960M not futureproof
The better configurations can cost a lot
While the keyboard could be bigger and the touchpad has a floaty feel
Battery is non removable even with the enclosed motherboard
Screen flickering at low brightness
1 Year warranty is disappointing considering the price tag
Abstract: The recently introduced series of Dell XPS 15 9550 Touch and Non-Touch laptops has been getting a lot of attention. These devices are loaded with high-tech goodness -- in fact, there's no doubt in my mind that Dell served them up targeting would-be MacBoo...

looks and light weight we've come to expect, Ridiculously fast processor, Thunderbolt 3
No SSD option in the cheapest configurations, No Windows Hello biometrics, Weirdly inconsistent performance from the Nvidia graphics, at least in our benchmarks

Dell XPS 15 9550 UHD/i7/512GB, courtesy of Dell GermanyOne bug after another? After the entry-level XPS 15 (FHD/i5/hybrid) could not meet the high expectations, we were careful with the more expensive and better-equipped XPS 15 with a UHD panel, NVMe-SSD...
No competition as a lightweight and thin gaming laptop with such quality for its price (around $1000$1100 new), Good gaming and 3D performance for the price with Skylake I56300HQ and GTX 960M 2GB, Very good build quality, very rigid body, very rigid outer
Fans are noticeable audible on moderate load and even more on gaming load, GPU clocks won't get as high as in other laptops like the VN7592G (but not that crucial for gaming), Speakers are just a bit above the average, if at all (but not too bad), Keyboar
I'll try to keep it short this time. The Dell XPS 15 9550 I5/960M version is a very good machine in my opinion, more than the usual $1000 gaming laptops – way more thin & lightweight, much better build quality, display has much higher contrast than the ot...

visible display flickering at the lowest brightness level, mediocre color accuracy ex-works, CPU performance cannot be utilized completely, CPU throttling on battery power, massive throttling when you stress CPU and GPU, faulty fan control after battery
You might be disappointed if you expected high-end performance from the XPS 15 at any time and in every situation. The XPS 15 not only reduces the CPU clock to 1.6 GHz on battery power, but it also acts sluggish, which will certainly not please power user...

Gorgeous 15" 4K IPS Infinity Edge Display, Carbon Fiber And Machined Aluminum, Great Performance, Powerful, Light, Stylish
Relatively Pricey
The performance and capabilities of Dell's new XPS 15 can be summed up fairly easily with one word: "balanced." This is a notebook that has no real weakness and a lot of strengths. In standard compute tasks, the Intel quad-core Core i7-6700HQ processor in...
4K screen hits battery life hard, Very expensive in review configuration, Ethernet and VGA connectivity require an extra dongle, Webcam placement isn't ideal for video chats
Dell's redesigned XPS 15 delivers much of what we liked about its smaller 13-inch sibling, plus one of the nicest 4K screens we've seen. But all those bright pixels make it tough to achieve all-day battery life. And while it starts at $999, it's way pric...
