Apple MacBooks lately are being priced on par with the competition. You want premium screen and trackpad - you will have to pay just as much for a windows laptop.
- gilbetron 7y agoJust bought a Dell Precision, and out of curiosity, went through and specced one out to match an equivalent Macbook. The macbook was solidly 30%+ higher in price. They were pretty close about 3-4 years ago, but now they have gotten terrible. And that doesn't even consider the Dell has a better keyboard (and for me, a better trackpad). I used Macs for almost a decade, but I'm crazy happy with my Dell running Ubuntu 18.04. Amazing!
- muraiki 7y agoMy point is that a $1200 laptop with an unreliable keyboard isn't worth $1200 or even $1000. I'm not sure how to make that more clear.
- nkkollaw 7y agoNot if you consider the hardware: Apple hardware is a lot less powerful that the competition.
