I don't see how it's superior. For that money you can buy Dell XPS or Thinkpad of same quality or better.

So far I didn't see any evidence of that. That may be true in 2011-2012 where not many laptops had hires screens with decent matrices, but definitely not relevant today.
- Lio 6y agoI have a 2014 MacBook Pro and a Dell XPS 13 9370 Developer Edition. I like both very much. I'm not sure I would say that the XPS is equal or better quality than the MBP though. The trackpad isn't better than the Mac's and neither is the case construction. I prefer the aluminium unibody to the carbon fibre (rubberised plastic) stuck to aluminium plates of the XPS. I really like the XPS though and would buy another if it broke. i.e. I wouldn't buy a Mac to run Linux but when Apple finally stop supporting my MBP I see no reason not to install Linux on it and extend its life. Especially as I like Linux as a desktop OS.
