Here’s the thing. That Dell is a very nice laptop. But it is unlikely you can run OS X or the new macOS on it. While I can work in Windows 10 but I hate 95% of doing so.

So there is a 5% chance then : )
I was hearing a computer radio show today called The Tech Guy and a guy called that was going to college said he wanted to buy a windows pc as the Mac was so expensive. He might be the only one in his class with a Windows pc.

You see Apple is the reason college is so expensive! : )

The HP Spectre and Dell XPS series have Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports, as do a lot of ginormous gaming laptops. I don’t know what the driver situation is, but there are already some interesting adapter and desktop docking solutions available, and I’d expect to see a lot more.

Quite a few of the higher end PCs are adding the Thunderbolt 3 drivers and hardware to their functions because of the much faster transfer speeds. It really is a no brainer. . . and the connector is identical. It merely involves adding the internal hardware and drivers plus licensing the Thunderbolt technology for a couple of dollars per unit. I doubt you'll see it on the $300-$400 cut rate PCs for a long time though.

Lots of US companies have stores there...
