Abstract: Dell's XPS 15Z slimline laptop is an impressive 25mm thickness; not quite Macbook Air thin, but it’s easily the most compact of the multimedia laptops we tested in our mid-2011 roundup.The 15Z boasts the highest clock speed of the models tested, but th...
The Dell is equally comfortable as a desktop replacement or a travelling companion, though perhaps at over 2.5kg you might not want to carry it around for long periods too often. The price tag of almost £1200 is high, but despite our reservations about...

Almost everything, Brilliant screen, Tons of power, Solid and attractive body.
What's to hate?, Slightly shallow keyboard if we must, No Blu-ray
Value for money, power, build quality and performance, Dell's XPS 15z is a stunning laptop

There’s no denying that the specs and the real-life performance of this machine are admirable. And even the lowest budget option of the three is still reasonable powerful considering the £899 price level. Both the design and the internals give every in...
Build quality disappointing in places, Unimpressive battery life, Unattractive keyboard
The Dell XPS 15z offers great performance with an attractive, slim design. If you're after a MacBook Pro but can't quite get the cash, this laptop may be a good alternative....
