Activity: 0% Longevity: 50% | | Who has the Dell XPS 13 or 15?
I want to get the Dell xps, either 13 or 15. Leaning towards the 15 because its more powerful and I can just bring a mobile battery to make it last longer. I want the 16GB and 1TB one.
Anyone has one? Do you like it? Is it as good as the hype? Also should I wait for the next model? How often do the release a new model?
Also, is refurbished worth it? Any laptop or computer sellers on here? refurbished or new, hmmm..... Seems like refurbished would run into less problems since it is manually checked by Dell, but do they sell ones that are dented or have cosmetic problems when selling refurbished?

The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!

I'm an asus fanboy myself... but what exactly is your goal and needs with a high-end laptop?
If this is for a VMware setup, you're probably better off to setup some type of remote access to the VMs running on your desktop, and access them from your laptop.

My friend has a XPS 15, and honestly It's gorgeous. I'm planning to get it as my next replacement sometime soon.
Also, why is this posted in eBay discussion? Is this related to stealth at all?

I think ithelps is deciding to get one for him and (by discussing it here BiN4RY), he is alluding to the fact that he will be donating one to the forum for raffle purposes, right? |

I would avoid Dell computers like the plague for stealth accounts. My friends, coworkers and myself have all had hard drive problems with dell computers.
Nothing would be worse then having your files of accounts lost along with all the user profiles and cookies.

I'd try vmware on a vps but its just don't work or don't work well.
I just want something fancy.

I use a clevo w230ss for a business laptop, much faster than anything Dell has in the 13inch size.

You don't need a supercomputer to use vmware, and I definitely wouldn't recommend the remote server-based vmware setup - that would just add layers of unnecessary complexity. But since you have already decided to blow some of your profits on a new top-of-the-line laptop, get a mac. It doesn't have to be the newest $2500 macbook pro. My last macbook had 4g of RAM and ran VM's smoother than any PC I've ever worked with.
Once again I agree with speeder. I've had 3 or 4 dell computers crash in the past for various reasons, so now I will not go near them. If you don't want to get a mac that's fine, just don't get a dell. A standard out-of-the-box toshiba laptop from walmart would be a better choice, IMO..

I understand why people dislikes Dell, and quite frankly I do agree with you guys from a traditional point of view. Their Ultrabooks like the XPS 13 and 15 is a whole new story though. They're quite amazing and really well built.
