Posts like this make me anxious to step out of the MacBook Pro bubble even though I want to. Aside from the butterfly keyboard saga those devices have generally been built very well, whereas I read nothing but complaints about the Dell XPS / Lenovo T4XX / HP Spectre du jour. Ranges from flimsy build quality to poor screens to coil whine to rapidly degrading batteries.

In terms of build quality, Dell's Latitude business notebooks have been great for a very long time. I have one from 6-7 years ago that's still running strong.
I've also been really happy with my Razer Blade which I've used alongside a Macbook Pro for the last ~3 years.

I can’t say enough good things about dell latitude. It’s to the point that they are all I use. You can get a great laptop for ~400 on eBay and when stuff breaks or wears out you can actually fix it yourself using spare parts that are easy to find
