Convince me not to sell my rMBP and buy one of these (with QHD panel).

>>57757006
No

>>57757006
no go make your decisions by yourself

>>57757006
Awful build quality
Coil whine
Shit touchpad
Shit keyboard
Autobrightness can't be disabled
Nosecam
Touchscreen drains battery for no benefit

Girls won't like you anymore

>>57757006
I can't really say anything too bad except the touchscreen. The build quality is fine and its keyboard is fine. It's not a bad laptop. I would accept it over a lot of alternatives.

Picked one up on a amazon lightning deal yesrerday. Just got it today going to open it up after I'm done with my evening shit.

I got the 256gb with 8gb ram with the i5 7200u for $1220 total, taxes included.

Don't

Macbooks are genuinely good computers lad, best laptops around if you can afford them

Can you hackintosh it, or are you comfortable with GNU/Linux? As long as you won't be using Windows, it's a good decision.

Yep, had to returnert mine because it made so much noise. Super happy with my MBP.

>>57759473
Whatever you do, don't put your ear close to the keyboard while it's running.

>Buying a laptop with more than 1 port
>2016

Why do you hate yourself anon?

>>57760399
Please explain why having more than one port would ever be a burden. It's not like it's making the device uncomfortably large. Only the opposite - not having enough ports - could be an issue for someone. Most likely for people who don't just stare at Facebook all day.

Apply yourself senpai. These are important things to professionals and businesses, far more important than a little extra compatibility that can be solved with any number of different wireless or adaptor solutions.

XPS 13 beats the shit out of the rMBP by a mile.
21 hours battery life
3K display
Kaby Lake has much faster graphics than the latest MBP with only Skylake in it.
No nonsense gimmicks, only useful features that help, not hinder productivity
Costs less than 1/3 the price of a new MBP

You are literally retarded if you choose any laptop over the XPS 13.

>>57757006
I can't.

>>57760342
Why is that? Not the poster your replying to here.

>>57760778
>>Pushes up costs of the device
If you need or want the ports, you would be paying for them anyway by getting adapters.
>>Bloats the system with superfluous drivers
Then install a system that doesn't shit itself all the time
>>Ruins the aesthetics of a device
Way less than ugly adapters
>>Higher number of failure points
If you really assume that ports will break, you will be in more trouble once your only port breaks.
>>Removal of ports allows for a more ergonomic form factor
Removal of screen bezels help even more, the whole device is smaller.
>>Lower number of ports increases the strength of the exterior
The soft aluminum unibody cannot take hits anyway, more ports wouldn't ruin it.
>>Fewer avenues for water/particulates to entry and ruin the device
If you allow these particles to ruin your device it would be ruined more thoroughly if you only had one port for everything.

>These are important things to professionals and businesses
Aesthetics are not business critical. Ergonomic design would be but the extra ports are not doing anything to ruin that anyway. Businesses should also consider the risks that you get for relying on one port for everything.

I've heard of the coil whine. First thing I did was update the bios and all the drivers. Luckily I can return it for a full refund until Jan 31 2017.

lol I just installed software straight from Dell that disables the auto brightness in the xps 13. Just checked the settings, no more auto brightness.
