Is XPS13 - 9343 with the i5-5200 the only one thats worth of the dells if I want a slim shit?
no surfaces pls
>>54345840
I like mine.
>red pill
shut up.
>re
stop
>>54345840
>consumer grade hardware
>doesn't even open 180 degrees
>shitty, consumer grade hinge
It's shit desu.
>>54345840
Its ok to go for it
Don't trust them 2004 thinkpad autists here
>>54345840
Been using it since it came out last year - it's ok. Shit battery life (I have the QHD+) but the display is better than my calibrated Dell monitor. Upscaling video to QHD+ resolution with the internal GPU is painful though, Youtube sometimes drops frames when watching 1080p60 video on chrome
>>54346087
Have you done the kernel fix to improve battery life? If so how much extra life did you add to it?
>>54345840
>redpill me
Kill yourself.
>>54346118
I don't remember there being any big change in battery. Right now, after over a year of battery degradation, I get around 5 hours on wifi, ~50% brightness, internet and video with background applications

XPS 13 is ok, I prefer the Latitude 7370, which is pretty much a rebranded XPS 13.
>>54346087
>Youtube drops frames
Fix your hardware acceleration
>>54345840
Get the RBS over the memezel 13
>>54347028
RBS = ?
>>54347118
Razer Blade Stealth better features/specs at a better price.
>>54345840
looks like shit, feels cheap.
it's shit considering its price.

>youtube using native video player in firefox runs like ass
>using flash player runs quite well
>using mpv runs flawlessly
explain this shit
>inb4 shitbox
my pentium 4 still kicks ass
>>54347274
>Razer Blade Stealth
ah
not officially in my country yet, bigger than 13'', specs look good though (on paper anyway)
I mean, if looking at specs, I could go for a chromebook pixel 2 too, but meh.. would prefer something close to the xps13 (by size, thin shit, with long battery life and i5 or comparable/higher cpu)
>>54345840
no, stay le blue pilled XD
>>54347476
Uh the razer blade stealth is thin(actually thinner last I checked) with the same battery life unless you get the 4k screen and the base model is an i7 cpu. Sucks it's not available in your country yet.
>>54345840
>brand new laptop
>the touchpad is already getting shiny
i actually like the XPS developer edition, but for some reason it's not available in canada.
>>54348166
Well, all the software and drivers are available from their website so it isn't hard to turn a normal xps to a dev edition
>>54345840
>Is XPS13 - 9343 with the i5-5200 the only one thats worth of the dells if I want a slim shit?
Yes
All laptops are shit. I don't know why the obsession with proprietary and disposable trash.
>>54345840
why not the 9350?
>>54346087
1: should have gotten the 1080 version. Mine from 2015 (so a year of battery wear) still gets about 11 hours. And I use it like the bitch it is.
2: chrome is notoriously bad with high res videos. Even edge is better. It's really too bad edge sucks at everything else though. I'd say give edge a try for the YouTube shit for a few days. See how it goes.
>>54347529
But it's got a smaller screen in roughly the same size. It's bezel is way too big.
>>54346497
Yea with a shit CPU
>>54350466
Gotta have your i7 for hyperthreaded shitposting right? xD
>>54345840
I have the i5-5200 one, im actually deal booting with windows right now.
Why wouldn't you just get the Skylel version?
>>54346497
Odd that would use Core M in that.
>>54345840
Take it from a guy that knows he's shit.
Xps 13 2016 revision
6560u - iris 540 comparable to a 940m but at 14nm meaning half the power draw, thinnest bezels on any laptop made and unfortunatly jewshill dell made the iris 540 only with QHD and not FHD, you have to modify it for better battery life.
Repasting CPU - 5 min job lowers thermals 5c
Undercoating CPU -.180v - lowers thermals 8c and power draw
Once modded this is a godlike laptop nothing compares. Also the key travel is decent unlike what you may have read.
>>54350424
The screen is of higher quality.
>>54350518
Actually I'm more concerned with the igpu, which is trash on the Core M's...
People here are already complaining about the video performance so fuck downgrading it even more
>>54350626
Gotta watch your anime in 4k huh xD
>>54350644
go away faggot stop moving the goal posts he had a valid point and you were wrong
>>54347529
Your asking to be fucked with anything 520 and below. It's a useless igpu.
>>54350626
>video performance
Elaborate please
>>54350668
You mean the exact same one as the xps 13?
>>54345840
Isn't there an XPS 13 with iris now?
>>54347274
Shit battery
Shit aesthetics
Just buy a 15" gaymen laptop if you so desperately need mobile gaymen
>>54350598
>Take it from a guy that knows he's shit.
thanks for the chuckle, anon
> no surfaces
why though? It's arguably one if the best "laptops" for the price if you're a student (big student discounts on them where I live)
Only downside is that some keyboards bounce more than a stripper's tits while others are fine
>>54350760
It's not a gaming laptop though it's an ultrabook. Look up any review you want that compares it with other systems everyone picks it over the xps.
Also
>shit aesthetics
pahlease go back to your memezels
>>54350734
So ruin a warranty to install another chip? You can already buy the 540 in a dell it's just like $2000 lol. We're talking price and performance here.
>>54350924
Did op mention yanking the fucking chip out?
>>54345840
>that giant ass bottom bezel featuring Dell's patented NoseCam® technology
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-12-Early-2016-1-1-GHz-Review.164797.0.html
Why not the new MacBook?
Even notebook review likes it.
>>54350924
You just get a fine ultrabook for a reasonable price but you could do better with a ChinkPad or XPS. Only advantage is that GPU thing but that shit is way overpriced.
>>54350953
No >>54350734 and >>54350598 did. You know, the people I'm responding too.
>>54350974
You can't do better with an XPS though that's the whole fucking point for $999 you get a better processor, screen, and build quality in the RBS over the XPS and if you go up every model it stays that way until the RBS is $1399 and the XPS is like $1499 to even be comparable.
>if I want a slim shit
>I want a slim shit

