Wife has that MacBook. We bought it last year when she started doing work from home. Screen can be a little small but she can go plug it into a nice monitor if she needs the space. Battery life is great. She rarely has it plugged in. I would go with that over the Dell.

Yeah it really just depends on what you're doing, if I'm stationary I'm at a desktop with dual monitors, when Im on the go I'm on the laptop, so there is no option to plug into a monitor for extra space. So, while 15.6 isn't ideal for me either it works wayy better for my purpose than a 13". I also use autohotkey to toggle various windows I would have tiled on my desktop. Just wanted to mention it so the OP, if they haven't already, considers the screen size.

I don't get this. You realize that laptops throttle down and run slower on battery right? That is why the battery last longer, because they are running slower.
