You realize there are multiple XPS laptop models, right? Not to mention you are overexaggerating the alleged negative aspects quite a lot . Are you really that addicted to the Apple kool-aid? Go look at some of the Asus models than if you think an XPS can't compete. Weighed less than a macbook air, more port including ethernet (via a HDMI port), something like 21 hours of battery life, weight was slightly under a pound IIRC. There's plenty of other models/companies. The biggest benefit? It's not Apple locking you into their ridiculous ecosystem. But I suspect you're fine with that. Pretty funny in another comment you talk about governments restricting geeks, yet you advocated for the most locked down nannyed device you can hand over money to buy.

So, now you’re going to find the Asus or Dell that has - 16 hours battery life - fanless - doesn’t scorch my nuts - performance? - a decent display - and doesn’t weigh a ton? So please tell me how the Mac keeps you from running the software you want. But you named how great the objectively shitty Dell is. You’ve already struck out with the Dell, care to try again with Asus? Can you cite a review of an Asus that compares? Even though the Dell sucks in every dimension, at least you have “freeduhm”

  Yeah. I already told you there was an Asus that meets that criteria and has longer battery life. Again, it's ridiculous to think Apple makes the very best lightweight powerful laptop given how diverse the PC market is. You're really durnk on that Apple kool-aid huh. I didn't strike out with Dell at all. You found one review of one model and then exaggerated it. You're the exact type of person that required coining the concept of an apple reality distortion field.

    So somewhere there is an Asus, yet you can’t name it, can’t find a review of it and I’m suppose to just believe you based on your recommendation of a shitty Dell?

      Again, the Dell wasn't shitty. You went out of your way to overexaggerate any flaws it may have had lol. I didn't even really check out your review because I've done my research in the past and know they have models that compete with macbooks. I told you it was an Asus B series, don't remember the exact model, but go visit their page. They advertise the fact it has more battery life and is lighter, it isn't hard to find. The problem here is you're addicted to the Apple kool-aid and will bend over backwards to deny any non Apple product could be superior.

        So you didn’t read the review because “you did your own research”. Yet you can’t seem to find the magical XPS 13 and cite a review? Did your “research” tell you that by every objective measure it’s worse? The resolution is four times worse, the battery is three times worse, it’s loud, it’s slow. Here is the review of the Asus B series. The newest one I could find. The contemporary MacBook Air at the time which was better in every way came out in late 2020 and was cheaper. Again from the Verge and it’s the nearest one I could find.. https://www.theverge.com/22239215/asus-expertbook-b9450-review-design-specs-price-features https://www.theverge.com/22239215/asus-expertbook-b9450-revi... Just make sure you know what you’re getting — because the low-powered processor and deafening fans certainly aren’t ideal for everyone. but potential buyers should be aware that the processor is mostly suitable for basic office tasks. More on that in a bit. And it’s even worse than the Dell XPS 13 that you were bragging about. The Core i7-10510U is a four-core processor that’s significantly lower-powered than the chips you’ll see in the best laptops on the market like the Dell XPS 13. It’s far from a workhorse. So it’s slower, hotter, louder, with worse graphics and lower battery life.

        I skimmed the review, it didn't match up with the models I had seen before, and seeing you basically flat out lie to overexaggerate some of the negative aspects made it easy to basically dismiss it and your reply. I'm not putting any more effort into replying to you, other than typing in the reply box. Your point is asinine IMO, and I'm not interested in doing research to support what I already know, to someone who would bend over backwards to deny anything presented to them. And that's the thing. You're going to believe whatever you want to believe, because Apple is the entity you worship religiously.
