Was just about to post on this topic until I saw this thread. So many years ago I took CUK's advice. I got a Dell XPS 15 and it sure has served me well, the main pain point being the resolution is really annoying. I have a Surface Lapto from my current Client Co and it seems to be a much better fit for my usage:
- SSMS
- Visual Studio/Visual Studio Code
- MS Teams
I'm thinking to make a switch to Surface Laptop from the XPS 15 mainly cos the resolution of the Surface Pro appears better suited to Microsoft products.Last edited by NorthWestPerm2Contr; 17 November 2021, 09:20.Comment