...how does one shit slim?
>>54350399
just pipe it into a real video player if you know you're gonna be watching long HD video
>>54350997
>for $999
Man for $999 you could build a helluva desktop.
>>54351224
The whole point of an ultrabook (one would hope) is that you already have a desktop...
>a thread about laptop types
>HURR WHY EVEN BOTHER YOU COULD GET A DESKTOP WITH BETTER PARTS
there's always one
>>54351324
It's because laptops are shit. Why would you lock yourself into a system with completely proprietary motherboard and casings, shitty drivers, short lifecycle, soldered-on GPU and RAM, tiny 12" or 17" screen, et cetera?
Even beyond that, people are talking about paying >$500 for the 'privilege'!
>>54351362
Because it's portable you cuck
>>54350236
Yeah, you are.
the keyboard is fucking terrible coming from a t410
>>54351373
So, buy a fucking BT keyboard for your phone, or buy a Chromebook for $200. Desktop is the only form factor worth investing any money into.
>>54345840
the screen is nice but the fucking horrible plastic and keyboard ruin it
>>54351412
People do more than browse the web not everyone is a jobless basement dwelling cuck like you.
>>54345840
Pick it up for $600 on eBay. Fullhd version for Dat battery
>>54351362
>>54351412
Holy autsim
>>54351362
you know what they call someone who completely misses the context of not only what OP's entire thread is about, but what I said, too?
[spoiler]you____[/spoiler]
>>54345840
I rolled with the XPS 15 myself because it's much more easy to repair. Slim shit comes at a price if something fucks up
>>54350760
Or get the XPS 15 ....
>>54351224
>$999
You could be 900 mcdoubles too if you wanted too
>>54346087
What distro are you on?
>>54351397
>n-n-n-no you!
Well done autist. Go back to r/4chan now.
>>54351373
Please don't use "cuck" as a general derogation, you're cheapening the impact.
Please restrict its use to describe people who're actually knowingly letting others abuse them by getting a free ride off them (i.e. actual cuckolds).
>>54351129
pucker up but don't clench down all the way
>>54352539
says the cuck
>>54351474
Is it worth buying a used one?
>>54352038
>>54352461
this desu senpai
