The only competing option to the 15" is the XPS 15, and it looks like (judging by the non-touchbar) Apple is going to stomp Dell in battery life in the high res configuration.

The battery life is "good enough" for both of them... besides developers do not necessarily require fantastic battery life.

When I buy a laptop I don't just care about the battery life it has now - but also about the one three years later. Actually, these days I'll probably keep a laptop for five years, the desktop even longer, since there just is no compelling reason to buy something new sooner. So I want the battery to be good for me even when it's only half the initial capacity.
