So I bought this, was it a mistake?
>>53684542
Depending on the price. <600, well done. If you spent more, it's just silly since you could get a rMBP.
>too poor to buy a MBP

im not a fag so i didnt buy a mac, and i spent 2300. Comes with 16GB of ram, a 6th gen I7, 4k display and its sexy as fuck to look at.
I also bought this mouse.
>>53684636
>not a fag
>bought a mouse that looks like a sex toy
Pretty silly to spend so much money on inferior hardware.
>>53684658
well i like it .
So I bought this for $800 off amazon, was it a mistake?
>>53684682
I would never buy a laptop that uses a lambo/mustang shitty hybrid in the mockup
>>53684682
yeah that looks like fucking shit. Even though I hate macs and apple products in general, I prefer it too look cool over some ugly chucky thing like that.
>>53684679
Well, somebody has to.
Not really, at least people won't assume you're a homosexual when they see your laptop. Though you could have just bought an i3 surface pro 3 if you really needed portability but this isn't too bad especially since it has better battery life.
>>53684682
Was literally considering buying this, I just fucking hate how it looks. The hardware is up to what I need though.
>>53684831
The Verge told me it was a great computer, and I trust them. Thats why I bought the S7 Edge too.
Now install arch with Awesome WM and go to town
>>53684636
thats a nice mouse. I'm using the old version for 3+ years now
>>53684849
S7 Edge makes sense, since it's pretty much best Android phone. This ... doesn't given the competition.
>>53684844
>pushing outdated tablets
Why would you do that, anon?
>>53684882
yeah its cool as fuck. It subtly vibrated where the scroll wheel would be for haptic feedback.
>>53684899
What would you have recommended. I had a Yoga Pro 2 and it just crapped out on my last night so I thought this was good enough.
>>53684929
MBP of whatever size fits you best, There is simply not competition once you spend more than 1k on a laptop.
Better trackpad making that gay mouse obsolete, much better battery life and a non cancerous OS.
> I had a Yoga Pro 2 and it just crapped out on my last night

Well, at least consider a Fagbook once this Dell kicks the bucket.

>>53684899
Meh it's cheaper and I honestly feel the surface pro 4 series didn't improve much and isn't worth the higher price.
Laptops are a mistake.
>>53685266
Not really, I need portability. Not everyone lives in there moms basement and has room for a big ass gaming pc.
>>53685174
I guess you missed the "shitty" part. All the 16:9 trash are consumer laptops with the quality of one. Though to be fair, Windows is probably the biggest factor.

>>53685254
Improvements don't have to be huge. 4 has better weight/size, much better pen and trackpad. Might be better battery life too if I remember right.
Surface 4 is what it should be from start. Not like either is any good if OP is looking for a laptop.
>>53684682
>crown victoria chasing a hot wheel
Wat
>>53685356
Also I needed a PC instead of a mac cause AKO doesnt work on macs.
>>53685404
Are there no work arounds? At worst you could run Windows when you have to then though.
>>53685443
Im not duel booting, waste of time and energy when I could just buy a laptop just as good.
>>53685356
>Improvements don't have to be huge. 4 has better weight/size, much better pen and trackpad. Might be better battery life too if I remember right.
Battery life is actually reduced. SP 4 is getting flak for other reasons as well. I wanted to get a SP4 but now I'm in doubt like everyone else. Might end up just waiting for the SP 5 desu
XPS is a good laptop. When you sit it on your stomach and jerk off the cum generally doesn't stick to the lid.
Also it is made from a single aluminum block so you can beat your fat wife.
>>53685498
Well, it's not like SP 3 had a battery life to write home about.
SP 5 should be interesting. Wonder if there is a way to attach the keyboard to it, so it becomes more of a laptop aka. usable on the lap. At least the battery life should be in 7-8h territory with new CPU and possibly more efficient screen tech.
>>53684542
Might have been better to go with the business model Precision 5510.

That'd be an even worse mistake.

Holy fug I also have a yoga 2 pro and am thinking of going XPS
>>53685088
XPS trackpad is just as good as the Mac, yes I know hard to believe but is part of why XPS are comparable in price to Mac.
>>53684597
xps is expensive as fuck you moron.
>>53685642
Precision are built as work horses and more scaleable.

