I am looking for a laptop to replace a 2 year old HP G60. I was recommended the HP Envy 14 and I'm quite impressed. However the Dell XPS 15z also looks impressive. I want to spend between 1000-1200 and the main things I'm looking for are performance and memory that will last the next 3 years of college at least, aluminum body, and battery life that will allow me to do work between classes. I would like to hear from people that own one of these machines or anyone that has a different suggestion. No Macbooks.HP envy 14 or Dell XPS 15z?
XPS
The screen: some one may complain this laptop never comes with radiance display anymore. Actually, the bright view screen is great, and it's even brighter and has more vibrate color than my wife's macbook pro.
The touchpad: This sandy bridge refresh version has a nearly as good as macbook touchpad. Multigesture, two finger scroll and pinch zoom all work smoothly. Just remember don't update the synaptics drive. New driver doesn't support double-tab to turn off touchpad feature.HP envy 14 or Dell XPS 15z?
Neither buy a Toshiba, and tell me how it worked 5 years down the road.
It depends on your configurations. Generally, though, go for HP.
Also, just a suggestion, take a look at Lenovo Thinkpad T410
