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....
Disclaimer: All laptops (including both black and white XPS 13 SKUs) were purchased with my own funds for this review. Going by most accounts, the best ultrabook of 2018 so far is either the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (which we at NBC rated 90%)...
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....
Take a look at the r/Dell sub-reddit and one of the most common questions you’ll see being asked whether one should upgrade from the XPS 15 9560 to the new XPS 15 9575 2-in-1. Naturally, one of the main factors influencing this decision is...
Irony update (10/5/2018): After Dell cancelled my 9575 order no less than four times, I will indeed be shamelessly buying a 9570 from a reseller (HIDEvolution). My full review of the XSP 9570 is available over here. It’s no secret that the XPS 15...
For the last two years, the Dell Inspiron Gaming line has been one of the best series of mid-range gaming laptops you could get, with solid traits and an excellent price (especially for those of you living in the US). The latest iteration in the...
In this article we’re talking about Dell’s 15-inch Inspiron Gaming notebook, one of the most appreciated options in the $1000 gaming laptops category. When it comes to mid-level mid-range gaming machines, you should expect well built laptops with a decent keyboard, average screens and...
The options for a convertible laptop with a large 17-inch screen are very limited out there, so if you’re after such a computer you’d surely have the Dell Inspiron 7000 2-in-1 series on your list. The 7779 model is the late 2016-early 2017 update...
Since its launch in October of 2015, the Dell XPS 15 9550 was hailed by many reviewers as the best 15-inch laptop around. Despite its rocky start plagued by hardware, software, and firmware issues (and some ongoing slight annoyances), the XPS 9550 maintained its...
