    Best choice for portability and power? XPS 12, 13, 14 or 15?

    I'm looking for something that I can take with be 2-3 times per day, that could power dual monitors and allow me to edit videos and multitask heavily with programs like photoshop.

    My xps m1330 was great but it bricked on a bios update, so I bought my dream laptop, an Alienware m14x. However that's been a huge disappointment. Beside the fact that its been buggy, the hours and hours of support line bs, and the under performance, the thing is just too big and bulky to be portable.

    Most of the time it just sits in the home office as a backup desktop, or I take it with me and end up just using my phone.

    Anyone have a recommendation for something ultra portable that packs a punch?

    Budget is up to $2500

    Thanks guys!
