Consider getting a Dell XPS, a System76 or a Google Pixelbook for your development unless you're specifically making iOS or macOS stuff.
- _bxg1 7y ago> the touchbar is worthless for anyone who is reading HN That seems unfair. I've never really had use for function keys, and while I do enjoy the physical volume and brightness keys, the touch bar can certainly be put to use by power users: https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/customize-and-personalize-your-macbook-pros-touch-bar/ https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/customize-and-perso... I looked into the XPS 13 but the screen is smaller than I'd like, and more importantly Windows and the non-Apple touch pad just generally put a damper on the whole user experience. Which isn't something I want from an expensive new device.
