      As an IT guy, recent (past five years) XPS laptops we gave to execs were pretty bad. Smaller, yes, but I found the Latitudes were better in terms of build quality. It is a small sample size though as most execs preferred MacBooks.

        Latitude is superior to the XPS line for business.

        And man did they have a bad run of XPS’s there for a while with their batteries swelling up.

          I worked in IT and those latitudes were no exception in my experience. Earlier models were good but we had to replace so many e7000 series batteries bulging out the bottom.

          They should replace the XPS name with the Longitude. And then the Altitude.

      Pretty happy with the G series, but only because the XPS series for replaced by it in terms of bang for buck. And honestly, the G series we got are pretty good.
