I can defend their "chassis" as being ahead of the competition and you basically paying for the time they spent shaving shit off until it's perfect. But that damn touch bar. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the most custom of custom random hardware part, adding like half a smartphone's production cost to it. How much productivity can that thing possibly add? Who on earth says, "yea that touch bar, certainly worth more than 1TB of SSD space and 16GB of RAM!".
- hu3 6y agoI can't defend their chassis. Competition offers 14" machines in 13" form-factor with thin bezels for almost a decade now.
- solarkraft 6y agoWhat decade old laptop would you compare to a Macbook in design? I have only started noticing attractive competitor laptops appearing around 2014.
- hu3 6y agoI'm talking about form-factor specifically. Not "design" which is subjective. XPS 13 has had thin bezel for a long time now. Sporting smaller chassis than macs on same screen size.
