I like the XPS line myself (especially since they are probably the best laptops you can buy pre-loaded with Linux), but as for pure Windows dev, I'll have to wait and see what the reviews are for the Surface Book. I think that could give the XPS line a run for their money.

- sjclemmy 11y agoI totally agree, the Surface should give them a run for their money. Whilst the XPS was by far the best Windows laptop I've ever had (fast boot up, fast etc. Good graphics support) It still had some flaky aspects. Sleep resume was erratic and the wireless adaptor power saving didn't know what to do sometimes - so I did have to reboot to fix some problems. It also had a monitor colour temperature issue - sometimes it couldn't work out what the correct setting was, or their was a problem with the firmware, I dunno, but I used to get subtle magenta then green then magenta casts on the screen. It wasn't bad enough to worry about, but still not good. Aaaand It borked one time, so I had to restore from backup. I've never have to do anything on my 3 year old MBP.
