I would have plopped the money down on one of these on saturday but I tried the one on display and the keyboard was horrible.
So I bought the 7560 (which had a much better keyboard and was 650 pounds less)..that went back after 6 hours when the hinge broke.
Shop didn't even quibble so I suspect it wasn't the first they'd seen.
Now I'm buying a Thinkpad.
- seabrookmx 9y agoI've been pretty happy with my Precision 5510 (which uses the same chassis as the XPS 15) but I agree, the keyboard is a low point that the reviews seem to miss. I prefer the keyboard on my old HP Folio 1040, which admittedly is very Macbook-like. That and the webcam are my only complaints though. I love the speakers, screen, trackpad.. and the single-cable thunderbolt dock is great.
- noir_lord 9y agoFor me it was that the keys actually rattled if you ran your fingers over them, that would drive me crazy, with the backlight on the spacings where all over the place because they moved around so much and the typing experience was sub-optimal, if the XPS15 had had the keyboard on the 7560 I'd have bought it there and then. The 7560 was a nice looking/nice spec machine at 950 but the damn chassis bent just from opening and closing the lid in the first day. Dell can make good machines but mostly by luck I think sometimes. My current Laptop is an old Vostro 3750 I paid 500 quid for new (stacked discounts on the Dell site) and it has a better keyboard after 5 years of abuse. Damn thing just won't die.
