poty posted:i feel the same way about laptops op i dont use mine much to compute outside the apartment. The i7 21" is like 90% of what I'm looking for, but (once you add even a basic amount of RAM and a semi-decent bideo card) it's more expensive, still is (slightly) less capable, and there's no warranty (AppleCare is not a loving warranty) versus the upcoming Dell XPS 15 which is also portable. I literally can't justify an Apple no matter what I try.

new xps 15s are next month (hopefully). if you don't need a gpu get a xps 13 which was recently refreshed. if you need a gpu either wait for the xps15 which has a 1650 or wait for new dell gaming laptops (also due in june) if u need something more

SRQ posted:wait why is applecare not a warranty I guess I'm comparing it to Dell ProPlus. If I'm carrying a ProPlus'ed Dell and trip and go rear end-over-teakettle down a flight of stairs the next day a guy is out at my location fixing whatever got busted at no out-of-pocket to me. This is available for 4 or 5 years (depending on the model). AppleCare is really more of a "subsidized repair" plan?

that playdate thing looks dumb af I think that a modernized gameboy like platform could be really cool for indie developers - hardware constraints can lead to some really creative stuff but no, let's build a loving crank into each device. not more face buttons. a loving crank. that's what consumers and developers really want
