Have had a dell xps 13 (project sputnik) for a while now. Best portable laptop I've ever had. Mac doesn't even come close. Every time I have to use a Mac at work I wonder why can't these people wise up. All our infra is Ubuntu. What is the point of running OS X and dealing with all the cross-OS issues.
- amirmansour 10y agoI assume you would be doing things in VMs, right!? So what cross-OS issues?
- dkarapetyan 10y agoWhy use a VM when I can run things directly on the bare metal or in a docker container and not pay the virtualization overhead.
- lokedhs 10y agoI'm not the original posted, but for me it's security and convenience reasons, mostly. I use Qubes OS which presents a very nice UI that makes using multiple VM's very seamless.
- imauld 10y agoIMO it's kind of weird to buy a frankly absurdly expensive laptop that locks you into using it's OS to then go and setup a bunch of virtualization to make your code/dependencies work when you can just run the OS you are virtualizing. Why add layers of complexity when you can just run the OS you want?
