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
Exemplary build quality and design, Incredibly thin (11-17 mm), light (2.0 kg for the touch version) and mobile chassis, Great input devices (comfortable keyboard, accurate and responisve touchpad), Impeccable screen quality with 100% sRGB and Adobe RGB c
Reduced performance and even throttling when running CPU and GPU-intensive tasks, The fan in the cooling system is louder than we would like, The soft-touch matte plastic used for the interior attracts fingerprints and smudges, A bit too pricey even if go
Dell has yet again presented an impeccable build quality and design featuring anodized aluminum, rubberized finish and carbon fiber base under the hood resulting in sturdy construction, lightweight chassis (just 2 kg) and incredibly small physical dimensi...
Oh, that Infinity display! Small and slim for a 15" quad core laptop. Runs relatively cool and quiet. Decent battery life. Powerful with good NVIDIA GTX 960M dedicated graphics
We'd have liked more ports, 4K display is a challenge to calibrate, desireable configs are expensive, bugs that took several months to squash
As with the XPS 13 earlier this year, Dell has hit a home run. This extremely powerful portable is smaller and lighter than any other 15.6" laptop in its performance class. Build quality and materials are top notch and the carbon fiber keyboard deck is as...
Great 4K touch display, Solid design and quality, Good overall performance, Long battery life
Cramped keyboard layout, Windows screen scaling still erratic, Gets warm under heavy usage
A couple of slightly rough edges can't detract from Dell's desirable multimedia laptop, which challenges Apple's Retina MacBook Pro with a stunning 4K touch screen and 512GB of solid-state storage. Read More…...
Slim, light and fast quad core laptop. Excellent UHD 4K Sharp IGZO display, very good keyboard, top materials
Expensive, not all programs play nicely with 4K displays
The Dell XPS 15 is definitely the closest thing you'll find to a Windows 15" Retina MacBook Pro. It goes beyond in terms of serviceability, display resolution and ports (one could argue about ports since the Mac has two Thunderbolt 2 ports, but Thunderbol...
We were expecting to be impressed by the big, beautiful Dell XPS 15 and it didn't let us down. Not only is it powerful, it's also made from high-grade materials that just feel great. This is the first high-powered laptop that we think provides a great W...

Premium look and feel, Stellar 4K InfinityEdge display, Core i7, SSD, DDR4 is a potent mix, GTX 960M has some gaming potential, Comfortable keyboard and trackpad, Keeps quiet during everyday use
Disappointing battery life, 4K upgrade is pricey, Webcam position not ideal
How do you go about making the ultimate 15in Windows laptop? For Dell, the formula turned out to be disarmingly simple: take the smaller XPS 13, make it bigger, add a discrete GPU and a gorgeous 4K display, and Bob's your uncle.The resulting XPS 15 is...
The XPS has the best screen on the market, powerful hardware suitable for nearly any task, good thermals, is upgradeable, and futureproofed by the inclusion of a Thunderbolt 3 port.
The Broadcom WLAN card is currently a broken mess, there are occasional issues like BSODs or disappearing wireless cards that hurt reliability, the battery life only just reaches “acceptable” levels with a 6cell battery, and it's expensive
The XPS 15 9550 has an unrivaled screen, fast hardware, and a killer design. But 5 months after its launch, it seems we're all still Dell's beta testers. This article reviews the XPS 15 9550 and tallies up the issues that haven't gone away...
Powerful, Superb 4K screen with hardly any frame, Backlit keyboard, Good touchscreen, Slim and stylish, simple brushed aluminium finish
Camera at bottom of screen, making angle odd, Keyboard feels a little flimsy for such a high spec machine
This top end laptop is one to buy if you want a great touchscreen and powerful performance. It's not the most affordable or lightweight, though, and some might miss having a CD/DVD drive...
