Thanks will try that. Did you have any issue with your wifi driver? I got the august 2012 update and it stopped working. Using the 2011 version.

Will check the RAM as well. Edit: crucial is saying the max memory for T420s is 8GB.

qh

I haven't updated any of the drivers since I got it TBH.

Decided on the XPS 15 L521x, it has full HD 15 inch screen. 8GB upgrdable to 16 and you can upgrde the 32GB SSD to 256GB, comes in just above a grand.

What put me off the previous generation XPS15 (and this one is the same) is the silly half sized cursor keys, obviously copied from you know who with their style over function mantra. If you spend your days editing code, you use the cursor keys a lot (or at least I do), and I think that would annoy me.

Which is why I bought the previous-previous XPS15 (L520x), even though it's somewhat bulky by modern standards. It is however, very fast, but of course not buying the latest meant I was able to get an i7 + SSD for my £600.
