You can write code on literally any machine, so it being a "gaming" laptop shouldn't be a problem, you just get a better graphics card if you want to play games on it. Overall is all about what you like the most, the Dell has a more recent CPU and bigger HDD, but it's definitely a thicker laptop that will never have macbook tier battery life, while the Macbook has a smaller 256gb SSD, so you might need an external HDD if you need many VMs or need to take around many files, but you still get great battery life and some of the best laptop screens and trackpads in the market.
Exactly, Dell is offering me more at less price. But on the other hand, it's MacBook Pro, I have never heard any bad review about that device even after years of usage.
Macbook Pro has always been a great device to hangout with.. A whole power packed machine.. But in recent years, especially after 2016 apple has tried to put style statement before usage, the thing is just for the new minimalistic unibody designs which looks great of course makes the laptops thinner and more premium looking, but they killed the whole user work experience with butterfly keys..that are just worst to type on and even after all these years in 2019 they're still stuck to it, the newer models of pro 15' are having thermal throttling issues with 9th gen powerful processors with hexa and octa cores, and that's all coz of the old 2016 chassis which still hasn't been changed or modified in a bit, probably by the end of year apple might release their new line up.. So just hoping for the best.. But if you are really ready to spend for a macbook Pro.. As an Windows alternative I'd suggest thinkpad x1 carbon.. You can go with highest specs.. The best part is its lighter than macbook Pro and its the best business machine you could get in market.. Moreover it has the best typing experience.. Especially when you're in development you need a laptop which feels good to type on and it's the best in class.. Looking at specs it has superfast ssd, if you need more ram you can upgrade at the time of purchase, they have latest processors, and you can opt for high end 4k display variant if needed.. And if you're not looking to spend much any older thinkpad model which is upgradeable would do.. They all have great value for money and best keyboards
