@Anthonyh ” I have a Dell XPS15 that was a full grand cheaper than the equivalent MacBook Pro“

The equivalent hardware-spec XPS15 is £1,699. Put Office on it to match Apple’s bundled productivity suite and that rises to £2,048, but that’s a choice - much like do you want an OS that’s free because you’re the product, one that doesn’t play well with others, or one that you pay for in the purchase price. More concerning on the Dell are the reports of thermal throttling, quality issues and a screen that hammers the battery - although we’ll have to wait and see what the verdict is on the MBP in this regard before passing judgement - it might be just as bad.
