Why do Dell notebooks have the most generic, clunky and unimaginative designs?

The hardware isn’t even different anymore, either. There were advantages about a decade ago when Mac architecture was significantly different, but now they’re using the same Intel parts that everyone uses.

The difference is down to purely the OS and how much you love aluminum at this point.

There are some Mac notebook design details I wish were on PC notebooks like the magnetically coupled break away power supply connector that will detach from the machine if the cord is yanked or tripped over vs dragging the machine to the floor or destroying the motherboard.
