However, I just recently sold my 2011 Macbook Pro (they do hold their value well) and bought the new Dell XPS 13 with "infinity display".

It is the best laptop I have ever owned. Build quality has really caught up. It is my first experience with Windows 8.1 and I don't really mind it at all. The free upgrade to 10 will be nice but I will probably do it right at the end of the year-long offer to let them work out bugs and such.

Oh, and I bought the laptop from the Microsoft Store as a signature edition...that is the only way to go...very minimal bloatware and it works great.

Oh and count me in the group that loves the SSD drive. The computer boots up in about 10 seconds and applications like Word/Excel start up in about 3 seconds. I am happy to store large files on a USB 3.0 external device.
I have updated from win7 to win10 preview it runs a lot better than I expected. Performance wise it beats win7 and so far I have had no problems with app compatibility with whatever apps I have used . Has given my HTPC a new life. I was thinking about replacing it now might just change the hard drive to SSD drive.
