Lol. Missed that.It's already posted on this thread, Robin
That's what really swung the XPS for me, 15" screen but just barely bigger than a normal 13" body. Great spec (You'd hope so for the price!) but its nearly two years old now and it's slowing down, the battery is offensively short, speakers are ****e and it's had some weird bugs. One day the desire to mess about with linux (Or Hackintosh ) will coincide with me not being busy and I'll finally do it.The newer 13" screen uses the same size body, But has a thinner bezel/surround compared to my 11"
I keep meaning to venture back to Linux. Was 15 years ago I last dabbled.That's what really swung the XPS for me, 15" screen but just barely bigger than a normal 13" body.

I used it in my first year at uni for a while, on a dual Xeon 1U server I though I could use as a desktop. Once you get past the two minute boot time, fan noise approaching the threshold of pain and it's sheer size, it was a decent PC (Wasn't a bad space heater either ) but there was no 8 pin power for a bigger GPU, and I had to pay for electricity after I moved out of halls so it got replaced. I need Solidworks and Ansys for uni anyway, there's no escaping Windows.I keep meaning to venture back to Linux. Was 15 years ago I last dabbled.
Why the hate?I'd love to have another iPad.
And I'd take immense pleasure in fastening it to a length of rope and dragging it behind the wagon up and down the Great North Road . And if that didn't sort it out, the 10lb hammer at the back of the cab would...
Samsung for me every time.
Why the hate?
Only overpriced if you buy brand new & a matter of opinionBecause compared to the Samsung it's ridiculously overpriced, harder to use, and a complete rip-off where peripherals are concerned.
