I'm looking for new laptop for max $1100. I'm gonna use it mainly for rendering and AutoCAD projects, maybe playing some new games from time to time. I thought about something with: i7 processor, 8 gb ram and 15,6' screen (i dont want 17' - it's too big imo). Dell XPS L502x is the winner atm but I u got better one please share info Smile

Also i got some question about 15,6' LCD screens - i found out two Dell models - one has native res 1920x1080 and second one is max 1366x768. Which is better for things i wrote above? Can u change res to 1366x768 on the 1920x1080 screen? I'm really newb if u ask me about laptops so thank You very much for any tip and help Smile

I was going to recommend Dell XPS 15 but you already know about it so... Very Happy

Regarding the screens, the 1366 is a glossy one, while the other one is much higher quality (in addition to the higher resolution).
And of course you can change the resolution, but the question is why?

well i got 22' screen on my DesktopPC and max res i can apply is 1680x1050 and i got feeling everything is small and now we r talking about smaller 15,6' screen with max 1920 and i can only guess i will have problem to click the right sooo small object for example in AutoCAD. Hmmm... i think the best solution is to go to the market and compare both 1366 and 1920 reses on 15,6'.

I have laptop with 1366x768 and it was biggest mistake I have ever made.

I can't stand that resolution.

Well, depends. But if you are using a properly written software, you can increase your DPI settings (which increases the size of pretty much everything but on the same 1920 resolution).
