When my work laptop got an upgrade recently, I received a Dell Precision 5690 and it seems pretty MacBook-like, like they tried to clone a MBP. Granted, I haven't ever owned a modern MacBook so maybe it's not quite as high quality but it's definitely sleeker than my old ThinkPad. The one thing that's very non-Mac is the power adapter. It's a brick, and while it's USB-C, they used a non-standard voltage/wattage so it's unclear if/how well third party adapters would work.

Unfortunately, in my experience, no. XPS is close but it has too many tiny little issues for a 3 grand device.

I reay like the Asus TUF series in this regard. Except battery life and weight of course.

> appreciate the exceptional build quality of my MacBook Air

Wait until your battery dies.
