Sure but in terms of build quality does any laptop compare with a MacBook?

Real question: Do you truly think the XPS is comparable to the Framework? I’ve no experience with the Framework so genuinely curious. OP seems less than impressed?

They're in the same price tier and both target software devs. With the XPS you're paying about the same price for a far better display and trackpad. With the framework, you might save some money on memory and storage and get decent repairability.

And yes, I'd say an XPS compares in build quality to a MacBook Air, and has so many benefits over a Mac that it's not worth listing.

I don't know about the Air but I've used both and it is certainly not a match for MacBook Pro.

> has so many benefits over a Mac

Curious, such as what? I'm not invested in the Apple ecosystem at all, but I think MacBook (Pro) is the best developer laptop available.

Thanks for the comparison.

The Razor laptops are really sturdy and the touchpad is very close to how a mac one feels.

I was curious about those. What's the Linux situation on them?

There’s a special version released in conjunction with Lambda labs that comes with Ubuntu - called the Tensorbook. High prices though
