schwungsau Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 i had bad experience with dell XPS laptop, that's why i switched to mac book. best part is the apple service, they will replace your mac book even if it is 5years old. a friend of mine try get replacements for surface because it burn the CPU, they was laughing at him in Microsoft store. but i know a guy, which he is using his Dell Precision Mobile Workstation for years.

What issues did you have with the xps? I've got an xps13 and it does feel a little temperamental...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwungsau Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 XPS graphics died.... after dell service guy came and replaced the motherboard, it got worse it run's hot after 20 minutes and shut it self down -->just throw it out and switched to apple. never issues or blurscreen --> never lookded back... i heard lot time people burn's CPU/GPU if it let it runs all day long under full stress. thats i never buy machine with highestg GHz. good cooled or Xeon's . thats why willl pay extra money and save me time for fixing /replacing stuff all the time.

DonRomano Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Andrei Lebrov made a cool review on the razer blade. To me, it seems like it's the best laptop at the moment for cgi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-8HTLLK910&t=44s Otherwise, this one seems cool if you upgrade the ram to 32 Go https://www.amazon.fr/MSI-8RF-446-Creator-Portable-RAM16384/dp/B07N74CM9H Or this one, a friend of me, using Houdini a lot, told me it was a good deal https://www.amazon.fr/Gigabyte-Aero-15-W9-7FR0250P-Ordinateur-Portable/dp/B07RWC82FX/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=gigabyte&qid=1564684344&rnid=340859031&s=computers&sr=1-1 Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
