Dell's XPS 15 (version 7590) is a test of just how much hardware you can jam into a 4.2-pound laptop. This latest iteration includes up to an 8-core “overclockable” Core i9-9980HK and a discrete GeForce GTX 1650 card. That is a lot of hot hardware in a bo...
The Dell XPS 15 7590 takes an interesting position among laptops. The top-end CPU and GPU options say "gaming," and we've seen these parts scream—when installed in a 10.5-pound gaming laptop (13.5 pounds with the power brick.) In this tiny little 4.2-poun...

There's nothing like a trial by fire. So on my latest trip, I left my regular work laptop at home and grabbed the recently refreshed Dell XPS 15. With my destination more than 11,000km away from home and no backup machine to rely on, the XPS 15 was my com...

The new XPS 15 7590 makes a case for itself by sporting an optional OLED panel, Intel's latest 9th generation 6 and 8-core CPUs, Nvidia's GTX 1650 GPU, and, finally, an above-display webcam. As I wrote in an earlier editorial, however, whether or not to...

Yes. If you're looking for a 15-inch laptop, you won't find a better option than the XPS 15. The more affordable configurations offer a balance of value and performance. If you're a content creator, though, this OLED Core i9 model is the supercharged mach...

A good multimedia notebook. Dell is one of the few manufacturers that also offers its 15-inch premium notebook without a dedicated graphics card. Is the version with the integrated GPU perhaps even the better choice if you don't want to use your laptop fo...

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...

Dell often rides the bleeding edge, as it wastes little time arming its laptops and desktops with the latest hardware platforms available. At minimum, this means yearly refreshes of its popular product categories. So, right on cue, Dell has begun rolling...

Dell's XPS 15 laptops are high-end, high-spec machines with a starting price of £1,499 (inc. VAT; £1,249.17 ex. VAT), rising higher if you want an OLED display. As well as the OLED option (the first time this technology has made an appearance in an XPS la...
Solid build, Superb screen, if you can afford OLED, Up to 2TB of SSD storage, Good battery life...
Short on ports and connectors...
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...

Dell's new XPS 15 is a beast of a machine, as it tends to be. I always look at it as the ultimate prosumer laptop, packing a ton of power into a relatively thin and light body, although it's still not classified as a gaming PC or a mobile workstation.In t...
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...

The XPS 15 7590 with Core i9-9980HK and GTX 1650 is the fastest iteration of the XPS 15 yet — as it should be. On the other hand, it's also the slowest iteration of the i9-9980HK and GTX 1650 we've tested on a laptop thus far. There's a reason why you don...
