Dell XPS 13/15 and competition Anonymous 2016-09-13 01:28:26 Post No. 56574684 [Report]

Hello /g/,

I am in the market for a new laptop. Through my research I have concluded that dell XPS 13/15 are good laptops within the $1k-1.5k price range. Although I am aware they are prone to issues.

The XPS 13 is portable, good battery life, good display etc. However, you cant upgrade ram, only the drive.

The XPS 15 is just as good as the XPS but comes with a dedicated GPU, upgradeable RAM and I can get it in FHD rather than super glossy 4k touch-screen.

Is it worth going $500 beyond my budget for the XPS 15?

Any other recommendations?

Will you use your laptop for anything that will benefit from a dedicated GPU?

Occasional gaming is about it. I'm not huge on video games but I figured it'd be nice to have a laptop that benefited my occasional gaming. (Like 2-3 sessions a month). I may also need to do CAD programs in the future. (2 years from now)

In 2 years you'll be able to get a much better laptop with a much better GPU.

But if you do want occasional gaming you'll really struggle with any laptop gpu to drive the native resolution of your xps. If you're fine with that, get the model with the gpu.

What are you going to do that would need more than 16gb ram?

I plan on dropping to 1080 for gaming. Would the integrated gpu on the 13 be enough for casual gaming? Counter Strike source, League of Legends, Dark Souls 3.

Id be getting the 8gb XPS 13 which can't be upgraded to even 16 after purchase.
