everybody with a poo poo keyboard that sticks and is garbage should take it back under Applecare, make them replace that poo poo and eat the cost of their bad gaddam choices

without applecare it's a $500 repair

I would, but it’s so thinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

what everybody wanted: retina version of the 13" macbook air, the best laptop ever made
what apple gave them: smaller screen with max effective resolution no better than 13" air, one port, worse keyboard, worse processor

that's the min spec, but the housing isn't plastic and the trackpad is better than any tragic mac pad. get the 4k one w/ the i7. if you need more power get the xps15.

if you look at the dell business laptops, that's the highest spec sku they show for the "new xps13", if you go to personal use laptops you can find the 4k/16GB/1TB model, because dell loving sucks at internet

its on the business one, you just have to click the next page button cause dell sucks at internet. why they don't just have a single model that you customize everything on is beyond me.
