Hi! I could use some advice here. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that a new MBP would be an ideal laptop if not for its connectivity issues, increased price and disputable touch bar. These are problems for me. These are problems for my budget, that's for sure. So here I am, wondering...

Hi, I want to buy the 13 inch Dell XPS 13. But I can't choose between the 4K version or the FHD version. Is it a very big difference between the i5 6th and the i5 7th?

I just bought an XPS 12 off of eBay, and immediately put Windows 10 on it. Soon after the install, the laptop started turning itself off when running on battery power. My first instinct was that the battery was damaged. I no longer think that's the case, because it will stay on in the BIOS as...

Are the M cores really as bad as some reviewers say? The Yoga 3 Pro has a M 5Y71. 1.2GHz does sound pretty measly. I won't be doing anything too intensive but will that slow the system down? Other than that the specs seem pretty decent and right now its priced comparably between the bottom level...

The new Dell XPS 15 and 13 laptops look amazing. HOWEVER, in Europe the customization options are quite limited, meaning that some people are forced into either waiting or buying a setup that they don't need/want. For example, I would love to buy the XPS 15 with FHD (non-touchscreen), the...
