I just moved from a late 2014 MBP running Arch to a Precision 5520 (more or less the business variant of the XPS15) running Alpine. Both feature an i7 HQ, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Both where about 2200€. The Precision is a good laptop but it's my first that isn't better in every way than the one I had before. On Par: * Fast (for a laptop) processor. * Fast SSD. 900MB/sec on the MPB, 400MB/sec on the Precision. Anyway fast enough. * 16GB RAM. Just enough for me. Good: * Linux support. Very important for me. Suspend to RAM on lidclose works reliably. WLAN works. (Display dimming just works (as with the MBP), no coil whining here). * Display. Native HD (had to use Linux' crappy scaling on the MBP). Non-glare. (And the MBP had the display stain issue) * 3 years on site guaranty, if on site isn't possible, I can keep the SSD. * Can change RAM, SSH, battery without voiding guaranty. Bad: * Display. I'd prefer 16:10. * Sound is slightly worse when laptop is used on a table. Sound is dismal when laptop is used... on the lap. * Keyboard on the new Precision is worse than the one on the 3 years old MBP. Will use the UHK in the office anyway.
