Top 4 (couldn't think of 5)
I'm needing a new laptop soon, been considering either a Dell XPS 15 or a Microsoft surface laptop. Almost settled on the dell, but the quality of the Microsoft hardware intrigues me.
The quality was one of the major reasons I choose this laptop. I think that in some laptops Dell and other brands have come close to getting that feeling, but comparatively they just feel a little cheaper on the average. I looked at MacBook's for a while for this reason too, they got some good hardware too but really depends on what you'll be doing with it. I don't see myself programming on a MacBook the way that I want to.
Yeah I'll be starting either computer science or software engineer BS from WGU in a few months. I've also looked at getting a MacBook, I just really think Macintosh will limit me, I also can't stand the apple ecosystem. The dell XPS is a bit cheaper than the Microsoft surface, but definitely seeing lots of people living their devices with Microsoft, and Dell seems to always have quality control problems.
A while ago I thought the same thing about Apple and then I realized that it's just really easy comparatively. But yeah I'm doing something similar going into computer science. Depends on what surface you get, I got a refurbished Surface Book 3 on Amazon which is always a gamble but it was significantly cheaper, mine looked and felt completely new when I got it. Been holding up well so far.
