DELL XPS 15 Opinions

[JuliusTroubleshooter]

Hello guys!

I'm looking at buying a DELL XPS 15
Ref: http://www.dell.com/uk/p/xps-15-9550-laptop/pd?oc=cnx5502&model_id=xps-15-9550-laptop

I was thinking, is it worth the money?

What I will be using the laptop for is gaming from time to time but mainly my studies. I will use it for programming, graphics, video editting etc. Simply IT/MEDIA. 😀

Also maybe there is alternatives to this?

I would love to hear your opinions about this and if is worth it..

Thank You!

It is a very nice laptop..... But you could build a much more capable gaming desktop for half this price!!

If you have no place to put a desktop, then the laptop should be good for gaming.... it is a good spec.

I have a desktop machine, and I'm happy with it! 😀 Only problem is that I'm leaving for University soon, so I guess a laptop would be the best option, as well as for meetings and events etc.

My daughter took her PC, 24" monitor and Hi fi system to college.....
judging from what I heard, you will probably need that £1500 for spending on alcohol......

Is the trackpad glass-smooth or sandpaper-rough on the new Dell XPS 15?

I bought my wife a Dell about six months ago. Great machine, but the trackpad feels gritty to my fingers. Great specs on this machine. Just want to make sure about the trackpad. And how is overall use of that component, in your view?

Thanks.

Its a good laptop for what you need. If the video editing software takes advantage of the 4k display then it is a good deal. If it doesn't then you could look at a workstation laptop like the hp elitebook or the lenovo w series. Other alternatives are the razor blade 13 with its gtx 970m which is a lot stronger or the auros v17, 17 inch version with its gtx 980m I think it has.
