| What exactly are you going to put into the laptop? Newer processors use less energy, not more. Hard drives are all pretty standard with the exception of RPM, and I am not 100%, but I do not think you can get over 7200RPM on a 2.5" Drive. I don't know of anyone who updates their graphics card in a laptop, so all that leaves to upgrade is RAM. Upgrade ability is not a concern for the vast majority of people on laptops.
I am not saying that one should definitly buy a Dell as there are other companies that make fine computers, but when comparing a Dell XPS to a Macbook, the only reason to choose the Macbook is either:
A) Money is not an option for you
B) You want to use OSX.
Buying a MacBook over a Dell to simply run Windows is a WASTE of money. |
