    Picked up an XPS 15, so far loving it. The quality is amazing, I am loving the carbon fiber and aluminum construction. The SSD is blazing fast.
    The small footprint is awesome. Battery life is not great so far.

    Hope it runs well for gaming.
    Specs: i7 6700HQ
    GTX 960M
    16GB RAM
    1TB SSD
    84WHR Battery
    Windows 10

    Make sure you undervolt and overclock :)

    I have the i5/UHD and have it beating the i7 version in 3dmark13. ( 4234 firestrike vs 3908)
