Sadly enough, I think the lack of really great options is what may have pushed some engineers to macs in the first place. :)
Admittedly, last I looked was several years ago -- I'm interested to know too! Keep hearing good things about the XPS series, but last I had one it ran hot enough that I couldn't comfortably keep it on my lap.
- caf 10y agoMy current XPS13 has the opposite problem - it can be uncomfortably cold to the point that I'll often put a cushion or something under it.

- modfodder 10y agoDon't know what you're prerequisite for an engineer is but my brother, an aerospace engineer, has been using mac laptops since the 90s. And in the classes he teaches, nearly all the students are using Apple laptops.
