Was a 2016 15” MBP w/Touch Bar (max specs), and macOS. It's on the shelf now. Now it's the new Dell XPS 15” (9560) (max specs), and Windows 10 - Fast Ring.

- 5_minutes 10y agoWhy did you switch? (And put a 4-5k machine on the shelf) The touch bar so horrible?
- akulbe 10y agoThe Touch Bar is gimmicky, for sure. The only useful feature (in my opinion) is Touch ID. Otherwise it's an unnecessary battery drain. Why did I switch? It boils down to this: after 13 years of being a hard core Mac user, it feels like Apple doesn't care about the Mac any more. It feels like all they care about is the iPhone. This Dell? It's a better "MacBook" than Apple's MacBook Pro. Beefier CPU. Beefier GPU. Twice the RAM (32GB). I want raw power, to do my work with. Apple cares more about thin and light, at the cost of everything else.
