What apple has for sale, newest, more ram/ssd and that's it.

It sounds obtuse, but, I enjoy selling my macbooks at 60-75% of purchase price 3-4 years later, and if needbe, applecare - which itself, is outrageous but it's nice.

Alternative would be Surface, but for the money, eh.

XPS 13 too, they're great but there have been some defects but for me they're perfect.




Apple has a different kind of customer in mind the last few years, I don't find what the do to their products in any way interesting anymore. Now that they have changed to not having ridiculous amount of interconnect and so sped up things considerably I did walk in to take a look.

But the finicky keyboards and glossy displays turned me off of them again.

I've looked at the latest crop of Surface, they are very nice. But way underpowered for the price.

XPS 14 would be interesting to me, provided it actually meets me where I want it, and not the usual "in the middle" as it goes with Dell products.


Only problem I've had with a Dell XPS13 9370 is with the Killer brand WiFi failing to wake up from sleep.

Unfortunately its soldered in so can't be replaced.

I only use Linux but I'm told it affects Windows users too.
