It is not only the hardware that puts the XPS 15 amongst the best laptops on the market at the dawn of every year. It looks great, it feels great, it certainly has an amazing set of displays to choose from. However, when you go back in time, you will see...

The G7 15 7590 is positioned at an interesting spot. It houses similar Core i9, GeForce RTX, and IPS/OLED options as the higher-end Alienware m15 R2 but for a lower starting price. If you want the power of an Alienware laptop but are otherwise turned off...

So how does the XPS 15 7590 measure up against the competition? The two systems with specs closest to it are probably HP's Spectre 360 15 and Apple's MacBook Pro. While the Spectre 360 15 reportedly offers slightly better color reproduction than the XPS 1...

Even without a dedicated GeForce graphics card, the Dell XPS 15 is a good multimedia notebook. Those who don't want to play mobile games or plan to use an external graphics card at their desk at home are better served with the iGPU version anyway. Particu...

There is very little not to like about the refreshed Dell XPS 15. Dell took an already excellent laptop design and made a few tweaks, such as repositioning the webcam from the bottom to the top of the display, just as it had already done on its XPS 13 lin...

Even at the entry level price, the XPS 15 7590 is an expensive laptop. Boost the configuration with an OLED screen, plus plenty of RAM and SSD storage, and you're looking at a serious price tag. For that money, we think Dell should provide more connectivi...
The Dell XPS 15 is always one of my favorite laptops of the year, because it has that just right level of power. It comes with a 45W Intel Core processor and dedicated graphics, along with a beautiful 4K screen. And that's just what you get with every mod...
