I'm in the same boat and will need to switch once my 2015 dies, but I really don't want to have to switch from MacOS. 90% of my work depends on the keyboard and I can't stand the response of the butterfly switches, it's like typing on a piece of glass.
Do I have to hackintosh may way back in?
- bavariancake 8y agoYes. Join us on the dark side. https://github.com/bavariancake/XPS9570-macOS https://github.com/bavariancake/XPS9570-macOS I still have my 2012 MBPr, but I’m really liking the keyboard on the XPS 15.
- ordinaryradical 8y agoIs it futz intensive? How far away from "it just works" are you?
- bavariancake 8y agoInitially there was a lot of futzing, because the hardware just came out (UHD 630 Intel graphics). Some things like Nvidia graphics and SD card reader won’t work because of missing drivers, and are unlikely to work in the future. That said, I use this setup every day and mostly forget it’s not a Mac. I was quite frustrated by the new Touch Bar Macs issued by my work (unpleasant keyboard, no real F keys, USB C only, flimsy back case that has dents in it from regular commuting use somehow), so I didn’t see that as a viable upgrade path for me since I like to keep my computers for 5+ years. That’s probably not very convincing, but for me it was the right choice. For what’s its worth, I intend to support the XPS 9570 as a Hackintosh platform until at least 2023.
