Dell XPS 15 review: A bigger version of the best PC laptop [Updated]
The Dell XPS 15.
Laptop size is a personal preference. Having owned numerous 15- and 13-inch laptops and used various 11-inch ones, 13 inches is very much my sweet spot: a big-enough screen that I can have a bunch of open windows and a small-enough package that it's not too burdensome to carry around or...

LAS VEGAS — When I tried out Oculus’ virtual reality technology this past summer, it was the most fun I’ve ever had playing video games. My time with the newest HTC Vive headset may have topped that experience, though. Here at the...
