Lets put it this way Apple charges more just for a name. I firmly believe that you will do just as well if not better than buying a Dell. What if your Mac breaks and the logic board goes out and its $700 to fix? Also as long as you have the I7 6th Gen 16 GB of RAM a good Graphics Card(look for Nvidia with at least of 2 GB Video RAM) a 256 GB SSD or even a 1 TB HDD or even better a hybrid SSD /HDD you will be good to go.

Apple makes their computers using Foxconn the Chinese manufacturer as does other computer manufacturers . They all come from the same factory using the same materials. Do you think Mac uses a different USB Connector?

As for WiFI look for Boradcom adapters.

I just ordered the HP Envy x360T with 1 TB HDD 16GB RAM and an Intel 520 Graphics Card(If i want to game I'll use an XBox 1S) It has the I7 6th Gen 6600U. And its built out of aluminum and reminds me of the Mac Book Pro. I would imagine its made at the same factory that manufactures the Mac laptops.

Also I don't want to spend $2,000 to get a laptop with a "locked down" Ecosystem. Apple puts what they think I will like. I know for a fact that Windows 10 suits my needs. I like a 2 in 1 and don't want to fall for buying separate products and spend upwards of $3,00-$4,000 dollars.

Just my 2 cents.
