The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

[Jake]

why not another apple? played with the macbook pro at micro center, being inside that store is an experience in itself. New macbook pro was within like $200 of the xps 15 I was getting there, pretty similar specs.

Was surprised they were so close in price but I got the XPS anyway.

Some of the software that I use for data acquisition (namely: AIM software) is Windows-only. I'd also like to set this up with INPA or PA-Soft for diagnostics on my needy German girls. No sense paying for a 13" MacBook Pro when I'd run Windows on it half the time anyway. Beyond all of the car software, the laptop is a really pretty Facebook and Reddit machine, soooo...

The Yoga was cheap for what it is, and has a lot of nice specs/features. Couldn't justify paying double for a MBP with similar RAM and HDD space. I took the first one back to Best Buy after work today and they exchanged it, no hassle/questions. The replacement is perfect so I think I just got a dud at random.

Tablet/stand modes are neat so far (stand mode is great on the couch), the fingerprint reader and Windows Hello login are super fast, and I'm digging the 1920x1080 screen.
