it depends on which version your talking about. I am talking about the 2015
model an not the older  models of the dell xps.that's the version that i
have with no spinning drives, 512 SSD and no dvd drive. As that's   the way
that i opted to  configure it on the dell site. I also have a dell latitude
that alsso does a good job. I would never  look at lanova due to the fact
that they have been caught with placing spyware on to  their machines. I
don't know  that much about asus  laptops so I cant comment there.  But I
have had a bunch  of laptops over  the past 20 years an I have had dell,
hp,Toshiba , sony  all business grade computers an not consumer ones. That
is wher you probably have issues is tha your looking at consumer grade
machines which use cheaper components then the business grade ones.i always
purchase the business grade model and I have not had any issue with any o
the ones that I have mentioned .  I know hta sony was purchase by Microsoft
so I owuldn to be surprised ththathe vio line up will continue under the
micrsofot bbrand a far as a mid range surface book line up.
