The XPS 15z has a strong design, a beautiful 1080p LCD, and speed for the money. We had some quibbles, but its CPU/GPU muscle and long battery life make this a fine all-purpose machine. ...

It's still not thinner than the 15-inch MacBook Pro, and in our high-end $1,500 configuration, we'd expect longer battery life and a better GPU
Claiming to be the world's thinnest Windows laptop, the Dell XPS 15z is a sharp-looking package with upgradable high-end features and a reasonable $999 starting price.
