Hi,
I'm looking for a new web development laptop, something small / light but that can run Visual Studio & IIS / WAMP / VM's for different environments easily.
I am looking at the Dell XPS-13 or maybe the 15, with a QHD screen with 16GB ram. I wondered if anyone else had looked at these and found anything better for a similar price? I don't really want a MacBook. I've considered a Surface Pro, due to size and portability but not sure how good the keyboards would be using them all day? The Eve-V looks like a good competitor to the Surface Pro, but probably won't be out till the new year, and there are no prices yet. I don't think the Surface Book is on par unless you spend £1000 more, but I might be wrong.
The HP Spectre has been touted as similar but I'm not bothered about the whole 2-1 set up, and a traditional laptop is fine.
Anyone bought anything good recently?
