Price

Connectors

The ability to upgrade
To upgrade hardware in Apple devices is not so simple. In the new model MacBook Pro CPU, RAM and SSD soldered to the motherboard, making upgrades almost impossible.
Touch screen
Laptop Dell XPS 15 equipped with a touch screen with multitouch support. The MacBook Pro only has a small touchpad above the keyboard.
According to Ortiz, he was accustomed to use the touch screen on your Surface Pro 3 and can’t imagine a laptop without it.
Graphics

According to the photographer, the MacBook Pro become so expensive, that he just can’t decide on a purchase. But for users with broader financial possibilities and desire to stay in the Apple ecosystem, the MacBook Pro last generation will be a great choice.
