anyone else here thinking dell designs are kinda boring? I bought macbook to run win10 because it had great design. I am thinking of buying surface book next.

Why can't Dell focus on a creative design?



I personally think my coworkers XPS 13 is far, far cooler looking and thoughtfully designed than my MBPr. It has soft spots where you'd carry it. I think they're gorgeous. The only thing tying me to OSX at this point is 1passwords chrome plugin (doesn't work without hackery in Linux) but now that that's going web based I may be able to switch next year.

Also the crazy resolutions aren't really a selling point to me at all. I can barely read the text when those things are cranked up.

They are not supposed to be "cranked up". You're supposed to use hi-dpi to smooth everything, not to get more screen estate. Apple has been doing it correctly for almost 5 years now, one would hope Windows and Linux had caught up by now.


Out of curiosity, what makes a design interesting for you?

To me a laptop is two rectangular bits, with a screen on one and a keyboard on another. My macbook has silver rectangular bits, that Dell has black rectangular bits. I don't really see any other significant difference between the two..


simply the design make it look like oozes class.

(im getting downvoted soon, but i can take it :) )
