I understand some people do need all these ports, but in my experience (and opinion) an XPS is worse in every other metric.
The trackpad is terrible, the sound is terrible, the screen is worse, the webcam is not as good. I cannot use windows so I have to use Linux, which brings a good bunch of its problems such as external screen with different resolutions, having to setup scaling for many applications individually, and always being the last guy to join meetings because every day I have a different problems switching to my usb headset, etc. I ended up going back to a macbook pro. The XPS hardware might look as good in the specs, but it won't last for more than 2 years, it crackles everywhere and the paint (in the trackpad, for example) wears off pretty easily if you use it every day.
So, yes, I'd love macbooks to have more ports, but by no metric that problem alone would lead me to prefer it over an XPS.
Just my preference/experience anyway.
- nightowl_games 6y agoI have XPS's and MacBooks in my house. For the record, none of the XPS's have HDMI or USBA. They have for several years. That's a shame. But in addition, none of the other things you mentioned are worse on the XPS. I bought one cause I prefer Linux, my wife got one because it was 1k$ cheaper than the comparable MacBook. She's a designer and the screen is 100% Adobe RGB coverage. The XPS and MacBook, from a hardware perspective, are basically equivalent. Its a shame they both took the ports out.
