Dell XPS

“I've also experienced numerous thermal issues with Dell XPS'es (keyboard de-gluing and popping up, for instance)”

“They always had nice screens, good performance, and held up to the stresses and strains of travel and heavy usage.”

“I've owned several generations of XPS and whenever I need a new laptop XPS is my choice. So far I've loved them.”

“I must say I prefer it greatly to the quality of the Mac Book I have laying around.”

“It's not surprising that it would have better than average support.”

“Dell have pre-installed & fully supported Ubuntu on a bunch of their Precision, XPS, and, more recently, Pro laptops for over a decade now.”

“my nice Dell XPS? Not much difference. In either price or hardware...”

“I've had Dell XPSs and Lenovo Thinkpads exclusively prior to Framework, and they all died by component failure”

“My work laptop (18 month old dell XPS) can’t hold a candle to my 6 year old MacBook’s trackpad.”

“fine aside from the annoyingly brief battery life”

“the battery life in use was poor and they tended to need the battery replacing quite quickly”

“Had a really good Dell XPS at home too that was dying when compiling big Typescript codebase.”

“I cannot help but feel happy with Framework, Panther Lake and Dell XPS”

“You're better off buying a Dell XPS on sale, I saw one for about 800$ the other day with 32 GB of ram.”

“The Dell XPS and Framework laptops already far exceed MacBook Pro battery life.”

“because the body is wedge-shaped, the keyboard sits at a slight angle which makes it feel so much better to me”

“still works great (except the battery)”

“Plenty of computers with great MacBook-level fit and finish let you access the SSD at bare minimum. E.g., the latest generation Dell XPS.”

“their driver team isn't supporting my 8 year old XPS anymore as sleeping is... problematic”

“I'm typing this on an 8 year old Dell XPS laptop.”

“My nearly 6 year old XPS begs to differ.”

“I've never had an issue with mine, as it is located exactly where I expect it to be.”

“It was a maddening guessing game, where occasionally - but not always - the edge of my lower thumb would touch the track pad”

“On the new ones just announced, there are physical and visible lines.”

“I had the 17" XPS, which was lovely. A nice 16:10 screen, which was the main thing I was looking for.”

“I got used to it within a day or two of use. Its muscle memory at this point.”

“I'd be typing along and then I guess some portion of my thumb towards the palm would brush it and WOOSH”

“are all very nice, and have lasted for just as long as Macbooks do”

“I'd take the bigger trackpad and better screen of the XPS/precision any day”

“I'm sure the XPS is still great if you can live with some compromises”

“replacement parts are generally a lot easier to find”

“A clean install of Ubuntu and the touchscreen and all pen features worked perfectly and never had a hiccup since.”

“Dell XPS used to be like this, but unfortunately Dell discontinued them”

“Laptop was shit, but after a few repairs, motherboard replacement then complete unit replaced, it is working really well!”

“If your QC is a hot circle of garbage for a nearly $3000 machine then I have zero faith in your company.”

“Power states are completely broken. Laptop will randomly turn on when it's in my bag and rev up to ten thousand degrees.”

“My wife's smaller and slightly less powerful xps is doing great”

“My Dell XPS had pretty good battery life on linux.”

“I'm happy with everything on my XPS.”

“Extremely impressive logistics. I guess they reuse the same network as for emergency server parts/repairs.”
