They used to love using the generic microsoft default drivers too rather than say the intel specific onboard GPU driver. But its rectifiable. I quite like the xps 13 myself, have had a go with one, lovely piece of kit. Still maintain that my favourite laptop in terms of physical packaging is one that I actually own. A 15" macbook pro 3.1 (aka, a late 07 model). In terms of specs, less so.
OK then. Seems like you've made up your mind. And besides, the 970 is a great card. --- Post updated --- Dell's looking at itself and reflecting on the past. They even gave us an XPS 15 with a GTX 960M. And that sounds pretty good. Although the fact that they made a new XPS 12 still makes me skeptical (Did I spell that right?). The 12 is the Marmite device in the lineup IMO.
Apparently the GTX960M is the cheapest card that is a major improvement over Intel graphics. The GTX950M isn't even worth it with a Skylake CPU iirc.
Didn't say anything against it. Just a general "holy crap!" about how much those cards get down-throttled. It's really the thing that makes the term "gaming laptop" sound a bit silly. And then there's the fact that the throttled cards sometimes cost more than the desktop variants.
I think because of the Windows 10 update, software for the trackpad got messed up, but was fixed in the bios update. I just don't know why they didn't update the software when it was being manufactured. But it's a really solid laptop anyway, and nothing could beat the price I got it for.
didn't really buy anything but. 4:3 aspect ratio screen for looking like an 80s movie (crappy iphone flash sorry.) letterboxmasterrace
I'd already tried that but my monitor doesn't have a displayport capabilities and I can't have sound through DVI so I did it this way, also this way gives me more HDMI ports to use my PS3 or whatever else on this monitor
Meh for me when i used my HDMI to DVI cable for my 360 it wouldn't carry sound and as my 360's only output is HDMI or A/V this way made the most sense to me.
