Great prices for these quality MacBooks.
Deal ends at 5pm tomorrow (1st October) so get in quick!
From my previous 13" deal, postage has been quicker than estimated for some lucky Ozbargainers :)
Don't forget Cashback from your favourite provider :)
Does your Dell XPS13 with a Kaby Lake processor run on macOS?
Does your Dell XPS13 with a Kaby Lake processor carry the brand image of a Mac?
Does your Dell XPS13 with a Kaby Lake processor have the same level of after sales support as Apple?
Apples and oranges.
Stop embarrassing yourself
more hardware and software is windows compatible. but yes mac os can be installed on a dell laptop - the underlying hardware is all x86 compatible.
dell after sales support is much better than apple. as dell has no physical stores, they send a technician to your location next day
and in my experience apple hardware is poorly constructed (though very well designed) and has problems after a few years of use
There is no legal way to install mac on any device that does not come preinstalled with it. But they are comparable because both devices are light and portable and both devices are used for pretty much same purpose(for most of the people out there).
I heard that Apple is refreshing MacBook lineup and probably new design will be better than current one. Maybe wait for apple announcement before getting a new laptop.
Windows users lost their sense of what is legal decades ago. The only reason I don't install illegal stuff (not including hackintosh) is because of viruses.
@niner: I am myself a windows user. About 90% laptop and desktops are running windows OS including many macbooks. And viruses are not an issue if you are using supported windows with automatic defender updates on(they are on by default). So if you have at least a legal OS, you are fine. In case of laptop OS are preinstalled and should be no problem.
Thanks for posting! Any deals on the 13"
All out of stock from the previous deal unfortunately :(
Oh bummer. I don't know how I missed that but I did. Thanks anyway!
I'm sure there will be more Macbook sales this year :)
APple is releasing their futuristic dual screen macbook in 1 month time.
The second screen looks to be a monochrome touch strip to replace the function keys. The LG V10 had a small second screen - was more of a proper dual screen.
I think the 1 month rumor is looking pretty accurate, even if just for the release and a shipping date confirmation.
A bit too futuristic if the many leaks so far turn out to be true- that is if it only has 4 USB-C ports and a touch panel working as function keys (unnecessary gimmick- ThinkPad Carbon 1st gen tried it and they failed). Apple even recently had a poll on how often Mac users used the 3.5 mm headphone jack in the MacBook Pro Retina- I am guessing indicating their intentions to scrap that port too so that they can sell their adapters and "lightning" port/ wireless headhones at very reasonable prices. However I will wait next few weeks for their announcement to pass a final judgement as it's Q4 already.
But I digress, the rumours also indicate that the MacBook Air is likely to be discontinued by Apple as there has been no info at all on possibly a new MacBook Air, and the existing models haven't been updated since 2015. The MacBook might take over the MacBook Air lineup.
Bottom line: Might be worth the wait for huge clearance sales on current gen Mac laptops after the refresh starts hitting the market as that is likely to happen within the next few weeks.
I only buy macbooks for the young ladies in my family.
Everyone else seems to be fine with Dell Latitudes from the Dell outlet. Cheap, fast, well built and great battery life.
Gotta love that Apple tax!
Anything to prop up Zionist ISrael and the coffers of its shareholders. :D
