In fact I know most of my friends are/were using Dell for photography editing and they do recommend them. For the price it's really nice. I'm 50/50 video/photography which is why colour fidelity is important. Thanks for your comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I coaxed my Macbook Air back into life and will keep it for a while. Apple must be close to releasing updated Macbooks soon so it is worth waiting a few months to see what they release. They are falling badly behind in the specs race so their new specs must be good to be competitive. I did buy my wife a Dell XPS i5/8GB with1080 screen though and wow it is good. As gsenroc said, the screen is really good and very sharp. We're not using it for editing videos, but photos look really great on it. It is very fast and the improved wifi makes a real difference. Dell support has been great too, so it has been an excellent purchase so far. I think the version with a UHD monitor will be fantastic so I am very tempted..... gsenroc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I nearly pulled the trigger on the XPS15 when it came out, the Thunderbolt 3 connector is a killer, and the Razor external video card module is about to come out. But still I think Mac is more comfortable to work with. DevonChris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our XPS15 cost £917 including three years next day warranty and I think thats a bargain for its quality. It was amazing to watch how fast the refurbs were selling during that sale. You had to be really quick to snap one up. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an Easter sale at the outlet too. red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 That is a cracker of a price! I will monitor the Outlet store. I have had my MBP over 7 years and time for an upgrade but worried may miss FCPX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonChris Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Just noticed that Dell Outlet UK has 10% discounts for XPS 13 and XPS 15 laptops now. The offer lasts until 2nd March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
