16" MacBook Pro 16 VS the brand new 17" Dell Precision 5770

[VanVanWang]

Both are my favs and the new Dell Precision 5770 (i5-12600h with iRIS-X GPU and 3-cell battery) is lighter then my MBP 16 (M1 Max)?

 

[DarthVader!]

a 17" laptop with an igpu? I don't know if I came across one of those before. How's the performance? Alder Lake is a great processor and Intel finally knocked it out of the park with that design. I'm really impressed with the specs, though I'm on a lowly 11th gen for my desktop which more then adequately suits my needs

Is the Dell, a work provided laptop and the Mac your personal machine?

Looks like almost all PC manufacturers have almost assimilated Apple's Mac design.

The precision 5770 is a working laptop for running Visual studio plus NI measurement studio.

Works fast and quiet! The 16:10 ratio big 17” screen is great for coding?

Dell XPS 13/15/17 and Precision 5470/5570/5770 are very good designed from learning MacBook Pro’s design.

It’s all started from the Dell Precision M3800 which I ordered one for the first day.

Dell added the new 14” Precision 5470 to this classic and I will order one and couldn’t wait to see it’s side by side with MBP 14?

Looks like a nice design. Too bad it doesn’t run macOS.

One thing that still makes me wonder. The PCs pictured, are they plastic or metal? They have a plastic look to them.

Metal with side A/D and carbon fiber with side C.

 

[jav6454]

Ahh, well, it's a weird combination to add carbon fiber and metal.

If I was ever in the market for a Windows Laptop I would go for Dell and I wouldn't look anywhere else.

Curious, if I were in that situation I'd go with HP and skip Dell.

I usually find carbon fiber and metal go great together! ?️?️? =]

Agreed. It just works for me. It’s comfortable on the keyboard deck, and I like the aesthetic too.

For me it's weird. Unsure why. I'd just rather get either or, not both.

I like the looks of Dell, but they are just as expensive as M1 14&16 MBP in my country and not many configs available either.
One thing I like is that some of them come with touch screen, which I wouldnt mind having on my future laptop, despite having perfectly adequate 12.9 M1 iPP for "touchy" usage needs !
