So i am trying to find the best replacement for my current macbook. Should be a windows laptop, 16+GB ram, i7, decent hdd speed and decent graphic card. Any real life experience welcome.
Came here to say this. Have the XPS 13, and have been very happy with it. However, wishing I would have go the 15 as a small footprint is less of a concern than I thought it would be, and I'd appreciate more screen RE.
If you want best build quality: Buy a mac (maybe not the newest generation if you want a lot of ports) and put Windows on it with Bootcamp. (no joke)
Maybe also look on Razer blade laptops http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade
I bought a Dell 7559. It's easy to upgrade with an M.2 SSD as the primary drive, and I upgraded to that and 16GB RAM first thing. Very happy with how responsive the system is. And it was all less than $1000 USD.
The latest Dell XPS 15 comes with a Nvidia 1050 card and is all round pretty well put together (assuming it has the same construction as the current xps)
If you want something with better graphics, I'd suggest one of the MSI gaming series:
