Re: Dell's XPS 15 laptop out-retinas Apple MacBook Pro I'm excited by the XPS 13. 13" seems to me to be the sweet spot in laptops. 11" is too small and 15" is too big (and 17" is gargantuan). 13" is juuuuuuuust right.  |

You needed the Dell XPS M2010, unfortunately no longer sold.
But there is the Dell XPS 18 from this year: »www.dell.com/us/p/xps-18-1810/pd?~ck=mn

Amen! I don't know how people use those dinky laptops. I can't imagine using anything smaller then my 17.3" laptop. HP either has or will have two 3200 x 1800 models as well. A 14" Envy consumer laptop and a 15" ZBook Workstation. Would love to have something higher then 1080p, but refuse to sacrifice screen size. I can barley deal with a 17", no way will I ever go smaller. Being an HP guy, I wanted their 21" HDX Laptop so bad, that they offered about 5 years ago.

I use a 15 inch MacBook Pro with the 1680x1050 display, and I spend 70% of my day in Eclipse with the remaining time in Firefox, Outlook, command line, and PDFs. When on the go I make use of fullscreen in Eclipse and use multiple desktop spaces to manage the remaining open applications. When at my desk I can use the dual external monitors (plus the built in display) and spread everything out among the 3 displays.
As long as I have my trusty Microsoft optical mouse I'm good. After about 3 seconds on any trackpad I'm ready to punch someone.

LOL.
Yes, a mouse is a basic requirement, trackpads are not my flavour either.
Funny how we all see laptops - I hate netbooks and prefer a decent screen size.
The GUI of Win 7 and then change to square design of Win 8 with the underlying basic theme still at this resolution would not be helpful at all unless you are on tiles and a slate or something and explicitly utilizing the front end of Win 8.
How though they have tried on a laptop is beyond me; it seems like they are still trying to break into a tablet but put at risk all laptop/box users just to do the research for when they do hopefully put out a tablet that is bulletproof.
Stop competing with Apple and become a leader again.
Apple were always unique to me and not for everyone.
Why would a family man want a Ferrari for everyday when a simple people mover is a better runner.
Now, if Microsoft could look at it that way, and stop competing with Apple and the quality and it's graphics and really concentrate on user friendly, the ultimate forefront of old Apple......they would out sell Apple for some time if they got it right.
I'm not sure what path user friendly and the present GUI is going, but it doesn't seem to be taking the easier path for end users running 2 desktop shells on the 1 computer......
Still interesting enough but thought this a hardware topic.
We all have a view.
