How is the build of the XPS15 compared to a MBP? One thing I've always appreciated about Apple is their aluminum and absolutely solid builds. Their exterior builds is one of the reasons I buy their products. I know the new keyboard has issues for a lot of people but it has not been a problem for me and I enjoy typing on it.
- willtim 8y agoA aluminium body adds significant weight when compared to composite materials; it can also attenuate radio and be prone to warping. IMHO, it is not an obvious choice for a laptop casing. The X1 Carbon is significantly lighter than a MacBook Pro, despite having a better (deeper) keyboard and a removeable battery.
- linguae 8y agoI have a 2013 MacBook Air (that's no longer working) and a Dell XPS 15 9570. I also used to use a 2015 MacBook Pro during my previous job. The Dell XPS 15 9570's build quality is quite wonderful and quite Apple-esque. The only complaint I have about this laptop after two weeks of use is sometimes I need to use extra force on the space bar in order to register a keypress (I don't know if this is normal or if I need to have Dell explore this issue), but other than that I enjoy using this laptop.
