Should I wait for the new Dell XPS 15?

[Qwizh]

Hello Tom's Hardware community,

so I was looking into the Dell XPS 15 and I was determined to buy it untill last week when Microsoft showed off the new Dell XPS 15 with infinity display like the XPS 13.

It looks like a really nice laptop but since it's not officially announced yet it so might take a while to come out, at least until after the Windows 10 launch.

I can wait until 29 Juli but I'd like to have a new laptop by the beginning of the new school year in august.

Can anybody give me advice on wether to wait for the new XPS 15 or to just buy the current one because I am really hoping for a better GPU in the next XPS 15.

Also do you guys think it will have the new Intel Skylake CPU?

Kind regards,
Qwizh

WAIT!
If you're still waiting, keep on waiting for the new model (borderless display). The current one has some build issues. I had to call the warranty like 4 times... Plus the design will be much improved and with smaller footprint.

XPS15 sounds nice. But after giving myself an ulcer trying to figure out a "usability" solution to the win8's on new HW I thankfully re-discovered buying low usage used laptops off ebay. Just bought a dell E6430u (ultrabook) with the better display, I7, SSD, back lite keyboard for a whopping $349, with the very VERY usable win7.

My stomach healed, my wallet is still fat and my fingers just love win7 on decent HW without a price tag.

I'm here thus it sort of qualifies me as a knowledgeable computer users yet I know of NO operating system feature that isn't in win7 (or XP for that mater) that contains such a productivity improvement that justifies learning a completely foreign (and crazed) window metaphore. Just buy cheap lightly used older HW at toss it when it breaks prices off ebay. Why buy a maintenance agreement on a $350 business class computer?

I've got to agree with curt504. I've bought three laptops in a row off eBay for gaming use. I don't buy gaming laptops, but rather workstation laptops that I "repurpose" for gaming. For some reason the prices on these laptops drop precipitously after 2-3 years, and at that point they have a higher price/performance ratio than most gaming laptops. Plus they're upgradeable...

The process is not problem-free. I've gotten duds off eBay, so I always make sure that the seller will guarantee them for at least 30 days. If a problem crops up during that time, I just return for a full refund. Sometimes you get lucky and end up with a laptop with a year or so left on the manufacturer's warranty.

When is the new dell xp15 going to be sold at my local best buy?

Is the trackpad glass-smooth or sandpaper-rough on the new Dell XPS 15?

I bought my wife a Dell about six months ago. Great machine, but the trackpad feels gritty to my fingers. Great specs on this machine. Just want to make sure about the trackpad. And how is overall use of that component, in your view?

Thanks.
