I just got myself a Dell precision 5510 with Ubuntu out of the box. A lot more capable than the most power full current macbook pro, weighs slightly less then the macbook pro from 2009 I am typing this on (moving files across to the new dell)

After 16 years of Mac use I don't regret the switch.

Is this a 15" laptop?

I recently realized that a modern 15" can be much more ergonomic yet almost as small and light as a 13" from a couple of years back.

It is 15" screen wise. Lighter than a 2009-2013 13" MacBookPro.

I've seen the precision 5510 and while I wouldn't say it is beautiful, it is really small for a 15". At 2Kg (with the large battery), it is still heavy, though.

What is the battery life of the smaller-battery configuration?

I wouldn't care less about its beauty if it has a good keyboard, a good screen and not awful battery life...

With that said, you are the first one ive heard saying the new dell is not good looking.
