what's /g/'s verdict on the dell xps 13?

I'm in the market for a portable laptop and this is one sexy motherfucker, but reading about all the common problems like coil whine or shitty wifi connection is putting me off

what are the alternatives?

I am in the market for a similar device as well, the bugs of Dell XPS really keep me away from it.

Currently I am thinking about getting a Macbook Pro 13". The current is 1.5 years old and has Broadwell but I am sort of in a rush, been putting this off, and I need the device by end of this month at the latest.

Don't do it. Buying a 1.5 year old machine for full price is utterly insane.

But he'll be able to use it for like the next decade.

Only slightly related but I was totally going to buy the xps 15 until I realized that it has no numpad. Too bad.

Don't forget to subscribe

On principle you shouldn't buy it. Theres no reason why it should even be sold at this point other than the fact that Apple went full retard.

>>55847980
the keyboard on xps 13 is shit really sharp and sudden bottom out on the keys I went with a macbook pro instead and its fantastic
>>
>>55849061
>zero key travel
>one single port
if it weren't for those flaws I'd be sold

>>55847865
>that giant ass bezel
>webcam in the bottom bezel simply because 3 out of 4 bezels need to be über thin but it's still okay to have a giant 4th
>battery lasts a year

Can you even disable the auto brightness yet?
>>
>>55849125
Depends on the model, but yes you can.
>>
If it had a clitmouse, I'd be a bit interested. As it stands, it's just more consumer garbage. Nice panel though.
>>
>>55847980
I'm in a similar situation to you, but I'm going for the 12" Macbook solely because it's updated to Skylake and I'm not trying to do anything heavy on it.

All of the complaints about the XPS13 really ruin the "But it's cheaper" argument for me and I can name 2 times in the past 4 years I've actually needed to use the ports on my laptop.

Used an xps13 for school last year for class

Ended up using my main rig whenever I could due to it having such a shit keyboard

Otherwise it worked fine and got the job done, it's also Sexy as fuck
>>
>>55847923
I'm honestly thinking of just getting a used x250 for half the price of a xps 13 at this point
>>
Why not get a used thinkpad, nobody cares how le sexy your laptop is reddit
>>
Lenovo is having a 2cool4school sale right now. Brand spanking new Thinkpads 10-33% off. That's not even including the corporate offers.

Why are you still here, reading this, when you could be there, buying one?
