There are many great things about a laptop like this, but a thin and light always comes with its down sides. The 1080p matte screen does wonders for photo editing especially with the 100% sRGB. Ive seen the 4k one in person and it is very glossy, really just comes down to personal preference, but this one probably has a somewhat longer battery life. I also find a 4k screen on a 15inch screen some what pointless, because you have to scale it up with windows anyway just to see things. Another upside is the battery life, I can go days without charging this laptop even with doing some light work with photoshop and lightroom and also just browsing the web. Other things that are more intensive you may have to charge everyday. However, I assure you this battery will last you at least your entire work day before you have to charge it. Now, there are two downsides I found to this laptop which are the thermal throttling issues which you can just google a video to figure out how to undervolt the cpu (Ive never had a thermal problem since, after under volting my cpu) and the keyboard. The keyboard really annoys me, I cant wrap myself around the fact why dell didnt make a full size 10 key keyboard. There definitely is space on the sides the keyboard and they didnt put speakers where the keyboard could be so there is just blank space. I can live with that, but sometimes without a number pad it is slightly annoying and an inconvenience. What actually aggravates me is I cant tell if it is me or the keyboard, but this keyboard straight up just misses key stroke inputs. I type over 100 wpm and never had this problem on any other keyboard, but I do think it may either be a malfunction or the fact that these keys have a deeper actuation than most laptops. Nonetheless all these problems are manageable and overall a great laptop.

I ended up returning this unit twice. Pros (when it worked): Fast boot and start up. Sleek design made me enjoy sitting on the laptop. Cons: 1st laptop - Constant crash issues. Had Dell perform a remote takeover of the computer and update the BIOS and change the settings and it still kept crashing. The crashes would happen randomly when either using word, or surfing the internet using chrome, or using python. I did try to use one program at a time but it would still crash. 2nd Laptop - When it arrived the LCD didnt work, which I found to be a common issue with the XPS. Seems like its a loose connector and you have to open your laptop and plug it back in. Dell sent a technician to fix it, it started working and after a week the cable came loose again. The keys are not responsive unless you really slam them down. When you try and type quickly some of the letters wouldnt get pressed and Id have to go back and put them in. Final straw was the computer crashed.

Color me impressed. The Dell XPS 15 9570 is a fantastic notebook! I’m coming from a higher-end MacBook Pro, but felt it was time to upgrade and wanted to go the Windows route this time. I do software development so I wanted an i7, 16GB and minimum 512GB SSD. I opted for the non-touch, HD display because of better battery life versus more pixels (also I can’t stand fingerprints on my screen). Pros: 1. Very fast and responsive (6-cores) 2. Great display 3. Great battery life (10+ hours with how I use it) 4. Compact form factor for 15” 5. High quality construction, similar to MacBook Pro 6. Much less expensive for similarly configured MacBook Pro Cons: 1. Palm rests seem to collect fingerprints more easily than some notebooks (minor nit-pick) If I had to do it over again I would buy this same exact model

Got this laptop as an anniversary present for my parents (1080p screen, 512 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 45 watt 8650H CPY, 1050ti GPU). Was a decision between buying the Huawei Matebook Pro X, but the bigger screen, better battery, better CPU, better GPU, better PORTS selection (needed HDMI and USB-A capabilities), and MUCH EASIER upgradeability (just popping opening the back panel gives u instant access to the SD card, wifi card, and RAM slots) justified going for this over the 200 dollar cheaper Huwaei. Have to say that this notebook is a BEAUTY to behold, with its near bezel-less 15.6" screen thats super bright, mind you. The CPU, RAM, GPU and SSD just about guarantee 7-8 years of useable life for the laptop (which is a HUGE plus for my parents as they REALLY DONT like buying new tech every 4 years). Undervolted the CPU by -0.11v to ensure ZERO overheating (as I know that CAN be an issue, since its a VERY thin and light laptop for the power its packing). As of now, theyve (my parents) experienced zero heating issues. Package came within 4 days of purchasing, which was earlier than expected (I live in Bahrain, so international shipping usually takes 3 - 7 days)

Amazing laptop. Had a bit of a bumpy start but things smoothed out. Cant quite give 5 stars because of the issues out of the box. First boot had bios erros and failed to start. Once I got it to boot it wouldnt find the internal battery. That seemed to fix its self after a few reboots and pulling the power with the laptop on and killing it. The final problem was windows would not activate and kept complaining that it was not genuine. Eventually I got it to verify and its been smooth sailing since. So glad I bought this laptop. Just dont give up too quick if its a bit rough to get started in the beginning

Sometimes after boot up wifi does not work - wifi device is not found. Graphic cards freezes on high load. Fan is quite noisy and randomly kicks in even when the device is completely idle. On the bright side: display is really good and overall performance is good.

