    Hey everyone, I haven't posted on here in quite a while, but I am in the market for a new laptop, and I see that the new XPS machines have just been released. I wanted to gather some opinions (aesthetics aside) about the new XPS 15. I do not do any gaming, but rather, mostly browsing, some picture and video editing, and general word processing and spreadsheet work. I like the price of the basic model of the XPS 15, because it seems like it would fit my needs pretty well. My question is though, is it too much laptop for me? I spec'd out a couple others (Studio, Inspiron), and you can't really get close to the same specs for the same price, so it doesn't seem worth it to buy a "lower-grade" line. What are your thoughts? Does anyone else feel the same way?

    Consider the Vostro line. That's what I did two years ago and it worked out really well. I got great specs for a great price and a great design (at the time). I haven't looked at the Vostros lately, though, so maybe things have changed.

    In any case, business models seem to be more value for the money.
