Hi all,
I currently have a Dell XPS 15, but it's 4 or 5 years old now, the sd slot is knackered, the case is splitting open from being dropped, and the battery is shot (and the capacity of a replacement isn't seen properly so it randomly goes to sleep with low battery and I can then turn it back on for an hour or two before it dies!)
Anyway, I'm not really a gamer, but I do photo and video editing. I've already seen gpu memory errors in Resolve as my XPS only has 4gb and 4k editing really needs 8gb. To get that in a dell needs an expensive alienware machine though...
So I've come up with the below - opinions? Is the recoil metal or plastic-fantastic?
