My brother has the XPS 13" and it is a very nice laptop. That as a powerful 15" is close to perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustobohm Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Jan K. I have a Dell notebook, it is a little bit old now, but it worked great for me. Search Make sure it doesn't overheats, because that was the only issue i found in my dell, in summer, it overheats while redering (Brazilian summer, you can just ignore this part...). But the notebook as all was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderSK Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 My girlfriend bought the infiniti Dell XPS13 and indeed it is beautiful. But damn, they're coming with re-fresh offering 16gb ram now for it ! For f. sakes, why wasn't that "possible" month ago. I was eye-ying the XPS15 as well, it's bomb. Honestly there isn't single better laptop right now on market if we think in terms of "just laptops". This SurfaceBook on other hand... (I could use both...but these pricetags are out of normal world) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amen Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 You buy yourself 32 gb ram and use that. It should work. It is at least 1k cheaper than a similiar macbook pro. The only thing missing from perfection is a Samsung SSD 950 Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderSK Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 You buy yourself 32 gb ram and use that. It should work. On the XPS13 Infiniti/Haswell version ? Isn't it fully soldered (even than it would be up to 16 as I doubt it has more than 2 "slots" ) ? Nonetheless it's so small it's impossible to do any work on it so it doesn't matter that much :- ) It's more for reading interwebz and showing people nice images on super nice screen. XPS15 is price-wise just manageable..I don't think it's 1k price difference compared to macbookPro anymore...and the SurfaceBook is almost more expensive.

Amen Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Yes the 13 has soldered ram. I meant the XPS15. Here in Germany Apple charges 600 € for the upgrade from the 500 gb SSD to the 1000 gb SSD. So more than 1k is true although not understandable.

beestee Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This SurfaceBook on other hand... It is very interesting. I will be watching forums closely to see how the custom discreet graphics solution performs. But what about that graphics chip? One part that’s still shrouded in mystery is the discrete graphics chip Microsoft put in the Surface Book. Microsoft blew people’s socks off with the Surface Book and the fact that it basically put external graphics into one part of its detachable computer that doesn’t require a reboot when you swap between them. What GPU though, I still don’t know. Nvidia offered up nearly the same statement as Microsoft itself did. “The new GPU is a Maxwell based GPU with GDDR5 memory,” an Nvidia spokesperson said. “It was designed to deliver the best performance in ultra-thin form factors such as the Surface Book keyboard dock. Given its unique implementation and design in the keyboard module, it cannot be compared to a traditional 900M series GPU.” The company directed me to Nvidia’s blog, which confirms that it’s an “8M” and has a 1GB GDDR5 frame buffer. So for that one chip, you’ll have to wait a bit more to find out just what kind of performance the Nvidia GPU nets you. Source: PC World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmaknev Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I am also eyeing one of those two laptops, XPS15 and Asus UX501 (https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/ZenBook_Pro_UX501/) The Asus looks like a clone of macbook for $1000 less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
