Comment on Dell XPS 15.6" QHD+ (3200x1800)

Comments

Hope they got the touchpad right. None of the win8 laptops/ultrabooks so far match macbooks.

I have the previous generation aluminum XPS 15 and its trackpad is the best I have used on any PC laptop so far.

The laptop is basically a Macbook Pro clone and the trackpad holds its own. It's the solid build of a Macbook Pro minus the (unwanted) Mac experience. The only place it really falls short is battery life.

The trick is to disable the gestures in the Synaptic driver and install TwoFingerScroll. Once you do that, the trackpad feels just as smooth as a Macbook.
