Update 2 (July 12, 2019): Article updated to include comment speculation 10nm and 14nm variants of XPS 13 in traditional and convertible designs Update 1 (July 11, 2019): The original edition of this article mistook Comet Lake 14nm for Ice Lake 10nm. Both chips...
There’s an old saying that goes “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me”. The question about buying the XPS 15 7590 for me is this: What do you call it when you get fooled four times? An idiot? An optimist? A laptop reviewer? I’ve said it again and again over...
Subcontracting is not unique to the computing industry, but its effects are particularly profound in this sector due to price of goods and importance of continued support. Calling tech support and speaking to someone in another country is likely something we’ve all become familiar...
The Dell XPS 13 has been my ultrabook of choice for a few years now. I own and have been constantly using while on the go an XPS 13 9343, and I’ve reviewed here on the site all the later updates released in the last...
I wrote yesterday about OLED panels finally making a comeback in the form of upgrade options for 15-inch laptops this year (sources say in March), with the XPS 15 headlining as one of the laptop series to receive such an update. More configuration options...
For years Dell’s Alienware has been the brand-name most enthusiasts associated to gaming computers, either desktop PCs or laptops. Things have changed these days, with all the other major OEMs offering gaming devices now, but even so Alienware machines stick towards the top of...
OLED displays are big on premium phones, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen OLED displays in laptops. The last mainstream laptops to offer panels with this technology were the Alienware 13 R3 and the 2nd-gen Lenovo X1 Yoga. The reason for the...
I’ve seen many people clamoring for a review of the XPS 15 9570; unlike the previous releases, it seems there is a scarcity of proper reviews for this iteration. To briefly explain why that is, we just need to look at the machine’s popularity....
26/9/2018 update: added touchscreen bug I originally reviewed the XPS 15 9570 (FHD) in June of this year, scoring it 4/5, so if you haven’t read my original review, I suggest reading that first here. Too often, products are reviewed in the first few weeks...
I’ve bought a Dell XPS 13 as soon as the compact refresh was initially released back in 2015, and I’ve been using it ever since as my travel laptop. You can find my initial impressions in this article, as well as my long-term experience with...
The Precision 5530 workstation that Dell revealed last month is now available for purchase. If it looks familiar, that’s because it is almost identical to the Dell XPS 15 9570, although the Nvidia GeForce graphics have been replaced with Nvidia Quadro, and a Xeon...
Note: title has been changed to reflect that the XPS 9570 has the same problems and the same solutions as the XPS 9560. I’ll update the contents if needed when I get a 9570 to test (already did, here’s the review), but for now...
By now it is very well documented that the XPS 15 9550 (review) and 9560 (review) have issues with thermal and VRM throttling. As I outline in the aforementioned page linked, there are actually two types of throttling that plague the XPS 15 series:...
Dell introduced a new Chromebook — the Chromebook 5190 – which promises 10 hours of battery life and Android app support. Chromebooks are affordable laptops and a good choice for students and users with basic needs from a computer due to how easy they...
Much ado has been made of Dell’s new maglev keyboard, currently exclusive to the XPS 15 9575 2-in-1. Utilizing rare-earth magnets to repulse the keys back up once depressed, the keyboard still provides a decent amount of feedback despite its meager 0.7mm of travel....
