    Hello everyone,
    I'm just planing on buying a portable laptop this year, and i decided to try a dell.
    I've decided on the Studio XPS13, I'm going to be using it for school so I just had a few questions for owners. FWI- I'm planing on buying the premium screen

    How is the XPS screen in low light condition? any eye strain?
    How clear is text? my courses are heavy on online journals so i'm going to be reading for possibly hours
    I currently own an XBRITE on my Vaio so if anyone has owned both can anyone compare

    I have SXPS13 with the led screen. I would describe it as good but not exceptional. It's very clear and bright with no visible grainyness. One problem is that it's double glossy so it tends to reflect light quite a lot but it is bright enough to compensate. Angles are good to very good, colors are average. I have not owned sony laptops with xbrite but I have used some. They are clearly superior, but the XPS screen is also good.
