Just go to Dell official website and read the XPS verified buyer reviews. Scroll until the bottom.

A few people were PMing asking for outcome and opinions, so here's a short 1-month review:
Went with the xps, couldn't bring myself to pay so much more for less. Overall quite happy: Pros: lots of specs, great screen (got the 4K one, didnt quite like the matte UHD one), nice design, good value for money Cons: if you're coming from a macbook, then a lot of little things will get to you especially with daily use, eg trackpad (good for windows, but not as smooth as mac esp for gestures), overall smoothness of Windows 10 (one of the better Windows so far but still not as smooth as OS X e.g. multi-desktop, screen clippings, etc). And yes, it is annoying that you can't open it with one hand Also had some problems when I first got it with the graphics drivers, because of an update downloaded by windows update - blue screens and flickering. Was fixed by manually downloading the latest intel drivers from Dell but it was bloody annoying In summary, if you're a Windows user, I think this is the best all-rounder on the market right now, enough power to do everything from normal computing to image/video editing to some gaming, without feeling or looking like a brick. If you're a mac user looking to switch, you will notice a bunch of small things wrt to the UI that will collectively annoy you over time, but I think nothing you can't live with. |
