[Quiet Man Cometh]

Not sure what defines loud, until I hear it. I can hear mine running all the time, I just take it as a given. I don't much care about the screen border. Mine right now I suppose is pretty thick, with an inch or more on each side (more on top and bottom than sides).

I just assume that disc drives aren't the norm anymore, and I've only suffered once from it, when I needed one to use my tablet install software, so I borrowed my brother's external drive.

There are a few XPS 15s that I can see, but most seem to have the GTX 1050, and one with a 630. That lack of a number pad would irritate me though. It has the same weight listed as my Stealth, which is pretty cool.

Weight is an issue that I may just have to work around, which sucks. I already have one of the lightest you can get and it probably strained my buddy neck and shoulder muscles just toting it to one class and some errands on campus the other day.

It looks like, at the end of the day, so get something I figure I'll be happy with is going to cost me $2000, which is what I spent on this thing, so figure it shouldn't be surprised.

Looking forward to the day I can get a desktop without too much inconvenience Really, if it weren't for the video card dragging, I wouldn't get a new laptop at all right now.
