Xps 15 2 in 1 vs Lenovo Yoga y720

[Twigjit]

Hey everyone. I am currently in the market for a laptop and at this point i'm down to deciding between two of them. I know I want a 2 in 1 design and I have found the specs I want in the New Dell Xps 15 2 in 1 and the Lenovo Yoga y720 15. Both of these are very well reviewed and I have looked at everything I can about them. From what I can tell the largest difference between them is that the Dell has marginally improved performance due to newer components and its screen is 100 nits brighter.

What I would like to know from this community is if you all believe that the extra brightness in the screen about 370(dell) vs 280(Lenovo) and the minor performance increase is worth the about $600 increase. Really I feel its about my experience, or lack thereof, in laptop screen brightness in everyday use.

Thanks for taking a moment to answer this for me and help me make my decision.

For everyday use, 250+nits is more than enough. Also, XPS 15 2 in 1 is lacking reviews, yes it has a slightly faster GPU but unknown thermals. IMO the Yoga 720 15 is good enough.

Anyone else want to weigh in?

Wait for reviews man, no one knows how good or bad the new XPS is yet.

For the $600 premium, I'd want much more than just a minor performance bump and an allegedly brighter display.

 

Get the Lenovo and forget about it.

I'm also waiting for more 2018 xps 15 reviews to drop.
