Dell because it's not an Apple product

Not sure if you're stuck on these. My wife has a surface laptop and it's pretty awesome.

Get the one that runs the applications you use.

I'd go with a 15.6" over a 13". Maybe personal preference, 13" sounds like a good idea at first, but for me it's hard working on that small of a screen, it gets crowded fast.

If you plan on using excel on this a lot I’d get the dell. If not I’d get mac. Hate excel on Mac. Other than that I’m pro Apple. My 13in 2012 MBP still going strong.

Only reason I’d buy a windows machine at this point would be gaming. But I also don’t really have the need for a laptop. I mostly just use my phone for normal browsing. Once the MacBook Pro dies I’ll probably be done with laptops

What are you using it for?

I have a dell xps laptop and a MacBook Air.

Apple’s build quality is far superior.

You’re going to get a lot of fan boy responses from both sides.

I’ve run both... apple and windows. Honestly, over the long run, there isn’t much difference. Kind of like a good NY Strip vs a good Rib-eye.

My personal choice lately is a Lenovo x1 carbon with the i7 processor. It’s light, fast, stable, and runs forever on the battery. Everything I need.

All other arguments for/against is just fan boy gibberish.

Go with what you know... this isn’t a life altering decision. You’ll most likely replace it before you truly *need* to replace it anyway.

I just got my M1 macbook air today and holy shite, its insanely powerful. I have like 20 chrome tabs open, excel models, powerpoints, and its not even breaking a sweat for an ultrabook that cost 1k

Oh and you could use it all day and not need to plug in till you go to bed. The battery life is crazy.

The hype is real.
