Why would i get a XPS 13 1000$ model?

[EliasRC]

My question is why would i get the dell xps 13 1000$ model when theirs acer laptops with the same specs but a gtx 1050? i get portability issues but other than that i dont really see the point specs wise?

 

Can anyone give me a good reason?

Form factor. You are paying a premium for the small chassis and portability. You pay a premium for a mini ITX motherboard too. They have less expandability, but fetch a higher price than a basic, but fully featured standard ATX motherboard. You are paying for the luxury of having a small system.

You can also ask why Apple users spend $2000 on a laptop when they can get a better one for the same price.

 

However, uses cases go beyond raw specs. And what the person values as well. I like the idea that even though I spent $150 or so on my motherboard, I'm utilizing it more than if I spent the same amount of money on an ATX board, where almost all of my expansion slots will go unused and I'll have oodles of SATA ports open.

Build quality and propably good cooling

The XPS 13 likely has a much larger battery, and more exotic materials in the build. It also might be thinner, better keyboard, etc.
Hard to say when you don't provide a link

it is much higher quality than a Acer craptop and you pay for the engineering that went into getting a very thin 13.3" laptop.

You could also as this question for ThinkPad's, elitebooks, latitudes, precision and other business laptops, but there the answer is clear, you get machines that are well cooled and build really well, so well that a MacBook seems like a cheap toy.

 

it doesn't make much sense to compare a product that is ment to be for x and therefor is build for x, to a product build for y. They have totally different use cases.
