  • Beim XPS 15 9550 von Dell gefällt mir alles, bis auf das Gewicht, aber dazu später. Das Display, auch in der Full-HD-Variante, wirkt durch den schmalen Rahmen größer als es eigentlich ist. Stellt man ein typisches 14-Zoll-Notebook daneben, wirken beide Ge...

  • helles InfinityEdge-Display mit sehr dünnem Rahmen, QuadCore-CPU plus dedizierte Nvidia-Grafik, sehr schnelles M.2-SSD-Modul
  • Aluminium-Gehäuse wird unter Last spürbar wärmer, nicht erweiterbar
  • Mit dem XPS 15 9550-3813 hat Dell ein sehr leistungsstarkes Ultrabook geschaffen und es dennoch geschafft, das Ganze in einem sehr edlen Karbon-/ Aluminiumgehäuse unterzubringen. Bei diesem Ultrabook kommt ein InfinityEdge-Display mit sehr dünnem Displayr...

  • Alles in allem bietet das Dell XPS 15 9550 ein fast unschlagbares Gesamtpaket, dem es weder an Verarbeitung, Konnektivität oder Bedienungsqualität mangelt, während das „InfinityEdge“-Gimmick auf jeden Fall seine Daseinsberechtigung hat. Die Intel Core i7...

  • Viel Leistung, aber nicht für alles Dell selbst spricht in Bezug auf das XPS 15 vom schnellsten Vertreter der XPS-Reihe und weckt damit gewisse Erwartungen. Auf dem Papier werden die durchaus auch erfüllt. Schon das Grundmodell wird mit einem Vierkerne...

  • Nach dem Test von Dells XPS 13 im März 2015 waren wir sehr auf das neue XPS 15 gespannt - und wurden enttäuscht. Während das kleinere Modell schlicht exzellent ist, weist zumindest unser Testmuster des XPS 15 zwei klare Schwachpunkte auf: die geringe Akku...

  • Snelle machine - start in 10 seconden, Batterijduur 5 tot 6 uur (kantoorgebruik), Geweldig scherp 4k scherm, Mooi design, Nauwelijks bloatware, Thunderbolt poort (toekomstvast)
  • Geen VGA- of Ethernetpoort -> DA200 adapter kopen, Stevig prijskaartje, Dell Update werkt niet, Slechte kwaliteitscontrole door Dell, Bedroevende support van Dell, Chin cam (plaatsing webcam), SD-kaartlezer werkt alleen na herstart
  • Fijne, krachtige high-end laptop met geweldig scherp scherm. Zakelijke applicaties draaien flitsend en voor hedendaagse games draait deze laptop zijn handen niet om. Wees je wel bewust van kwalliteitsissues - deze heeft Dell (nog) niet op orde en hun supp...