I bought it too. The track pad sucks but I usually use a mouse anyway. Also, the casing is resin.
>>53684849
>The Verge
The sjws have taken that site now friendo
But I'm not sure if they were biased in the 15's review
>>53684682
>>53684846
same. it's sad bc the previous model looked gorgeous and had an aluminium lid, then for Skylake they repositioned it as a gross, dull-grey gaming laptop with red details that you can't opt out of.
I just want a mid-tier laptop that looks smart enough for business ffs dell
I just bought a Dell Inspiron 15 for 36k flipland dollars (PHP). Did I do good, /g/?

Keep dreaming.
Windows "sees" Trackpads as mice and they are ALL shit, every single trackpad under windows is absolute crap

>>53684636
How big is that thing? It looks super uncomfortable. More uncomfortable than the garbage Apple magic mouse
>>53684636
Have the same thing with FHD. Need the 8hrs battery life. Only thing I don't like is the Broadcom wireless card. Replaced it with a Intel one and now I'm fine. Running Mint like a champ.

I was thinking of buying one for $2300AUD. From this thread it doesn't seem that great now
>>53684542
that bezel could never be a mistake
>>53684542
Just picked up this Dell Inspiron 11 2in1 yesterday.
I always regretted selling my touchscreen Toshiba 11.6" Radius for the picture Asus gaymen laptop.
Fuck this bulky piece of shit, my new love is my Dell 2in1.
I for now, and forever will stick to high powered desktops and ultra portable laptops. High powered laptops are not for me.
The 2in1 life is so comfy.
I have a mushkin 2TB SSD and G.Skill 8GB SO-DIMM in the mail for this puppy.
(Pentium, 128GB SSD version)
>>53684542
>was it a mistake?
Keyboard is flexing, touchpad is mediocre and a lot of them suffer from backlight bleeding.
Overall its ok, MBPr would be better at that price.
>>53684597
The XPS15 is more expensive than most Macbooks you shill.
>>53693944
Wtf, keyboard is rock solid for me. Touchpad is the best on any Windows laptop. Also
>relying on touchpad
>>53694059
Jesus. MacBook 15 pro with worse specs costs around 500 bucks more.
>>53684542
Everything was a mistake OP
>>53694083
Denmark here, the XPS15 is definitely more expensive if you want the same specs.
>>53694094
Paid 1800€ for 512 GB ssd, 16gb RAM, i7, FHD.
Show me a MacBook with that specs for under 2k
>>53694069
>Touchpad is the best on any Windows laptop.
Tell me, how many have you tried?
Because Latitude and Elitebook tochpads are way better. Thats not even subjective, its just a fact.
>>53685656
The Windows drivers for the XPS trackpad is shit. On Linux it works really well though.
>>53694115
Good enough faggot?
>>53694180
>core i5u
>no gpu
>13 inches for manlets
No not good enough. A lot worse.
>>53694211
>Implying quad core and gpu makes any sense in a laptop
>Implying 15 inch laptops are portable
>>53694271
Only because you don't need it doesn't mean it isn't worth more. I can make use of the GPU and extra cores. Still you just didn't show me an equal Macbook for the same price.
Stop shilling so hard.
>>53694271
The 15 inch Macbook isn't portable. The xps has a much smaller footprint.
>>53694271
>Implying less is better
Worse in every aspect. Almost same price.
Stop eating shit from your hands mate
>>53694339
I'm not even >>53694180, but quad cores and gpus in laptops just make them insanely hot, loud and reduce the battery life by 99%.
Its stupid, if you need performance you can't get around a desktop.
>>53694353
I know the size of the XPS, still not portable. I even have a hard time with my 14 inch latitude, and thats smaller. you just don't have enough room on the go 99% of the time to whip a 15" laptop out.
>>53694418
Also, the 15" MBPr is $200 more than what OP paid.
For that you get a better build quality, better keyboard, way better touchpad and better screen.
>>53694418
>loud and hot
The xps is silent in idle and doing light stuff and lasts around 8 hrs watching video or browsing. Modern CPUs can clock down you know. Even when gaymen it doesn't get that loud.
Also the GPU is off when not needed. So literally no negative impact.
>>53694464
You are talking out of your ass, every test shows that the i7 XPS15 has 5h battery life max with light use.
Thats nothing.
Also 41dB with medium load, gtfo.
>>53694494
I'm talking about my laptop. With the FHD screen. Maybe you shouldn't talk about stuff you haven't the slightest idea of.
>>53694517
Even the FHD version doesn't get 8 hours of light use.
I don't know why you are so blatantly lying, does Dell pay you?
Because literally every hardware site says otherwise.
>>53694545
>50% brightness, watching videos, typing some stuff on the train for 4.5 hrs.
>47% battery left.
>stop lying anon
ok.
>>53684590
The rMBP pro that costs 1000$ more for the base model, has a worse screen, has a worse CPU, has a worse GPU, and runs the singlehandedly worse OS in history due to its lock downed nature. That rMBP
>>53694545
Fid they really test the 84 Wh battery with the FHD screen or did you just look at numbers that reinforce your opinion.
>>53694597
OS X locked down? I don't think you know what you are talking about.
FYI iOS is not OS X.
>>53694451
>For that you get a better build quality, better keyboard, way better touchpad and better screen.
Yeah no. The build quality is about the same. The keyboard being better is a meme. I've tried both, I type exactly the same speed. The touchpad is way better on the XPS, and the XPS has a 4k IPS screen with 100% sRGB accuracy. Along with having a better GPU, and a better CPU not from 2014.
>>53694670
I've used OS X, not as customizable as even windows, and doesn't support half the programs as them. If you are going to use a meme OS, use windows.
>>53684636
Yea you wasted your money fuckboi
>>53694688
In what place is Windows more customizable than OS X.
Please, tell me, because you are so wrong that it hurts. OS X is a full blown UNIX system, Windows is not even playing in the same league.
>>53694706
What I think that anon means is that there are hacks for Windows which allow it to be more customizable than OS/X, but it's certainly not customizable on the native level
>>53693758
>Badly cropped attack on titan wallpaper
Literally fuck off
>>53694675
>touchpad delay
>bouncy scrolling
>shitty multitouch gesture support
All of this is Windows and Dell software's fault but it renders the touchpad shitty as fuck if you're ever forced to use the most popular desktop OS in the world. I'm not the Macfag you're having fun with but I own an XPS and know that specifically the touchpad being better is not true.
>>53694768
>muh shitty generic anime