I recently got this for music production. I was mainly looking for something with enough RAM. I do not necessarily understand why the others are giving this laptop a bad wrap. I have been uploading and downloading songs simultaneously while working in Corel Paintshop and Reason 10. I have not had any issues. I noticed someone reviewed about the WiFi turning off. If you didnt know you can just google "my WiFi turned off after restart/update" and there are forums that tell you how to fix it (You have to turn something off, i do not recall the exact thing, but its simple). The battery life on this thing is tremendous, I do not use it as a work laptop but i spend anywhere from 1-6 hours on it per day and a single charge can last me ~5 days. I also really like the fingerprint scanner, way easier than typing a password every time. I also noticed the graphics are really nice for videos and such. Very sleek design and highly compact, good job Dell! All in all I love this product so far.

Unless youve been living under a rock, you know that Windows laptops have gotten on par with Apples MacBooks which were pretty much the reigning kings of outstanding build quality and performance on the go, and the Dell XPS 15 is without a doubt the closest youll get to beating the MacBook Pro 15. Cons, the laptop does run a little warm under heavy or constant use but its nothing out of the ordinary for laptops of this calibre (running a Core i7 and a decent GPU compared to say a Core m3). Not to say its unmanageable but I think Dell couldve done a better job with thermals. I do have one major gripe, and thats the webcam, its a nose cam so youre left with a weird angle when video chatting and it doesnt help that the image quality itself is very poor. Overall, Dell knocked it out of the park with this. With great speedy performance, a gorgeous 4K screen, super quick fingerprint reader for Windows Hello, an outstanding keyboard and touchpad, all the ports you require including a full sized SD card slot and Thunderbolt 3, all in a package that lasts you about a good day of work on a single charge, there arent many other laptops that do it like this. The XPS 15 is not without its shortcomings, but it is a great product for anyone looking for performance in a very attractive shell on the go. *On a side note, Amazon Services was the reseller I picked and my package arrived on time and in great condition. No issues there whatsoever.

