I was very intruged by the Dell XPS 13/15, especially since they come in a developer edition which runs Ubuntu. I've been holding off on a purchase because I wanted to see what Apple would come up with, Dell looks pretty strong today.
- kilroy123 10y agoI bought one a few years ago. Worst laptop I've ever bought! The keyboard was broken right out of the box. They replace it, reluctantly. I always had problems with the touchpad after that. The CPU fan went out after a year. Then I had lots of trouble with replacements after that. Ugh. Much happier with my Macbook Pro.
- ianai 10y agoNo hardware problems on my XPS 13. But the trackpad, however, has never worked properly with Windows 10. They seriously dropped the ball on the trackpad. I don't understand how that's possible on a laptop.
- TheRealDunkirk 10y agoOther than the hardware failure, what's the situation with Ubuntu handling things like external displays and suspending?
- kgabis 10y agoI have a 2016 XPS 15 and it's nowhere near a mbp when it comes to build quality. Keyboard and touchpad are much worse than on my 2010 mbp 13, palm rests are made of grease-absorbing plastic, fans can get VERY loud and it's impossible to open it with one hand. It just sits in my drawer nowadays.
- 40acres 10y agoYikes, yeah I've heard the build quality is not up to par. Even the base MBP (no touch bar) is a tough pill to swallow.
