The extra Gorilla glass makes it heavier. Carbon fiber is used in the bottom because Dell doesn't have the machinery to make the bottom aluminum. So it has to compromise with Carbon fiber. Carbon fiber cools the laptop worse than aluminum since it doesn't transmit heat as well as aluminum. So be careful about overheating your Dell.

In sunlight, forget about them - they simply go black. The biggest problem for HDTV is color fidelity. Hollywood has standardized on plasmas from Panasonic because they have the best skin tones. OLED displays make everything look cartoonish. It is bad enough to have cartoonish skin tones on LCD TVs. But OLED makes things worse. Yes, the colors are colorful. But if they are not realistic, forget about it. OLED displays do not do well in brightly lit rooms. In sunlight, forget about them – they simply go black.

Then you will have power to spare without the compromises that Android has.
