(not rant)
Hey MBP users! Is there any laptops as performant as a MacBook Pro? I wanna buy a powerful personal machine (Windows or linux) but none of them could match a MBP. Any idea?

I also searched for a replacement for my MBP since I need to a Windows 10 machine and the Bootcamp/Parallels just wasn't up to it.

Dell XPS 15 seems to be suggested quite widely as MBP replacement. Since it wasn't currently available through our vendor, they suggested a Dell Precision 5520 instead. Should get it in couple of weeks.

I still hope that all the necessary tools were available for MacOS. I just have to keep myself so busy developing that I'll spend as little time as possible outside the Visual Studio 😂

Define performant.

Since when an i7 u variant with 16gb of RAM and an Intel iris called preformant?

@nocgod I had the same thought.

Nexoc.com you can decide how powerfull it is since you pick the parts.

@runfrodorun I use the computer to work, not to surf Facebook...
When I work it's 2-3 IDEs up, with watch on unittests, fiddler, chrome with a bunch of tabs... On a U CPU that is not really possible to work like that...

@runfrodorun dude... I run 4 vs running multiple services while debugging and running tests, with 2-3 instances of chrome open, fiddler, email, calendar, slack and some other stuff... The i7u-s cant handle the heat...
I work with a 4790k 16gb 500gb SSD that's enough... At home I have same setup with a gtx970 and my laptop is a 2670qm 16gb with 500gb SSD gtx555m.

Worked for a year at a company with home grade hardware (i7u 4 core 4 thread 3mb cache at least I had an ssd) - it was my worst year, shitty company, shitty hw, total suffering...

@runfrodorun I'm a backend/infra engineer in a company governing 1.5bil identities... Imagine the scale...

You can work on a home grade hw - can't imagine opening 4 solutions and watching the unit tests on them all... That would probably make my eyes bleed

@runfrodorun ram is a huge plus - currently I exhaust 70-85 % of my ram so I don't need to extend it much.

Watching unit tests means you compile dirty code and run the related tests live. Constant compile constant testing :)

The only Device that can match up to the levels of Mac is a Mac itself.

@aayusharyan In terms of build quality (at least my 2011 Mac) is the best laptop I've ever held and had the pleasure of using. They just feel absolutely solid. The keyboard is great, and the trackpad is phenomenal.
