A Dell XPS 13 with current i7, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD is £1500 at the moment. Can't argue with that.
EDIT: MBP of similar spec is £2k

To be honest, if it really is similar (or rather, pretty much the same_ spec I would be happy to pay a £500 premium for a better looking machine, but I suspect.. hold on, fact check... nope... similar spec Macbook is 2,399.00. Too much of a premium for me.

Most corp accounts get around a 10% discount on RRP, and anyone with a .ac.uk email is able to get the student discount of around 10-15%.
So that Dell, which btw is actually quite attractive, comes out around the £1,350 mark, and for corps you can then less the VAT.
It's a very good looking and solid bit of power user kit.

We are 95% Apple and a few nutjobs like me who are on Lenovo + Linux and were thinking of moving to Apple once the MacBook Pro was announced.
I suspect we will have a lot more Dell XPS 13" 16GB RAM 512GB SSDs in this office in the very near future. They are well loved by a few people that have them here, and everyone is impressed with them. Mac users are all grumbling about the new Pros, it feels like a change is in the air (just as I was finally ready to move to Apple).
