Dell XPS 15.
- umanwizard 7y agoI own one and this is just not true.
- tachion 7y agoNot even close. All plastic, much worse touchpad and coil whine in all models I cared to check up on.
- theelous3 7y agoIt's carbon fiber composite and machined aluminum. Yes, there is some plastic, but it's solid as shit. No coil whine in mine. Touchpad idk, because I don't care that much about miniscule differences in touchpads, but it does the job as well as any high end laptop. All touchpads are trash imo, so I find it hard to prefer one over the other. Most important for me when writing code is keyboard and screen. The kn is acceptable. The matte screen is a must for me. Even if it was all plastic, tbh I'd still take it for the matte screen.
- feteru 7y agoI think we have different subjective tastes, I use my laptop docked most of the time, but the touchpad on macs is the only acceptable one I've used. All others fall that 5-10% below in performance and smoothness that makes them unusable. It's miniscule, but it's the most important final few percentage points. Not a huge fan of matte screens either, I like pretty colors that pop and rarely work outside. Although I did have a privacy screen on my computer for a bit which was fun.
- theelous3 7y agoEven indoors I find the reflections awful on non matte monitors. If you have your laptop permadocked, why do you care about touchpad? Surely you use a mouse?
- explorigin 7y agoI also own a Precision M3800 (the business version of XPS 15). It is on par performance-wise but not in fit and finish (rubberized wrist-rest? what was Dell thinking?) Granted there are many generations of the XPS 15.
- guggle 7y agoHell no... for reasons not on my part I have one of these. I won't list the problems but I'll just say this: I just want my 2015 Macbook back.
