Agreed, but the event isn't over yet I think.

I've been looking for over a year for a good (build quality) laptop which can run a unix-like environment. And I always end up circling back to macbooks, which have been comprised of very old hardware for quite some time now.

Hard to justify spending so much money for a 3/4 year old CPU.

The alternative is to have a machine that requires more maintenance than my 5/6 year old thinkpad running OpenBSD.

From MacRumors live stream:

11:59 am For those joining in late, there have been no announcements about the MacBook Pro or other Macs as expected.

did you check the latest Dell XPS Developer Edition ? They are pretty high quality and come with Ubuntu preinstalled.

Do you have one? What's your experience with it?

I got a regular Dell XPS 15 (but the keyboard and everything else I think is the same) and while the laptop looks great I was expecting better quality for this price range.
