That MBP is a spring 2014 model that you are comparing against a fall 2016 Dell. It's amazing that the Dell doesn't cost US$1000 less.

You might want to tell Apple, they think they released it in April 2015. Meanwhile as best I can tell, the Dell was out in August of 2016. I have no horse in the race. I'll be upgrading my Mac with another Mac. But it's not Dell's fault Apple has been neglecting its entire computer range: over a year since the last iMac bump, 18 months for the MBA, 2 years for the Mini and nearly 3 years for the Mac Pro (I love how they're still charging full retail for the Pro components, or worse, $280 for 64GB ECC, but $1200 from Apple).

  The 2015 model was just the 2014 model with a cheaper trackpad.

    Now you're just being disingenuous. According to Everymac, the following changes were made: - CPU went from a i7-4578U to a i7-5557U (Haswell to Broadwell) - memory was upgraded from 1600 DDR3L to 1866LPDDR3 - SSD was given extra lanes of PCIe - Iris 5100 went to Iris 6100 - Force Touch - "more advanced", not cheaper - Battery life improvements In fact the summary is that "internally, the 13-Inch "Mid-2014" and "Early 2015" MacBook Pro models have little in common except that both have soldered memory, "blade" SSDs, and batteries that are glued in place."
