SO DEMANDING posted:

op i've got some bad news: they're all terrible

some are less terrible than others but they all suck in one way or another

also the xps 13 is pretty darned nice as far as PC laptops go but lmfao the xps 15 is plasticy garbage for morons. really good specs for the size but shockingly bad otherwise if you ever get your hands on one, seriously go to a microsoft store or microcenter whatever try one out its just bad, shaggar and surebet are wrong

can confirm the xps13 is nice if you don't do real computing with a numpad

not quite sure why the above poster thinks current gen precisions are plastic-y, i'm typing on one rn and it's a full metal frame

previous precision gens were however quite plastic; they had a proper metal subframe but the hinge assemblies were bad
