I loved the design of the Dell XPS 13 that was released earlier in the year and now they've made it even more powerful? Seeya Apple....You have nothing to offer that Microsoft and Dell don't and that too with those two being innovative and using cutting edge tech.

I bought my XPS 13 over the summer for my little bookkeeping side gig. It's frankly the best Windows laptop I ever owned. And I was dreading getting a Windows based laptop. Straight from the MS store, Signature Edition.

I'd consider it, if it had a type cover. I don't want to carry a laptop, and the type cover on my SP3 means I don't have to carry a full laptop if I want to take my keyboard with me. Other than that these looks awesome and definitely something I'd consider.

Edit: dell active pen, bleh. I still have night mares on those pens, having Dell repeatedly send me new updated ones which never worked well. I think I still have a couple of them in my basement somewhere.

I am really set on the 15' one, ugh. I like that the ssd is user replaceable.

The laptops look literally like the PC version of the first gen unibody MacBook Pros.

Not sure I see the similarity?
The dells have a tapered design and tiny bezels.

I'm glad Dell is pushing out good looking products, will force the PC industry to step up their game.

I just hope the 1080p version comes in a glossy version, the matte coating dell used before messed with the colors.

 

[robE89]

From the service manual looks like that ram isn't soldered on the 15' version and you can change it

@Rangomango 1080p is matte and 4k is glossy as far as i know, anyway it's 100% rgb now, maybe they fixed it.

LE: 1080p is just 72% rgb

We have 3 dell XPS's on hand

2007 XPS M1710 (Pre Alienware Laptop) [XP]
2008 XPS M1540 (New Business Model Laptop) [Win 7]
2013 XPS 17 [Win 8.1]

The 2 first ones work like a charm! They have never had any major problems!

on the other hand, the newest XPS, has had some serious flaws! First up, the screen was cracked when a plastic water bottle was placed on top of it! Next up, the HDD died after a year of light use!

However, the XPS has come a long way! I have heard great reviews about the newest version and, can't wait to try it out!

Ah yes, the first gen MBP had super slim bezels and carbon fibre. Right.

The latest XPS 15 looks like a total stunner. Why does the MBP lineup even exist anymore?

Oops I keep thinking the 2013 version is the newest! It's more like the Current model's (2015 lineup's) predecessor!

The MBPs, right?? But back when I bought my laptop, the rMBP was the best one available.

I was talking about the XPS. sorry about the confusion

All these detachable hybrids are looking GOOD!!!!! Apple do something quick damn it!!

Screw the detachables! Even the "classic" XPS 13 and 15 blow the rMBP outta the water.

I'm not really feeling the large bezel on the bottom, even though I know they had to put the camera somewhere.

Tbh, I actually quite like the look. Of course, that's subjective.

Because OS X.

Because OS X.

Meh. Doesn't look like Apple really cares about OSX anymore...

man.....Dell is killing it with the new XPS releases!

And the concept of the Surface Pro is finally becoming more appealing with each release. I knew from the start that it was an amazing concept that NEEDED both time and advancements in tech to be fully feasible. Microsoft is now one step closer...

It might be awhile till Apple manufactures a touchscreen laptop. Just read this article on BRG. http://bit.ly/1Nema9P

I really like that XPS 15.
Looks great and it appears you can upgrade the memory and storage yourself; wish you could still do that on the MacBook Pro.

Edit; Out of curiosity, would anyone know if an XPS (or any other PC with Thunderbolt) would be able to work with an Apple Thunderbolt display?

It's nice to see how Microsoft's hardware efforts have *finally* gotten other OEMs to make desirable devices.

There was a time when Apple notebooks were the only choice for good display and build quality, now the Windows camp has some great (in some respects even better) hardware too.
