Sexeh. Please update once you've been using it for a while with what it's like. I do wish they would look at the Dell XPS and reduce the bezels.

Bezel doesn't bother me + I'd rather have a thicker bezel to support webcam at top of screen rather than the XPS cam that stares up your nose. Another benefit is having the speakers at the side rather than in a more compromised location... bezels only get in the way when you're using multiple screens - which isn't a problem with a laptop

Best keyboard of any laptop I've used - first one to surpass the 2008-era MacBook Pros with that awesome silver pre-chiclet keyboard.

Trackpad is also good and it's also one of the best colour reproductions on a matte screen I've seen - very pleasing to the eye.

My only gripe is that the included SSD is absolutely terrible... read speeds are good, but the 4k random write is a terrible 2mb/s... much older S-ATA SSDs are much better than this. At least it's easy to upgrade, so I've ordered a 1TB 960 Pro to replace it.

A couple more pictures... yes, it's a fingerprint magnet and my desk is messy

But it's not any old cinema. It truly is an incredible experience.

The BFI London IMAX is the largest cinema screen in Britain. It measures 26m by 20m with a total screen size of 520m².

I watched The Dark Knight there at the first showing, it was absolutely breathtaking.
A truly amazing Cinema experiance and well worth it.

*throws up in mouth a little*

Yeah that'd annoy me.

@crinkleshoes did you eat a greasy donner before touching your laptop?

Is the top smooth metal? You could put a skin on it? What are you using to clean it?

I don't use webcams so I'd rather increase the sexiness with a nicer screen.

Buffman · 22 Jul 2017 at 16:49

New centre speaker. Now got the matching tannoy eclipse 3 set (Inc rears).. Just need to get a subwoofer at Xmas..

Steedie · 22 Jul 2017 at 18:08

Stunning setup there! What is that TV stand?

Yes it's smooth metal. Feels just like the Macbook Pro.

Alcohol wipes will clean it up, but as soon as you touch it again there will be fingerprints... same happens on macbook, it's just less visible on silver.

I've ordered a D-Brand skin for the top - covers the logo too. I quite like the logo... it's just not the best business image when in client meetings. Gone with their titanium finish option.

While the XPS range are very good in the realms of Windows laptops... they don't come close to this. I've owned the 15" and ordered a few for other people in my last job. Having a bezel is also better for the wifi spectrum analyser I'll have to use from time to time

Small Converter box that takes RGB Scart and converts it to HDMI so I can use my old consoles on more modern screens. It claims to upscale etc. I'm no expert but it's doing a pretty good job imo

Hydration Carrier for my incoming Geigerrig Engine water badder. New multicam balaclava. Two multicam tube covers and some molle webbing clip dominators to tie the tubes down to my plate carrier.

Opsmen M51 Tactical PTT unit that connects to my radio and headset.

Looks good enough to me! Love that game too, one of my favorite GC titles.

Why thank you sir, it's AVF Burghley 1250. I like it a lot but takes a fair bit of alignment when putting it together to align the lower doors!

I missed out at the time

but holds up really well so far

Gopro and some mounts for airsoft use.

Picatinny rail mount for my pistols,rifles and for attaching to my molle rail.

Just waiting on for a clip on screen protector that will stop a airsoft BB to come.
