That and the fact that all the PC hardware makers insist on offsetting the damned touchpad. Which, maybe it's just my preference, but I hate when they offset the damned touchpad.
It's Apple that offsets the damn touchpad. I don't want it central to the case, I want it central to the home keys (F and J) of the keyboard.
Apple centres with the case. Which is broken. There's more keys on the right side of a keyboard than the left (without a number pad), thanks to punctuation and brackets, so hands rest slightly left of case centre line.
Truth be told I'd prefer Apple fit a trackpoint, but that's never happening.
There's roughly half a key of trackpad to the left of F, and roughly 1.5 to the right of J. For me that's mis-aligned with where my hands rest, even if both component blocks are neatly case centred for pretty and symmetric photos.
The moral of which is, I suppose, that personal preferences are hard to align. :)
I'd definitely recommend the Dell XPS 13 if you're going to be paying that much. It has great linux support.
I think it might still dual boot into MacOS, but I don't think I have tested that for four years . . .
