The Dell has now lasted 2 days longer than the MacBook! To be fair, a 15-day old MacBook bricking episode has to be pretty rare.even with double the RAM (16 vs. 32) and SSD (1 tb vs. 2). With the Dell's RAM and SSD configuration the MacBook comes in at close to $1,000 more than the Dell.
So far, the Dell has been a pleasant surprise. Quick, incredible 15.6" OLED screen, good keyboard and trackpad, and no issues at all. All that, and a clear path forward for Windows-only apps. The Dell was also slightly less expensive than the MacBook
Windows 11? No issues so far.
Battery life? No comparison, the MacBook will take that one going away. As for fan noise, the Dell has only run the fans when creating video. Otherwise, it's cool and quiet.
Ports? The MacBook had HDMI, but a $10 USB DisplayPort cable works just as well with my new Dell UHD monitor. Otherwise, the two are equal in port numbers.
Both are really good premium machines, and a pleasure to use. If you have one of the new MacBooks congratulations. It's a great machine.

3. And then made it here in 2 days.
The machine is top notch. No matter how hard I push it the fans cannot
be heard. Using Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro it is a speed
demon. The display is very bright and wonderful. Battery Life is out
of this world.
