its shit

It's not a Macbook Pro Retina

Given that you can get a Latitude with the narrow bezel.

>Not a latitude

I have one. Love it, but the speakers are godawful.

Only the most expensive model is worth the price. The rest are overpriced in comparison with MacBook pros (they have only 1080p displays as well) and the cheapest model uses a mechanical hard drive. No laptop over 1000 bucks should lack an SSD.

>>59470421

>>59470440
to be fair most laptop speakers are garbage

>>59470490
This is not even close to being true

Find a flaw? Name something decent about it. There are better laptops in that price range, stop shilling.

>>59470622
Oh there are? Please link them

>>59470151
Even the Inspiron laptops look better than this plastic turd.

Anyone who has one care to chime in? I want to buy a new laptop for school (engineering). Idc if it's 13" or 15".

>>59470151
Stay pleb.

There is no need, you are a shill and every suggestion I give, you will ignore oe say its worse than your product. Theres a decent chance of you replying that there are no better laptops in the price range, but then again, you are a shill.

>>59470788
Oh so you don't have anything worth a shit to look at. As expected
Nice talking to you

>>59470151
it's not the xps 13

>>59470736
>plastic

>>59470831
xps 13 isn't worth mentioning. The spectre x360 beats it in every way.

>>59470861
Does the Spectre require nonfree drivers to function on loonix?

If yes then it isn't even close.

Can get better hardware in the inspirons and for cheaper.

XPS is just Dell's attempt to attract applefags by showing how much they could be getting ripped off for a windows machine instead.

>>59470861
lol

>>59470879
No it isn't. It's better hardware than applel shit for less price. Sorry if you hate windows for no reason.

>>59470151
Chiclet keyboard. Non-modular. Plastic touchpad.

>>59470917
>plastic touchpad
It's glass dipshit

>>59470906
Seeing as I typed that on the latest generation of win10 15' inspiron because the xps offered less for more money, I think you made a bad assumption

It'd be much better if it were metallic. Anyways, it's got horrid deadzones and has a delay.

What about the keyboard and modularity? Did I find two flaws?

>>59470936
I'm not talking about the inspiron. I'm talkking about the macbooks. Obviously the inspirion is cheaper its literally plastic

>>59470941
it's not a macbook

>>59470952
from the awesomeness of the specs you mean?
Unless you are a crapple fanboy that cares only about esthetics. then /yaoi/ might be for you

>>59470968
And my point is macs are for fags that like to get tremendously raped while xps is for fags that like to get moderately raped

matte screens are more visible in sunlight

>>59470151

It's Dell, that's already a flaw.

>>59471168
I'm aware. What does this have to do with how difficult it is to move the laptop from one place to another?

>>59470151
Don't know anything about this computer but
>Windows 10
cancer

>>59471203
I think he meant it's more usable in a wider variety of places

It's a consumer class device, not business class like Latitudes or Precisions, and it doesn't offer the same warranty support.

Now if Dell was truly smart they'd release a Latitude version of this device with the same/similar hardware and the proper warranty support for business purchasers.

But they won't, unfortunately. Needs a matte non-touchscreen version as well.

>>59470172

Just get a third party matte screen protector???

XPS or X1 Carbon?

>>59471369

Would have to recommend the XPS in that one for many reasons but you'll have to figure those out yourself.

what do i buy if i want the xps 13 but with proper cam placement

>>59471539
Spectre x360

>>59470151
15"

>>59471562
>>59470956
How is this a flaw?

>>59471567
Because it's not ≤13"

>>59471577
What if you like more screen realestate

>>59471589
That's what desktops are for

>>59471617
What if you are unable to use a desktop

>>59471629
Then you use your ≤13" laptop

>>59471640
What if you can't use a desktop but still want more screen real estate?

>>59471654
What sort of shitty situation are you on that you can never use a desktop?

>>59471670
When you're away from your desktop for any extended period of time?

>>59471762
So like I said, wait for your desktop or do it on your laptop

>>59471770
>wait for your desktop
Seems like an unnecessary thing to have to wait for when you could just get a laptop with a bigger screen

>>59471777
Well sure but then you'd have a less portable portable device. Seems pretty silly.

>>59471806
I don't really think sacrificing productivity for slightly better portability is a smart trade off.

>>59471831
If shaving 2" off your screen sacrifices that much productivity, you've got bigger issues than worrying about your laptop's screen size.

>>59471917
Not really, I really do think you're underestimating how big of a difference that extra 2" makes when working

>>59471933

Center is the only proper place for a trackpad.

>>59470151
Anemic low-voltage dual-core processors.

16:9 display.

macbooks are currently afaik the only ultrabooks avoiding this. its a pretty bad trend, but i'm glad other non-apple companies like ms and google (though the latter isnt doing ultrabooks) are also starting to buck it and i hope it sticks.

>>59472484

Huh. Looks like you're right. That's good to know.

>>59472731
top bezel too thin for proper webcam placement

i got the XPS 13. My only regret is not getting the 1080p matte screen, don't make my mistake.

I end up running it at 1080p all the time anyways because 50% of the time I am just remote-ing into my work PC

Is there a difference between the hardware of the XPS 15 and the Precision 5520?

they actually have a developers edition with decent specs. i5 processor and SSD suitable for coding with ubuntu preinstalled. At least you know windows isn't apart of the price.
I think right now Dell is one of the major companies supporting linux. The only thing holding me back is the reported coil whine issues.

>>59473133
1. The top bezel needs to be that size for proper webcam placement
2. The keyboard isn't plastic.

I have it. It's pretty good. My only complaint is that the screen is reflective as hell. The XPS 13 screen on the other hand seemed a lot better in that regard. The XPS 15 is worth it if you want some extra screen space along with a so-so GPU for the occasional gaming.

you actually save around $100 in comparison to the next up config. Swap out 32gb ssd for an intel 600p of your desired size.

>>59475024

Nah, even the worst nvme ssd's dell supply are miles better than the intel 600p, and you can ask for a partial refund if you don't get the samsung PM961 anyway. (subtracting roughly 150$).
