I think it's also interesting to note that for the first time Apple is lagging behind in term of CPU generation when introducing redesigned MacBooks.
The new MacBook Pro are said to be using 6th generation of Intel CPU (Skylake) when you have already on the market the 7th generation on Intel CPU (Kaby Lake). You are even competitive laptops using them already: http://www.gsmarena.com/new_dell_xps_13_laptop_comes_in_rose_gold_finish_launching_next_month-blog-20520.php http://www.gsmarena.com/new_dell_xps_13_laptop_comes_in_rose...
As a web developer, I think something like this laptop with Windows 10 is becoming more and more interesting. With Ubuntu native integration in Windows, you can even run the Ubuntu versions of the full stack including Node.js, Mongodb and Rails. 100% matching your deployment environment.
- zeusly 10y agoas I understand it, the MBP line uses the 45W CPUs and I think they aren't out yet
- mamon 10y agoSo what? Apple could do the same thing Dell did: release 13 inch version with Kaby Lake today, and postpone 15 inch till December. I personally can't wait until xps 15 with 7th gen Intel and NVidia Pascal debiuts
- vladimir-y 10y agoIn my opinion recently updated HP Spectre x360 (comes with Kaby Lake, like updated XPS 13) is a better MacBook competitor than Dell XPS 13.
- smnplk 10y agoyupp, the new dell xps looks like a legit macbook killer.
- nyxtom 10y agoBash for Windows needs to hurry up and fix/implement the networking stack already so I can actually make a decent switch. That being said, once they fix all that crap then it will be an easy switch.
- hartator 10y agoWhat do you mean by networking stack? I have run MongoDB + Rails without issues.
