Ryzen is for Programmers

Interesting.

I have a 1700X/16GB/SSD build and a Dell XPS 15 9560, both of which are very fast, but the Ryzen just flies!

Is the XPS 15 good? I went on Amazon to buy one, but the reviews are 50% 1-star, and I got scared.

I have an $3000 XPS13 and it's the worst computer I ever had. Very bad build quality. Too hot so glue dissolves. Makes weird noises with load (or browser scrolling). Fan broken in no time. Performance not what I had hoped for.

I have had 0 issues with it except some Audio stuttering due to DPS Latency issues.

I'm getting a replacement (Model Up actually, Dell did a 12% off offer) so we'll see how it is. I look forward to UHD Touch & Fingerprint Reader.

Thank you, I got the smaller (not base) model but added the fingerprint reader, as it was only $20ish and it might prove useful. I'm glad you had no issues.
