You're getting ripped off around twice as hard as a MacBook Pro buyer.
>>59968594
How is this a problem?
>>59968692
Can you find a MBP with comparable/better specs for cheaper?
>>59968726
Silly Dell representative. The MacBook has no competition. It runs an entirely different operating system and operates inside a very strong Apple ecosystem of widely used and established products. You think some Dell Windows machine is competition for this?
Compare Apples to Apples. Don't compare Macs to Windows machines. In my opinon, for the Windows side its ThinkPad or fuck off. This Dell shit is 'Reddit: The laptop' for edgy hipsters at The Verge to write about because Macs are too mainstream now.

It actually keeps itself pretty cool. The fans do a good job of you're pushing it hard. Hands never got hot.

In europe MBP is starting at 2000 euro for 13" screen. A total ripoff.

Instead you'll buy 3 Dell's in that time because they're (((cheap))).
Microsoft owns you.

Yes, I'm not going to use the same piece of crap for 5 years straight.
Enjoy your MBP soldered edition with enhanced connectivity and battery.
>>59971340
>MBP soldered edition with "enhanced" connectivity
No thanks
The flaw is spending 1,349.99 on mediocre hardware
Build a desktop if youre looking for performance. Anyone that spends that much on a laptop is a complete fool.
>>59968583
What will i need to install sierraOS in this n will it be worth it?
Wtf is with all this Thinkpad shit on /g/? Is this just a bad meme? They're so hideous. Someone explain this to me please

Well thats where youm are wrong there is a configuration that comes without a dGpu. Get your facts straight before shit posting cuck.
>Find a flaw.
Huge bottom bezel.
>>59970904
Doesn't the fact its running on ssd keep the temp balance, i dont think the temp well eber get too high unless ur gaming or bitcoin minning in which case grow up
>>59971385
It has a 97Wh battery so over 6-7 hours at least under load.

Check out Lenovo y700 series. I got one with identical specs to op except worse gpu. It's more than enough for me to play some csgo with, which is all i use my graphics card for.
I got it for $920 cad, which is about 60% of what OP has, and most people (even fag/g/ots) wouldn't bc able to tell the difference
>>59968583
its fucking expensive for this hardware you fag
>>59968583
if it was 14", dropped the dGPU, and integrated the thinkpad keyboard I would be interested

ThinkPad X1 Carbon. The only thing you'll lose is user accessible RAM (along with what you mentioned).
The fact that I can buy last year's model with double the ram, 1TB SSD, and an i7 for $100 dollars more

sub-$150 upgradeable and moddable laptops from 2011 that can still keep up with the glued/soldered together crap sold brand new today
>>59974276
Do it. I got a last-gen used Skylake Precision 5510 for like 1,200 dollars, when brand new that model would have gone for over 2,400 dollars.
It's worth it.
I have this
>Upgradable RAM considering this is an "ultrabook"
>Real mouse buttons

I just can't upgrade the CPU, but any Skylake laptop can't do this either.
Does it have gsync?
>>59972077

Is this a /g/ humour thread?
With thunderbolt 3 you don't need dedicated GPU's anymore
Instead of paying the premium for a good integrated GPU, a Dock with a medium end GPU will perform much faster, have no throttling issues
and when you're not gaming you don't have to carry around a heavier laptop
