  I cannot recommend the Spectre: - touchpad requires a third party driver, has really bad recognition and the driver needs to be reset from time to time because it stops recognizing multitouch gestures (there's even a button for reseting the driver in the control panel), this is on Windows10 - keyboard is really mushy and when typing fast, keys sometimes register twice or not at all (first laptop where I ever had such a problem) - the WIFI didn't connect out of the box with my router, I had to revert to a one year old driver (Windows 10) I have now a Zenbook UX330 which doesn't have most of these problems (it also needs a third-party touchpad driver though), but has an Optimus NVIDIA/Intel GPU setup which at least on Linux is basically useless. Can't comment on the Dell XPS :) [edit: typos]

    > there's even a button for reseting the driver in the control panel thank you for once again reminding me why I've never looked back after switching to Mac hardware back in 2006. I'd much rather "cope" with hardware that isn't absolutely top-of-the-line spec-wise than dealing with buttons to reset a f'ing input device driver. I think our perception of the Mac slowly losing its "it just works" status is somewhat shifted as we're forgetting how bad the alternatives were and obviously still are.
