2018 Dell XPS 9570 Laptop, 15.6 UHD (3840 x 2160) InfinityEdge Touch Display, 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8750H, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, GeForce GTX 1050Ti, Fingerprint Reader, Windows 10 Home, Silver

Dells XPS 15 is a performance laptop aimed at those who need top-of-the line performance while on the go. When choosing a computer for work or college, it is essential to consider screen quality, performance, and build quality. As an experienced laptop user who has experience with multiple brands, I can attest that a device that performs well in all of these categories will result in an excellent experience for the user. The Dell XPS 15 rates highly in each of these categories and is a great choice for any user. Criteria 1: Screen Quality The XPS 15 has a 4k IPS touch-screen with 100% sRGB and InfinityEdge bezeling. The IPS screen displays brighter colors than other panels, and 100% sRGB ensures accurate color reproduction. This makes the Dell a great option if you are doing graphic design or any tasks that require color accuracy. The 4k screen resolution allows you to see text more clearly making the XPS perfect for multitasking. To deliver a 4k resolution in a laptop, the Dell must have impressive performance. Criteria 2: Performance With a top of the line Intel 8th Generation processor and GTX 1050ti graphics, the Dell can handle anything from video rendering to gaming. 16GB of DDR4 RAM coupled with the 8th generation processor allows you to heavily multitask. The graphics card powers the high-resolution screen with very little power consumption, increasing battery life. The XPS 15 packs a 512gb PCIe Solid State Drive allowing for quicker file access and faster reboots, which is necessary for a laptop because you will be turning it off more frequently than a desktop. Criteria 3: Build Quality The build quality of the XPS 15 is top notch. The bezels of the XPS are so thin that it may look fragile, but aluminum and textured plastic give you a sturdy, premium feel. It has seen multiple years of heavy use and a few small drops without an issue. The sides of the computer include all standard ports allowing you to connect to any device easily. Often overlooked, keyboard quality has a tremendous impact on your laptop experience. The XPS has a comfortable standard layout keyboard, with accurate key registration and a very responsive feel while typing. In multiple years, I have had no issue with the keyboard and eventually began to prefer it to typing on my home PC.

Love just about everything about this laptop except for the thermals. The temperature reaches high during idle which makes the fan always run killing the battery in the process. They should have gone with better thermals and 4 cores instead of 6.

I’m not leaving a full review, because I can’t unlock the XPS’s capabilities. I can not download the programs I need due to the WiFi chip. From previous reviews, I knew this was an issue before I bought it and I kinda thought Dell would correct the issue for PR reasons. So, as others have done, i’ve ordered the Intel chip to replace the Killer chip. I really was hoping I wouldn’t have this problem because it’s supposed to be an awesome computer. I also don’t want to wait on Dell for the easy fix.

It worked OK to start, but then.... The audio started malfunctioning (I use lots of VOIP for work, so its a big issue), so much so that now it can be completely garbled at times. The wifi stops sometimes, for no reason; just now, I am on the internet with my old HP with no problems -- this computer has already lost and regained connection at least five times. In the middle of - nothing - it will start revving up and overheating. The keyboard / touchpad sometimes do not work too well -- I have not been able to figure out why sometimes I cannot type things into Excel or PPT. I hope I can get some money back returning it. There is really no point holding on to it. I cant count on it working when I need it!

Do not buy,battery life terrible, spent over 2300.00 for a laptop I can’t use anymore!

This is an excellent laptop. In this configuration, the computer is very fast. The Processor breezes through the most demanding applications, the large amount of RAM is ideal for ever more intensive applications, the GPU can handle the latest games on high settings and will give future proofing for the coming years. The SSD gives a hard drive which is fast and efficient. The star of the show is the 4k touchscreen! This screen is amazing; beautifully bright with a rich and vibrant color display. Comparing my screen to an older laptop is like night and day; no washed out colors on this laptop. I am seeing new colors in websites and applications which I have never seen on my old laptop. The touch screen is also responsive. This computer is the perfect configuration for someone who wants a computer that can do everything good. It can do the basic like browsing and office work, it can do photo and video editing, it can play the latest PC games on decent settings. If you are a professional who needs a good computer to do work, but dont want the teenager-esqe Alienware for gaming, this is the computer for you. This is by far the best laptop I have ever purchased.

EVERYTHING!!!!

And now, no recourse. Its a lot of money to pay for a laptop that only lasted such a short time. Very disappointing

I really liked the computer but the display doesnt work 100% of the time. While customizing the desktop to fit what I need, the display cut out and wouldnt come back on for a while. So I returned it :(

It worked well and I loved it for 3 months and then out of nowhere it started crashing with hard drive not installed errors. Also constantly deadlocked/completely froze when trying to fix, requiring it to be forced to shutdown by holding the power. Eventually, I could not restart it and it gave light signals indicating a problem with the CPU. Complete waste of money. The price for the hardware was the selling point, but it was too good to be true.
