My LTE on my Latitude E7250 has worked flawlessly...16GB of ram and an i7-5600U (2C, 4T, 2.6/3.2ghz)
I am a horrible user. I severely mistreat my equipment. My laptop rides in a backpack full of tools, crimpers, patch cables, sand. It goes on my back when I climb towers, work on buildings, and work in the office. It gets left in my black SUV in the Florida sun where it gets to 130+ deg f.
I've opened and closed the screen at least 4000 times since I bought it 3 years ago. It's been dropped several times. Sat on. Stepped on. Kicked. Liquids spilled on, both opened and closed. I've left it on and put it in my backpack more times than I can imagine(I disable stand-by on close) to later find it had shut itself down due to overheat. But it survives.
My cat sits on my lap, half over the keyboard, so it gets full of cat hair routinely.
I bought accidental damage protection because I was sure I would destroy it before it reached the end of it's useful life.
Nothing has broken and I've never had to even call Dell. The finish is getting worn on the keyboard because I use it easily 12 hours a day. The chassis has nicks and scrapes all over it. I just opened it for the first time since buying it to install a 1TB SSD. I took the keyboard apart at the same time and de-furred it.
And it has LTE. I've yet to see a Macbook even give you the option for LTE.
My girlfriend's MBA is sitting in the closet going on a year now with a cracked screen that nobody knows how it happened. Just opened it one day and it was cracked.
Everything may be pretty and work great inside a walled garden, but I prefer choices and options -- the ability to get exactly what I want.
- crtasm 8y agoI opened my MBP after owning it for maybe a year and the touchpad suddenly had a crack right across it. Utterly baffling.
