Wait for WWDC. They're going to slash prices. I'm waiting for it too. Going to grab either a 13inch no touchbar or an updated Air.

Xps 13 maybe?

>>60546004
Yeah that was kinda what I thought, when's WWDC again?

It does look quite tasty but I think I'd rather get away from Windows for my portable machine.

If you don't mind having a processor that's a bit weaker, I'd recommend the 2015 mbp, the keyboard is much better.

June 5th. Apple prices change immediately if you buy directly from them.
Also if you're going for Windows get a Thinkpad t470 instead of the meme Dells and HPs.

Just pick up the 2015 model. Everything you wanted with better battery life, a reasonable port selection and without the truly horrific keyboard.

If the XPS13/15 ran OSX perfectly without some horrible issue I would do that instead.

Aight I guess I'll just wait for that then, thanks buddy.

Buy a used 2015 model or wait till WWDC for the new models to get announced
Apple knows no one likes the touch bar so they'll probably dump it in a year or two

I think the touch bar would be pretty good if they embedded the taptic engine underneath

Ya they're pretty good but I'd personally get a 15" laptop, 13" just seems too small for me, but if you like that then go for it I guess.

What I'd actually do is get something like a chromebook for $200-$300, then use the rest to build yourself a very respectable gaming pc that will run everything on high or ultra for the next 3-5 years depending on how much graphics really improve (we've kind of hit a wall where more improvements just send us spiraling into uncanny valley).

That way you can do all your laptop things on your laptop, but still have a capable machine if you want to do something a little more involved.

I had an XPS 13 for a while. The trackpad is horrible. If you click it in some specific ways, your cursor will freak out. There is a lag, for some reason, when you tap the trackpad. Even when you turn off tap to drag. Also there's Windows 10. Other than that, the XPS is great.

Now I have a totally base line 2016 MBP. I have no complaints so far. The battery life is pretty good. Oh, that's another thing. You can't put the XPS to sleep without it draining battery. You have to put it on "hibernate" when you close the lid, which takes just as long as turning it on from it being off. I looked it up and everybody says it's an SSD problem but the new MBP doesn't have that issue so I dunno what's up with that.

The new MBP does have a shitty keyboard, though. It's not awful, it's just that everything else about it is good except the keyboard. Go try it at a store or something.

If you're actually gonna buy one though check eBay out. I got one new for $1279. They're actually pretty cheap on there if you just watch ebay.

I would do that but I already built a gaming PC a few months back and I definitely don't need an upgrade heh.