It's not super awful but it's not something you'd expect from an expensive ultrabook.
>>53694768

Priceless
Would like to pick up the XPS but waiting to see what Apple does first. Dell say they only give you a 84 WHr battery with the touch screen model with SSD but can't see that option on their site. Just retarded.
>do research
>reach conclusion
>buy whatever you want with your money

Why, /g/?
If I needed a new laptop and had the money for it, I'd get a Dell Precision 5510.
But what is the point of these "make me regret buying this" threads?
>>53695358
You have to go to the next page, the model selection system is fucking cancer.
>>53695507
thanks. those retards.
>>53684682
Literally about to buy this myself. I could give 2 shits about looks, y'all need to grow up. It's slim and beefy for what it is.
I'll be adding an extra 8gb RAM and one of my spare m.2 ssds. Just waiting on that sweet sweet tax return.
I'm coming from an HP Spectre 13t-3000. i5 4gb model.
>>53684682
Why do all laptops that do not have the trackpad centered have it to the left? Shouldn't it be to the right?
>>53695627
Jerk off with right hand browse with the left.
>>53695243
I just think it would've been better if you just bought a desktop for less money and get a decent laptop for browsing and work while outside.
>>53695627
It's centered in regards to the keyboard without the number pad.
OP back again, I dont know what they you guys are saying, this laptop is fucking noice. Way better than my shitty Yoga Pro 2. The charger even has a little light on the end of it so you know where it is so you can find it easy in the dark.
>>53695627
it's centered on the spacebar of your keyboard.
>>53692953
i get 6 - 8 hours on battery
it's heavier and thicker.
has pretty phenomal performance
it's also cheaper than it's xps counterpart.
>>53695559
i have it i regret nothing.
>>53694588
