I really don't know why anyone would order a laptop from Dell, or any other OEM for that matter. Dell and their like, obviously, aren't at the for-front of lap

Dell and their like, obviously, aren't at the for-front of laptop design. They are still using plastic and calling Carbon fiber a "premium" laptop material (it isn't). They are using second rate network adapters. They are using second rate SSDs which have terrible write speeds. Windows trackpads arent any better than they were 10 years ago.
To top it all off? You'll need to do a whole damn Windows reinstall to get rid of the tons of bloatware they pack in.
- pknopf 9y agoWhat vendor would you recommend?
- pmontra 9y agoIf one doesn't want Mac OS the usual vendors are HP, Dell, Lenovo, maybe Toshiba, in the order suggested by a repairman to a colleague of mine. I've always been lucky with touchpads on high end HPs. I've been using Ubuntu since 2009, maybe it's a Windows problem.
- markeissler 9y agoThat order is pretty much spot on and it's been that way for 20 years. HP's competitor to the 9560 would likely be the just-released Zbook Studio G4 but it does not offer a 4k touch screen option. Lenovo doesn't really have a competitor right now, the closest would likely be the P51s but it's only dual core...I think the regular P51 (not the slim) is at least one pound heavier.
