Hey, my previous laptop just died and I need a new laptop for school and programming. I was looking at the dell inspiron 7559 but am somewhat put off by the driver problems. Does anyone have any other suggestions for around the same price or less? Thanks in advance.

What driver problems are you talking about?!?!

 

Additionally, what is your budget?

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

If you are refering to the skylake and windows 10 driver issues: those have been resolved at this point.

Thanks for the info, I was just worried because in the reviews on Amazon they were saying it had quite a few driver problems.

Thanks, then I will probably end up getting it. Also the guy above said that all the driver/software problems were resolved.

I find the way amazon presents reviews to be a bit strange. I almost seems to me that it is either going to show you all positive reviews for a product or all negative reviews.
