Can we finally put an end to this meme?

Who are you quoting, newfriend? Did you just save the pasta yesterday?

lmao its not even the best laptop in its class

rMBP

>Better screen
>Better trackpad
>Better OS (subjective but not really)
>Better build quality
>Faster storage
>Better support

Welp

Not really worth buying either until the new rMBP comes out to compare.

I like my Alienware.
Only issue is I had to entirety gut it and remove mobo to get to cmos battery when I accidentally overclocked RAM and could not post

you're one to talk about memes, mr. copy pasta

...

But I am not talking about video games nor do I care much for video games.

XPS 15

>better screen size ratio
>more performance
>easily upgradeable and self maintainable with good manual on how to do change any hardware built in
>not glued together like cheap trash
>Better connectivity
>Lower price on FHD model
>Dell support might be worse but is still adequate so no real issue. They send you new laptops if anything is wrong with your one or a technician to solve issues in 24 hrs (at least in Germany)

>better screen size ratio

?

Just got i5 6200 8ddr4 940m Acer for 400 euro. Feels good....

umh, i dont see any argumentation

X1 Carbon 2016

>buy mac
>pay apple hardware tax

>buy dell
>pay microsoft software tax

I want to use Linux, why should I pay for proprietary shitty software I won't use?

cuz they won the oem battle

>pay microsoft software tax
>Kek

both suck ass compared to Thinkpads that cost 5 times less

>no numeric keyboard
dropped

You can sue for getting Freedos instead of forcedly paying for windows. There are lots of samples and the customers always won the cases.


XPS 15 beats mbpr hardware-wise currently. 4K screen, NON THROTTLING cpu paired with a competent GPU, lighter, thinner bezels, more accurate colors and wider color space, good keyboard spacing and great touchpad. Macbook easily throttles to 800mhz in load while XPS 15 maintains at least 2.7ghz in hottest situations. If the unit thermal pads are not defective, max CPU temp you can see with XPS 15 is around 75-80C while Macbook hits 99C as soon as you load the CPU. Also macbook doesn't have thunderbolt 3 yet and uses DDR3. XPS has much better linux support. Windows has wider array of enterprise software (inb4 faggots complaining about botnet) than OS X.

XPS shits all over it in build quality, performance, price, display, OS, expandability, design and peripherals.

Out of the way

I am but most of those implications are wrong. Some faggot who has never used macbook wrote it and created the pasta, other non-macbook users keep spamming it in every thread. Most are completely wrong, some of the rest are semi-true. Pff.

When I was looking at laptops around 2014 I think I got my rMBP because it was refurbished from Apple and therefore cheaper than any of the XPS's that I could buy not off ebay/craigslist. I think that there was a sale for the smaller model that made it competitive but at that point having an Unix-like OS still made it a better option IMO. Could have done the XPS but then I would end up distrohopping all day and the battery life would suck huge dickies unless I spent a shit load of time doing what Apple or Microsoft did already.

Pretty happy with my MBP, but I would prolly be plenty happy with an XPS. I think there was one other model that I was looking at that did what I wanted too, but it wasn't as competitive as these two price-wise.

I always thought Apple was way overpriced until I looked at "ultrabooks" and realized that there are Windoze machines that are much worse value. Plus OS X mang... prolly my favorite OS. If they just added a proper repository for all the things people actually use (like macports or homebrew but actually built in) then it would hands-down be the best OS on the market.

Not here.
This thread is between two competing laptops.
Apple can't compete with the X1.

Screen size to device size. The 15" XPS fits in 14" cases.

>not the MX
You fucked up son

So I guess this means that the xps wins?

Except the XPS has terrible, terrible Linux support to the point where dual booting is impossible

XPS15 is looking tempting, not gonna lie. No way I'm paying that much for it though, gonna wait till I can get it 2nd hand.

Are any laptops as utter fucking shit as memebooks?

>16:10 vs 16:9

Why is this even a question?

This.

16:10 is a fucking joke. Black bar shit in multimedia, and trash compared to 3:2 for productivity. Literally worst of both worlds.
