Sleek and has one of the best screens we've seen in a workhorse PC. The only downsid
I guess the question comes down to who is the XPS 15 catered towards? I think someone who is into stock trading or spreadsheets will appreciate the extra vertical screen real-estate, or if you are someone who uses programs like MATLAB or Autodesk Maya or...
