I have been wondering about this too. I'm pretty attached to my 2014 MBP (running macOS) but dislike the latest line of Macs (and want to have a linux laptop). I've been looking mostly at the new Dell XPS 13 range as they look really good. I just worry that the build quality will never match up to Apple's.

- annoyedmacuser 8y agoMade an account just to comment on this. The new keyboards are a nightmare. My keys on my 2016 Macbook Pro kept sticking and after a while started falling off. To fix it, they have to replace large parts of the machine, including the screen, so your machine is likely to be in the shop for the better part of a week. Once repaired, the problem will persist, because it's not like they're actually able to correct the design flaw by giving you a new keyboard. I've been a loyal Mac user for about 16 years - even used to run Yellow Dog Linux on my old PPC - but I've started migrating my family to the Dell XPS for their new laptops. From what I read, the new rubber components in the most recent laptops don't really fix the issue either. I'd stay away.
