Buy a thinkpad. Dell’s build quality and support are atrocious compared to Lenovo.

Lenovo doesn’t hold a candle to Apple still but Dell is still bottom barrel. Have you ever tried calling Dell to get something fixed? Good luck!

Thinkpads are tanks and with Lenovo they either fix a hardware issue by having you send it to them or you can request a customer replaceable part and fix it yourself.

The problem is Lenovo machines look and feel like PCs, and that's not a complement. I got the XPS specifically for the trackpad, its the only one around that I know of that handles any way remotely like a MacBook's.

In fairness, most people just ignored the latitude line from dell and just focus on the xps line. I wouldn't trade my latitude 7390 for an xps 13, honestly.
