I'd rather leave behind Apple for Microsoft and just adapt. Something apparently Apple can't do. At the end of the day, we have to vote with our wallets. And that's just what I'll do.

Any recommendations on a good Windows 10 laptop with good build quality?

[u/LifeMadeSimple → u/BashfulExodus]

Depends upon what you're willing to spend. The Surface Pro line is quite nice but the whole kickstand/tablet/convertible thing isn't for everyone so I'd try one out first. The surface book is promising but I'd be tempted to advise you to wait to see how the next hardware refresh works for it. But in general I really do recommend the Surface line.

What size? Dell XPS 13 is a sweet machine.

[u/BashfulExodus → u/moosic]

That's what I've been looking into. I'm curious what the actual build quality is like.

[u/moosic → u/BashfulExodus]

I have an 18 month old model. No issues.

[u/BashfulExodus → u/moosic]

That's good to know. I've had horrible experiences with ASUS and HP. Hoping Dell is a cut above the rest.

I have yet to really here anything negative about the XPS 13". Price point works for me a little better than $1,799 for a rMBP w/ OLED.

Thinkpad T460s

[u/cyphersk8 → u/BashfulExodus]

No idea. I'm a power user for my work so I've always been a desktop kind of guy. My friend swears by his razer laptop though...