UPDATES 05/20/2019 - original review below. After a few weeks with the laptop, I have noticed some issues with the laptop. Namely, thermal and WiFi. Ive dropped by review from 5 to 4 stars. None of these issues are deal breakers and I still love this laptop, but let me explain so you are aware going in. Thermal: the intel i7 processor on this machine is a beast and it produces a lot of heat. Unfortunately, the design of the laptop is so thin that it has no great way to dissipate heat. When the i7 goes up to nearly 4GHz (the turbo boost on it) it usually throttles (clocks down) because the temps of the processor will go up to 90 or so Celcius at least on my machine, (max temp being 100 C). Additionally this will make the fans go kind of whacky. There are a few fixes (and you can implement multiple), one of which I chose to do and it resolved my issue. The first fix is you can undervolt your processor. This requires software called intel xtu. I didnt mess around with this option. The second option is re-pasting your processor, and installing thermal pads on your heat sinks to draw the heat from the processor and GPU to the bottom case to dissipate the heat correctly. This, in addition to the intel XTU are your options if you NEED 4 GHz. The last option, which worked perfect for me was to turn off TurboBoost in the BIOS (very easy). This permanently clocks your processor down to 2.2 Ghz - which for me, was way more than enough performance. Im able to game at the exact same FPS as with turbo boost, as well as photo editing without any noticeable slowdown. All Ive seen from doing this is better temps and no more crazy fans. Again, this isnt a dealbreaker for me and I dont think it should be for you. If it is, and you NEED 4GHz either be prepared to do some work to fix it, or you should consider a gaming machine that dissipates heat better. The second issue is the WiFi card. The Killer 1535 card included in this machine has some issues. I am replacing it with an Intel 9260 (very inexpensive Wifi Card and easy to do) to deal with these issues. The issues with the card are random disconnects somewhat infrequently, but the 9260 is a cheap easy fix. Driver updates didnt seem to help. I still love this laptop despite these issues. ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW After owning a Dell Latitude E5450 for the last few years, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I set out on a research hunt for a laptop that had high build quality, great performance (preferably with a dGPU), good battery, as compact as possible and not overly expensive. I also wanted a strong 4k panel. Those are some tough requirements to meet, but the Dell XPS 15 9570 exceeded my expectations in these areas. Ive owned a lot of laptops in my lifetime, everything from an Apple Powerbook 150 to a GPD Win, to fat gaming laptops. Out of all of the laptops Ive ever owned, this is easily my favorite. Over the last few years Ive been fairly disappointed in the direction of Apple and have found myself leaning more and more towards Dell, and as far as I can tell their quality has only gotten better. BUILD QUALITY The build quality of this machine is unbelievable for the price. Although styled differently, I feel like I am holding a machine on par with the quality of a MacBook Pro. PERFORMANCE The performance of this machine is great, especially for how thin and light it is. The i7 CPU has 6 cores. Its faster than many desktop processors even on the market right now. 16 GB of RAM should be enough for anything youll run aside from some video processing type tasks. The GTX 1050Ti Max-Q is a fantastic card as well. Its about on par with a 960M in terms of performance (not quite as good as a true 1050ti). Although I dont use this for heavy gaming, Im able to play Playerunknowns battlegrounds on 1080P with about 50-60 FPS on average. The NVME SSD is snappy. When doing photo editing tasks, the machine doesnt have a single issue. THERMAL The laptop stays pretty cool, even under fairly heavy loads. I havent done any empirical tests, but during heavy gaming the keyboard gets a little warm as does the underbody. Nothing that doesnt happen on any other laptop with this kind of hardware. I did not notice any throttling of the i7 CPU (monitored with task manager) during gaming either. The fans will go on in these situations but this doesnt bother me at all; Id rather have a cool laptop with fan noise than a hot one with none. DISPLAY The display on this is the best part of this whole package. I have the 4K screen and I highly recommend it. The colors are perfect on it, it pops and looks perfect, especially for creative tasks where color is important. I wouldnt recommend the 4k if you have extremely high battery demands or perhaps if youre a hardcore gamer; the 1080p screen would probably be better for you. The 4K screen will probably set you back an hour or two of battery time, and for gaming in FHD on it, it will look a bit weird downscaling to 1080P on a 4K monitor...but to me, the 4K is worth it for the colors and pure beauty. KEYBOARD The keyboard is flawless in my opinion. About as good as you can get for a laptop keyboard. The tactile response is perfect, the sound is clicky enough to be engaging but not loud enough to be annoying. Backlit keyboard is a nice touch too. BATTERY LIFE Battery life is fairly good for the specs that are in this, with a 97+Whr battery. With keyboard lights off, battery set to high battery life mode in Windows 10, and Dell Power Command set to Optimal, I get about 6 hours with moderate use (web browsing, Photoshop Lightroom CC). This is totally acceptable to me. With the 1080P screen youd probably get 6-8 hours. With heavy use (such as gaming) dont expect more than 1 - 1.5 hours. SERVICEABILITY From what I can tell, this machine is fairly serviceable, especially by todays standards. The RAM and SSD are easily user replaceable, and Id argue that the battery is as well. Honestly, I cant think of anything bad to say about this laptop. Maybe that I wish the battery life was a little bit better, but this isnt Dells fault and I cant knock the machine for it. The hardware in it is some high end power hungry stuff. They somehow stuffed nearly a 100 Whr battery in here which helps a lot but Im not sure there was much else they could do. Any other questions and I will try to answer them in comments. This here is a keeper.

I was initially really excited to get this laptop as it was the second highest build possible in terms of included hardware (processor, graphics card, ram, ssd) & many reviews online listed it as one of the best laptops period. Upon opening it up the laptop has a really nice, solid & sleek aluminum construction. This build is a bit on the heavier side (~5lbs) whoch isnt too bad for me, but if youre looking for portability go with the XPS 13. Eveything boots ups and operates very quickly. With the larger power supply I can go several uses, hours at a time without having to charge (I usually charge once every 3 or 4 days). Keyboard is a bit on the small side as well so just be aware. However this review wouldve got a 5/5 expect this BRAND NEW computer comes from Dell with Speaker crackling! Dell is aware of the issue as a multitude of customers have brought it to their attention through customer service and online forums. At this time they are refusing to do anything. This defect should be heavily considered before buying this expensive & "premium" laptop. Honestly, I recommend you pass this one up. Several people have tried different fixes from software deletions & installs, to utilizing the warranty for a motherboard replacement all to no avail. Its a defect in this particular computer (XPS 15 9360 &9370) and quite honestly demands a recall. (Again unlikely a BIOS update will fix this either) In conclusion, PASS ON BUYING THIS LAPTOP. Be careful & do alot of research for any & all problems on whichever laptop you buy as I thought I did on this one, but was wrong. Best of luck!
