if u are considering a mac, it is.
it is the premium alternative to the inspiron line with solid build quality and mobility.

weight, size, build quality, battery?
it is a premium grade, similar to business class laptops who are of lower spec, bulkier and pricier...

yup, as someone who travel a lot; having such a laptop is amazing especially with the claimed 15hrs battery life.

as for your complain about the build, it is in fact black aluminium. the only one better than it would be magnesium-lithium alloy which Lenovo is currently using.

the XPS series is never meant to be for gaming, Dell have Alienware for that market.

as for the edge-2-edge, basically it allow a 13inch screen to be on 11inch body. how is tat a gimmick/ fancy feature? it is basically needed to get it into such an amazing form factor.

a 13inch screen that is as small as/ smaller than a 11inch macbook air.
common sense if it is edge to edge, then the extra space would be gone and making the laptop small rite?
that is your answer.

i love how you commented about it being bad without even reading about it...
from it being aluminium built (with carbon fiber inside) to the small form factor (your so called gimmick edge-to-edge screen)...

depends on:
- how long you plan to use it for?
- what are you using it for (for wear and tear)
- budget?
- how mobile are you?
- computing knowledge

if you are a heavy user, then it is always worth imho

In that case i would just have the Dell NBD warranty for 2 years just to be safe and giving you a peace of mind (which is very important)
Personally all my laptops works well over the years without any problem but it may just be my luck.

you mean the new Macbook 2015 which is a netbook (running Intel M, 480p webcam, 1 port lolx).
yes.

i would only compare XPS with a MBPr
