I'm looking for a replacement, too. Had Macbook Pro 2015 and 2018.
I plan to settle on Windows 10 Pro + Ubuntu WSL. I don't need top specs (i5 and 16GB RAM are enough for me), but build quality (touchpad, screen, robustness) and weight are most important.
Playing with Surface Pro 6 in shop I kinda like it, but I can't find XPS or X1 to lay my hands on.
How is the build quality between Surface Pro, XPS and X1? Which one has the best touchpad, screen?
- EugeneOZ 7y agoDell XPS 15 (2019) has good keyboard - better than Surface Pro, worse than Lenovo. Very good touchpad - worse than Macbook, better than any other manufacturer. Materials are nice to touch, design is very good looking (comparable to MBP). Screen has very modest viewing angle, but if you don't move your head too much, colors are vibrant and image quality is great.
- mkl 7y agoMaybe look at Surface Book too? Bigger screen, discrete graphics option, two batteries, bigger touchpad. I have one for work. Not sure what the Surface Pro 6 is like physically, but Surface Book 2 beats Surface Pro 4 at almost everything.
