@netikras that borderless screen really does its job
-
I'm using Dell XPS 15 9560 with Linux. Thing's overheating quicker than I'd wish, undervolting and BIOS updates helped a bit. NVIDIA GPU starts throttling after a few minutes of sustained load. Killer Wi-Fi is terrible, 5 GHz doesn't work at all, drops connections or is slower than 2.4 GHz (same on Windows). Wouldn't recommend. I also have a Latitude 5450 (slightly older) and it works like a charm both on Windows and Linux.
TL;DR avoid XPS, get a Latitude. -
@netikras I guess I should've said light instead of small. Sorry.
A light laptop with a nice big screen. I've tried the 13 and while it is pretty awesome, it's also a bit smaller than I'd like. -
@Angry Light and nice big screen? Sounds like LG gram. Honestly I don't know it's specs, but it's 17" and still one of the lightest laptops ever.
This is a view from a rooftop in NYC that I sometimes get the pleasure to work from. I really like the view an...
MacBook Pro... without the retina
7 years of innovation and best design teams on the planet... can you tell the difference?
Holy crap. I am so torn between getting a razer blade 15 and an XPS 15.
I am going for the small-but-powerful build because I keep finding myself coding on the go (with GoLang, snicker).
I was pretty happy with my Dell Inspiron 14 even though I had issues with Linux in the beginning. But my main gripe right now is how heavy it is to lug around together with it's charger--which I can't leave without anymore.
I'm looking at both laptops' 1800 USD configuration which pretty much have similar specs. And I also did some research about how each plays with Linux and they pretty much have the same (fixable) problems.
What I wanna know from the fine folks here is what their experience have been like. Cause I know I can make it work with Linux but if the total experience is just meh then I don't think they're worth the hefty price tags.
