I've had very mixed luck with this machine. The pros listed in the very positive reviews are right on--it is fast, it is sleek and light etc etc. However, I've experienced some serious problems with this machine:
1. The drivers for the video card are incredibly buggy, and routinely lead to the screen blanking out (this is a well known problem, and it still hasn't been satisfactorily fixed).
2. Windows vista has never worked well. I'm not sure if this is a Vista issue or a hardware issue, but this machine and this OS have not worked well together (e.g. I initially could not shut the machine off except by using the power button--vista has a lot of shutdown options, all of them simply froze the computer; the machine still crashes, freezes and slows down at random).
3. I've had problems with the Wi-Fi -- it's simply not that great at picking up a signal. On several occasions I've had to borrow a laptop to get online; other machines were picking up the signal but not this one.
4. The computer regularly simply stops working. It won't start, or if it does it won't boot. I suspect it was simply set up very poorly by whatever Dell tech put things together. I paid a computer technician a couple hundred bucks to go through the system, and this made things a lot better--but it made the problems less frequent rather than cured them.
A simple summary of my experience with this machine can be summed up by this fact: I'm writing this review on my wife's MacBook because my XPS is currently in its "I'm not working today" mode.
I've been a huge Dell customer over the years--this is my fifth machine ordered from Dell. There will not be a sixth.
