Think of the 13 and 15 like the Fujifilm XT100 and a Nikon D4. I needed something I wouldn't think twice about carrying in my bag, and something that wasn't so conspicuous in public.
The bigger 15inch models were more suited to my workload - esp with the GPU for GPGPU coding - but sadly I was never going to carry it around.
I had kept away from Apple due to it's extremely proprietary image and practises.Īfter getting too old to deal with graphics drivers, terrible fonts, devices that didn't work, poor power management from Linux, carrying around a power cable and a mouse (because the PC laptops had terrible trackpads). The Dell laptop, however, like most laptops then and now, was too proprietary for Linux and didn't run things like graphics and power management successfully. Inevitably I used Linux on the PCs as Windows just was not the easy or reliable option for coding, technical writing or learning about tech. My first laptop was a Dell 8600, after having owned some desktop PCs. I've never been a fan of Windows since the 1990s (yes I'm that old).
