    If they can push the bar and price performance ratio in and above $800 category, that would be put a rapid change.

    Razer still the king, IMO - but they need some decent competition! Aorus are the closest, but still a ways off...

    I would love to see Dell put out a gaming-oriented XPS 13 or 15, but they probably don't want to cannibalise Alienware sales...

    To be fair the new XPS 15 is a pretty good gamer. It only has a GTX 960M, but the Skylake CPU and the sheer beauty make up for a lot.

    Oooh, good recc, thanks! That screen is damn nice also

    The Razer I have currently has a GTX 765M which is good for most of the games I need it to deal with... I would easily take a weaker GPU for double the battery life though!
