodness.

>>51765666
>same anon
Seriously why dont you just consider renting a server monthly or setting up a low power high yield server to remote into with hyper-v or your choice of hyper visor and get low end shilltop? Think about it. You could spend much less, get your processing done on an actual server that you decide on specs, and then if you need to do gaming you can afford a a dedicated platform for gaming such as a console.
DENSE MOTHERFUCKERS we build everything with one purpose. As soon as you start stacking you break the construct. It is like the memebook pro 2015- you couldn't even get java to run in the fucking browser without summoning an incarnate wheel of homos.
