Abstract: Dell debuted its XPS brand on bleeding-edge desktop PCs back in 1993, but now this famous name is commonly associated with luxurious laptops such as the latest XPS 15. It's designed for those who want a high-end experience, whether it's for creative work ...
Abstract: Gigabit Wi-Fi is starting to appear in mobile devices, so we got our hands on three smartphones and two laptops running the 802.11ac standard and put them to the test. Though you won't see anywhere near Gigabit speeds in real-world environments, our testi...

Spectacular 3,200x1,800 touch screen, 802.11ac wireless, Premium look and feel, Priced under Retina MacBook Pro
No Thunderbolt or Ethernet, Lackluster battery life
This year's Dell XPS 15 is one of the most luxurious laptops we've ever tested, with a super-high-resolution screen that tops even Apple's MacBook Pro With Retina Display. Note, though, that we'd vote for the SSD- rather than our hard-drive-based con...

High-end materials, Sturdy chassis and superb build quality, Upgradable by the user, High display brightness and contrast, Very sharp picture, Very high performance, Good battery life
Frequent rendering issues due to the high resolution under Windows, Highly reflective display, High temperatures under load, Expensive
