Dell Computer XPS 15 XPS15-6842sLV 15.6-Inch Laptop

Actual Dell Computer XPS 15 XPS15-6842sLV 15.6-Inch Laptop review from buyer.
Kicks the butt of my Haswell 15" MacBook Pro
I have been a long-time user of Apple laptops. I always thought that Apple made better hardware, but I've never been keen on OS X... I prefer Linux instead.

But I bought MacBook Pros by the bucket-full over the years (at least 2 new MBPs per year.)

This year, I switched to using a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition instead of a 13" MBP Retina. My review of the XPS 13 is here: blog.goodstuff.im/still_liking_xps_de

But the XPS 13 is limited to 8GB of RAM and I do a fair amount of Scala work, so I need more than 8GB. I went looking for the XPS 13's bigger brother.

I got an XPS 15, loaded Linux onto it and started using it. It's a really sweet machine.

Well... it's almost sweet... the 1TB 5400 rpm drive is slow, slow... so I replaced the drive with an Intel 240GB SSD drive.

And now the XPS 15 is faster than my Haswell 15" MacBook Pro for Scala development.

The XPS 15's screen is better than the MBP's Retina...

Excellent Buy!

Very powerful laptop with very high video quality, which I do recommend.
It is also a lightweight laptop taking into account their specifications.
