Great fun article, and (but) sorry to be a nerd, but Haswell ia 4th Gen not 3rd. Sandy Bridge was 2nd Ivy Bridge was 3rd… you can see where I’m going with this.

In reply to Chris. I've never actually played with the Air, and everytime I play with a Mac I get terribly excited by the icons that get bigger as you mouse over them. I imagine I'd never actually get any work done, transfixed by the beauty of the interface. Luckily that's not a problem with Windows 8.

Droll banter. I like it. Although I misread it as troll banter the first time round. Still, either works.

I had the same problem in Thailand, trying to figure out how to get hold of one – ended up waiting till I got back to France. If you’re not in a rush though, I’d hold off a month or so and see if Dell refreshes the line with the Haswell launch in June 🙂

Holy smokes – I’m SOLD! Both on the Dell AND on your delightfully droll banter (trust that I just punched the RSS button on your blog).

Now the only question is – how to get my hands on one here in Vietnam…

Having played with both the Dell XPS and the Macbook Air (as you know Laurence) I’d have to side with the Air on this from my personal usage. Mind you if you’d be able to put OSX on the Dell I might be swayed, oh and the mac trackpad.

The Dell is a great little bit of kit and the flip screen is sure to amaze but having used Windows all my life in the tech world I’m now an OSX convert as it just works better for my usage. Windows 8 just feels like a step backwards after a somewhat decent release of Windows 7.
