Pretty awful article IMO. He's got the wrong parts listed for the 15", and he's comparing a $1500 13" MBP to a $2500 Surface Book. The comparisons to Dell also only make sense from a raw horsepower perspective, which apple has never competed on. Build quality there's no comparison, and Apple's I/O is still leaps and bounds ahead of the other machines anyway.

Edit: talking about the first article. The second is the same article that gets published every year for MacBooks, iPhones, iPads and dishwashers. Basically saying don't upgrade unless your computer is a couple years old.

No disputing build-quality and the superiority of macOS.
But it is interesting to see how others view Apple products.
