Dell’s XPS 13 is the most exciting laptop in a long time. It’s the best 13-inch Windows laptop out there, but a lot of people want a bigger screen. While 15-inch laptops are some of the most popular on the market, if you want a larger laptop what options do you have?

As I searched for the best Windows laptop, I never really considered larger, more powerful, laptops because I’m not usually a fan of bigger devices. Dell’s new XPS 15 has tempted me to try a laptop that’s a little bigger than I’m used to. It combines the same sleek design and edge-to-edge display that Dell used in the XPS 13, but everything is just larger. Dell has squeezed a 15-inch laptop into the frame of a 14-inch one, and it’s really designed to be a more powerful alternative to the smaller XPS 13.

Dell’s latest XPS 15 is going up against laptops like Apple’s MacBook Pro Retina, with enough power to play some games, edit video, or use graphically intensive apps on the go. Over the years, I’ve settled on 13-inch laptops for their portability and weight, but I’ve been using the XPS 15 for the past few weeks, and it’s one of the most powerful machines I’ve used in years. It’s a beast.

The XPS 15 looks like Dell took the XPS 13 and blew it up into a larger model. It’s almost identical on the outside, apart from the size and layout of the keyboard and trackpad. I love that Dell, for the most part, has stuck to the basics with the XPS 15. Just like the XPS 13, there’s no crazy hinge or flipping display, just a pure laptop. It’s refreshing, and it feels like a sturdy companion for all my work needs.

Dell has kept the combination of an aluminum finish and a wedge shape it used on the XPS 13. The real difference here is the bigger trackpad. Windows trackpads aren’t as bad as they used to be, but you still have to pick the right laptop, otherwise it’s very hit and miss. Dell improved its trackpad on the XPS 13, and it’s even better with the XPS 15. The slightly larger size helps a lot, and it feels like I can scroll forever on the glass pad. Dell’s soft finish makes it really comfortable to use, and I didn’t notice any weird cursor issues during my testing. I hope every laptop maker gets this right in 2016. Dell’s XPS 15 trackpad feels as big and smooth to use as Apple’s MacBook Pro Retina.
