We’ve been through 4 Intel 7th gen XPS 13 laptops and just today took delivery of an Intel 8th gen XPS 13. They have all had exceedingly loud coil whine and the new 8th gen’s touch pad rattles when you move your finger over it. Dell also kept sending us rose gold with windows 10 home even though we bought silver with Pro but that’s another matter…
I’m done. So done. We have been dealing with this fiasco for 4 months with our Dell rep and I’m over it.
What would you gerbils recommend as a suitable replacement?
Things I’d like:
Backlit keyboard. 13inch 1080p screen (no touch). 8 GB of ram. I7 (8th gen would be nice). SSD. Need to be able to do Miracast, though I think all of them do by default.
I really liked the XPS13. The 7th gen ones were solid built and felt great. The edge was a bit “sharp” where you rested your hands to type but it wasn’t a deal breaker. The webcam that points up your nose was a dumb idea but I don’t really use the webcam so it wasn’t a problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
