The precision 5510 looks great, but: http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/dell-precision-5510.

> This workstation can get some serious work done, but its battery life of 5 hours and 34 minutes means you likely won't be taking it far from your desk.

The 13" rMBP gets 12 hours on the same test: http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/all-day-strong-longest-las....

I don't feel like I'm being unreasonably picky here. I've been using a laptop with a great display and 8-9 hours of actual battery life for the last two years. Everything on the market right now (including probably the new MBP) is a downgrade from that.



The only issue I have with the 5510 is they keyboard. Compared to my 2011 MBAir, this thing is really sub-par.

There is a lot of trackpad jitter as well - which is easy to disable when a mouse is plugged in, but still.

edit: the camera is also in a stupid place.

OS X vs. Windows?


Maybe. I think Apple sticking to 2.5K and 3K displays, instead of rushing to 4K has something to do with it.
