scorown··on The Popularity of the 4.7″ iPhone
> I don't get it! My hands are probably bigger than 95% of all humans, and I don't think a phone needs to be much bigger than the SE.

I believe bigger phones are first computers for a lot of people, and they never graduate to owning a PC.

scorown··on XPS 13 developer edition 7th generation available
My first Dell as developer machine is XPS 15 9560 but it is in no way a developer machine: - The thunderbolt dock wire out and laptop USB C are on opposite hands. I have to place my laptop on top of the dock like a giant book resting on a brick.

- Awful coil whine on the power adapter.

- Touchpad is annoying to use when clicking moves the finger resulting in wrong place click.

- Had to replace Killer wifi card with Intel's, Dell's support was top notch here.

- If you don't have nails, opening lid can be an unusual experience, especially when laptop is sitting on top of the dock.

Coming from Thinkpad W530 and miss it but our company switched from Lenovo to Dell

So glad I am not the only one with that issue on my 9560. I also found out that if I put CPU under stress, the whine goes away. So when I am using the adapter, I run HeavyLoad on 3 cores and that takes whine away, with enough computing power for happy compiling.
