I have £1200 to spend on a laptop; the Dell XPS 16 seems to be the best option at present.
I need the laptop for Developing programs (some light gaming, video editing, office work). I used Visual Studio mainly for dev work. I read that HDD speed makes the biggest difference in terms of performance for VS2008, so I want a laptop with SSD.
The Dell stuido XPS 16 comes in at just over £1200 for one with the 256GB SSD.
Couple of questions:
1) Does anyone have any alternatives to the Dell?
2) Are there any owners here of the Dell XPS 16 with SSD?
3) Whats the best way to get a good deal on a Dell? At the moment it has £300 off until the 2nd, so am I going to find it harder getting more off?
