It's not the mid-2012 13" non-retina model.

2015. It was brand new in the box but I bought it off some guy on craigslist. God a good deal on it.

According to my research, 2015 model is only good because of its connectivity or else 2016 model is literally the best.

Feels good having a machine that I can actually upgrade with a good enough display that doesn't suck the battery dry in 2 minutes. Macs are still glorified shitposting machines just like any other laptops though, and you're still a filthy webdev hipster piece of shit.

Why on Earth would you buy Macbook instead off Dell XPS?

You get far more powerful computer with far better look and build quality.

Yet you bought Mac.

>>59553478
Yo, legit non-troll question here mang:
Given the uni-body aluminum build of Apple etc etc yadda yadda, what does the XPS have that makes its build quality superior to that of the MBP?

I mean otherwise the XPS a gorgeous machine with serious grunt, but I had a MBP that was practically indestructible whilst I went through uni.

>>59553514
>t. mactoddler

>>59553514
The carbon fiber makes the machine light and sturdy as fuck and helps with heat. The aluminum of the outer parts is of good quality. It doesn't scratch or bend. The hinges in the monitor are extremely good. The keyboard while not good in my opinion is better than that of Macbooks. The Infinity Edge 4K screen is great, the touch screen of it is great and very precise even without scaling. The Gorilla Glass makes me feel safe in handling it in a way.

I love it myself and it is better than Macbooks I've played with.

>>59553576
OH and despite all of this, you can open up the XPS yourself without losing warranty and add/swap/change RAM and SSDs.

>>59553576
>>59553598
Oh wow nice, I hadn't realised that it was all carbon fibre for the body: I thought it was just the exterior texture. The edge screen is amazing.. and I didn't realise it was touch. Thanks for the info legend.

What is a good non-Apple laptop alternative?

>>59553697
Interiors is carbon fiber. The exterior is sturdy, quality aluminum.

The touchscreen of the Infinity screen is fucking great. I never knew how much I wanted this until the first night I used it while laying down on the sofa and reading a thread on 4chan lel.

It's a workhorse. I have the i7 2.9ghz one - you can throw anything at it. You can upgrade it with an SSD and 16GB RAM and you're set to do basically anything. The battery is replaceable as well.

Mine is working like a charm since 2012. It's literally one of the absolute best products by Apple.

make sure you icloud lock it to ensure the serial is associated to you (sign into icloud and make sure find my mac is enabled), and go into the recovery menu and make sure bios passcode is also enabled. also register the warranty under your icloud id (incase the previous owner didn't take advantage of that)
