I'm a few weeks into an XPS 15 after a decade of Apple. I'm really liking it as well. I'm even running Windows 10, of all things— between WSL and native SSH + git and friends on powershell via Chocolatey, I'm finding it surprisingly comfortable.
I think my main frustration is just that a few things about the trackpad aren't quite right. For example, I can't find a combination of settings under Windows which give the physical right-click behaviour that Mac OS has.
- plasma 7y agoI’m really considering the switch to XPS also; I think their latest model moves the camera back to the top as well. What about the track pad isn’t working? And do you notice any “coil whine” I’ve been reading about? My other choice may be a Precision but haven’t read enough about it. Thank you
- mikepurvis 7y agoI haven't experienced the coil whine issue, but I'm also mostly powering it from a USB-C dock, if that makes any difference. I love how big the screen is— it's a 15" display in a chassis that's barely bigger than my old 13" MBP. That said, camera below the screen is a definite negative, so that's great if it's been moved back; I've just assumed I'll get a clip-on USB cam and leave it at home for VC use.
