What’s peoples views on Lenovo ATM given there have been a few PR things happen in the last 12 months…? price v performance v reliability?

There's also a review on cnet for the 2015 xps 13 which has some interteresting performance comparisons with a few of the other options: http://www.cnet.com/au/products/dell-xps-13-2015/2/ T.

Also found a discount code so can get 15% off making the $2400 one down to $2040 On Thu, Aug 27, 2015 at 10:57 AM, Stephen Price <step...@perthprojects.com> wrote: Harvey Norman. I had an old Samsung that died 2 1/2 years after I bought it and I had their new for old warranty. I don't usually get the in store warranties but for some reason I had. I basically got in store credit for an equivalent spec'd machine. I added some extra ($500) to bring the specs up the the top model and was kind of impressed with that warranty so got it again on the new one. (this time around it's not for equivalent spec, its the original purchase price as store credit which is better because the specs get better over time but the price seems to stay constant). I think JB-HiFi also have that laptop but the QHD screen version might be exclusive to Harvey Norman (or it was at the time?)

What I like about it is that it's a laptop first that can flip around into tablet. Compared to surface pro which is tablet first that can be used like a laptop. Subtle but important difference (for me). Also it's mistaken for a MacBook because of its aluminium build. Great battery but not the 12.5 hrs they claim on their advertising. (It never is!) Really happy with it. Only thing I'd change would be dark keys not silver. If you put backlight on keys during the day you can't see the letters. My only complaint. Oh more ram as an option but 8gb is highest they go which is enough but always love more On Wed, 26 Aug 2015 at 2:45 pm, Tom Rutter <therut...@gmail.com> wrote: c# web dev mainly, 13-14" maybe 15, approx macbook pro weight.
