    Pros: -High quality construction
    -Incredibly sleek design (Apple doesn't own the rights on "sleek")
    -Blu ray
    -Great Dell support
    -Very reasonable price (especially compared to the similar-sized Macbook Pro, which offers less overall functionality)

    Cons: The keys could have been made bigger, and I don't have fat fingers by any means. Along with that, there's that dead space on the sides... which one would think could have been utilized to make a bigger keyboard.

    Summary: I've seen the researched Macbooks, Lenovos, HPs, Alienwares, and right on down the line. Dell's new XPS 15 delivers quality in spades on all fronts, whereas most other offerings are far more hit-and-miss. Top notch materials were used in construction, and you get bevvy of features... and more versatility... than you would with any Macbook (e.g. blu ray playback if you want it, it's good for art intensive programs such as Maya, light enough for students on the go, can upgrade to ssd drive and 16gb ram, solid graphics card for next-gen gaming, etc.)

    I HAVE OWNED A TOTAL OF FIVE(5) DELL COMPUTERS.
    MY MOST RECENT PURCHASE WAS JUNE 2012.
    I HAD TROUBLE WITH IT THE VERY FIRST WEEK.
    I HAD TO CALL INDIA EVERY OTHER DAY AND STAY ON THE PHONE
    FOR HOURS WITH SOMEONE WHO COULD NOT SPEAK ENGLISH OR UNDERSTAND
    THE PROBLEM AND COULD NEVER FIX IT.
    FINALLY THE LAST WEEK IN AUGUST I CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE WITH WIN 7 AND I HAD TO PAY $229.00 TO
    FIX IT AS OY THE HARDWARE IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS.
    I WAS FURIOUS !!!! MY $995.00 COMPUTER WAS ONLY 7 WEEKS OLD AND ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD !!!
    I PACKED IT UP AND SENT IT BACK.
    I LOST ALL MY MONEY AND NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN.
    I BOUGHT A HP COMPUTER WHICH IS WONDERFUL AND HAS A FULL 1 YEAR WARRANTY ON EVERYTHING!! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS GREAT TOO AND THEY ARE IN THE USA !!
