The SmallBizWindows Laptop of the Year 2016: Dell XPS 15

2016-22 - laptopThough I love the 13-inch class of notebook computers, and my 12” laptop, sometimes, I find myself lusting for the added screen space afforded users by 15”-class of laptops.

(I won’t carry a 17-incher as my daily driver, so don’t even ask about them!)

Based on the fantastic performance and desirability of the Dell XPS 13, I really looked forward to their XPS 15.

I obtained a unit back in December, and from it. I found out that Dell has upped the ante.

The Dell XPS 15
My review unit came with an Intel Core 17, 16GB of RAM, a beautiful touchscreen, and a 522 GB SSD.

I obtained this unit for a review to satisfy a client’s requirement for replacing his entire inventory of laptops, for which the optimal screen size was 15”.

Initially thinking I would use the device for only a few weeks, I ended up using it for the past 11 weeks.

This is a very good, very capable laptop.3

It is powerful, very well designed, lightweight enough, and with excellent battery life.

It is the class of this space, and as such, we are bestowing the SmallBizWindows Laptop of the Year Award on it.

As a result, the Dell XPS 15 was presented the SmallBizWindows Superstar Award.
