Which laptop should I get for University?

[Sollja]

I am currently deciding between the Razer Blade Stealth and the 13" MacBook Pro. Will mostly do some coding and media consumption on it. 

[Damascus]

I would consider the dell XPS 13 as well, between  the macbook and the RBS I'd get the stealth

[TechyAlex]

Literally comes down to this: Windows or Mac? Which do you prefer? If you use an iPhone, get a Mac, as much as I hate Apple products the ecosystem is so good.

quality issues, poor thermal design, nonexistent customer support. 

i agree with @Being Delirious , get an xps 15 it has about 8 hr of battery life.

Retail was 1700€ in Europe (with addition of a fingerprint sensor). There was a 12% discount, so it was 1500€ ($1690) for me.
