Happy with my thinkpad and have a decent desktop machine.

At some point when my thinkpad dies this will be my goto machine, unless they release a surface book 2

I have a February 2015 XPS 13. It's shit.

The screen would randomly turn off until it was fixed in the 4.4 kernel which hasn't even reached stable Ubuntu yet.
The audio hardware would randomly stop working on both Linux and Windows and needed to be reset a few times in the BIOS.
The screen has an auto brightness firmware that can't be disabled. I don't mind this.
Also, the keyboard is atrocious but I don't care too much about that either.

I didn't find out that these were problems with firmware instead of the operating system until it was too late.
>>
>>53630601
I like my devices to shut down when I tell it to.
>>
>>53630711
Any problems running Ubuntu on it m8?
>>
>>53631054
There's more.

Some of these problems affect the new XPS 13 too.
It comes with a proprietary wifi card even though it's marketed as a Linux dev machine.
The camera is in a retarded position because they wanted you to see the Dell logo.
If I recall correctly, the battery life was marketed crazy high at 12 hours but it was 6 hours with very light usage.
The battery's life span is only 300 cycles where a Macbook Pro for the same price is 1000 cycles.
>>
>>53631054
>needed to be reset a few times in the BIOS.
How did you do that?
>>
>>53631290
You need to cold boot into the UEFI and disable the audio card. Power off. Cold boot into it again and enable it.

T-this has to be a temporary position or intentional, r-right? There is no fucking way MS would release a 2k device that can't even be used on a table.

Only happens intermittantly and doesn't dtop you from using on the table at all.

But yes, MS did shit QA on a $2000 device.

Sounds still damn annoying. Acceptable for a $600 box of trash but not for a premium device.

Ah well, there is still 2, 3 and 4 coming. Surface line was pretty shitty before 4 too.

Doesn't seem that bad.

And it's pretty common too. Can only hope that they banned the designer from working in his/her field for life.

ive tried "The Book" in Best Buy, and it's nice, but it also feels fragile

YOU WILL NEVER PULL YOUR MAGNESIUM ALLOY X201 TABLET OUT OF YOUR BAG AND FEEL INVINCIBLE

also, the X201T is just as functional for correcting PDFs and making Flash animations, or doing Arduino doodling, and it is highly moddable, whereas The Book is just what it is

Have surface pro 3 with 4 type cover. Actually pretty solid device except for the massive microsoft cock that is lodging itself further up my ass each time it decides to turn on in my bag and completely drain the battery while overheating the tablet and countless other bugs that make me wanna chuck this thing at a wall.

That sounds annoying as fuck. No idea why new sound cards seem to have this fucking problem, he one in my windows tablet also does this sometimes - but a reboot fixes it

As long as you type more than 5 words per minute, You probably won't have your finger on those keys long enough for the power/eject to engage.
>>
>>53632304
Depends on software too. I remember when early versions of Mavericks had the key triggering after a touch, sending entire system into sleep.

SHILL TEAM 6 IS IN FULL EFFECT!

If the monitor didn't detach(thus a better hinge) and it didn't have a touch screen, I'd buy it in a heart beat.
>>
>>53630601
It's not even sold in my country.
So I went for an Asus Zenbook that also comes with a GT940M for half the price.
>>
i'd rather have a chromebook book pixel + sony digital paper + wacom intuos than something that does all of them with microsoft-tier performance, aesthetics and reliability.

I got mine in recently. I . The screen opens 125 degrees and no further. I fucking hate this. Everything else is great, I think the "book" gap design is really smart in order to keep the keyboard from ever touching the screen when closed.

If I could I would get an XPS 15 instead, only reason for the tablet portion is comfy browsing in bed.
