What if you add 16 GB of RAM and a SSD to your computer? Is that doable?
The new Macbook Air seems the perfect mobile Mac, I'm not sure how powerful the CPU is though, we probably need to wait for some users to review it. Let's talk numbers:
Macbook Air with that configuration is 1599$ (but it's an i5 and has a 13" screen)
Macbook Pro 13 is at least 1699$ but you get a faster CPU (2.3Ghz dual core i5 instead of 1.6Ghz dual core i5)
Macbook Pro 15 is at least 2399$ with 2.2Ghz 6 cores i7 and a dedicated graphics card
Dell XPS 15 is 1699$ with 6 cores i7 and 512 GB of SSD instead of 256
So, if you don't really care about the OS and you verify that Linux works on the XPS maybe that's a possible winner. I haven't checked the weights but I think the Dell weighs a little more than the other ones. I have no experience with LG laptops, I didn't even know they made laptops :D
Unfortunately I can't upgrade my RAM on the Macbook Air 😔
And yeah thanks for that breakdown, that's super helpful! It seems like the XPS would be the best bang for the buck, so I might go to a store just to see how it feels.
That Macbook Air looks super nice though... I wonder if they'll put in on sale for Black Friday? 🤔 That's probably just me being overly optimistic haha
Unfortunately I can't upgrade my RAM on the Macbook Air 😔
Yeah, I dread the day my 2012 Macbook Pro will sing its swan song
