Thermal management is lacking and the machine too often throttles the CPU or GPU to keep internal temperatures under control for the 2012 model.

The full HD 1080p IPS display is a lovely though the gloss can be distracting (the same can be said for most glossy screen laptops). It's designed to look good in the boardroom and deliver more than ample performance for everyday tasks. The Dell XPS 15 is a good looking machine that looks expensive, and frankly is expensive when loaded with a Core i7 and decent dedicated graphics. So the Dell XPS 15 is a performance powerhouse for tasks other than gaming.ĭell XPS 15 with UHD 4K Display Video Review (2015)ģDMark Vantage: 8731 (GPU 7373, CPU 19,439) After 5 minutes of game play in Crysis 2 and Batman Arkham City, our frame rates dropped from the mid-30's to an unplayable 12 fps. That means gaming is problematic with today's demanding 3D titles. Dell has issued several BIOS updates to tune CPU and GPU throttling, and our machine with the latest A09 BIOS, throttles the dedicated GPU significantly. The machine doesn't get hot to the touch, but the CPU and GPU inside run fairly hot. Thermal issues have plagued the XPS 15 since its launch this summer. Is this a well-built machine that's put together as tightly as the MacBook Pro? Yes. Other goodies include a very good chiclet style backlit keyboard, 1.3MP webcam, dual band Intel WiFi with WiDi, Bluetooth 4.0 and a 9 cell battery that's sealed inside. The base model starts at $1,299 with a Core i5-3210M, 6 gigs of RAM and a 500 gig HDD plus 32 gig SSD. Our config lists for $1,699, so this isn't a cheap machine. Ours has a Blu-ray drive, and you order it with a DVDRW if you prefer. Our unit has the quad core 2.1GHz Intel Core i7-3612QM, 8 gigs of DDR3 1600MHz RAM, a 7 RPM HDD, 32 gig SSD drive and Nvidia GT640M graphics with 2 gigs of DDR5 VRAM (Kepler). There's no arguing: this is an attractive machine.

The XPS 15 L521X notebook goes after the powerful thin-and-light and style segments that the HP Envy 15 and 15" MacBook Pro inhabit. All XPS 15 models have an excellent 1080p WLED display covered in Gorilla glass. The 15.6" notebook features Intel Ivy Bridge Core i5 and i7 CPU options and switchable graphics with Intel HD 4000 and your choice of Nvidia GT630M or GT640M dedicated graphics. Gone is the disorganized design language of the XPS 15z, replaced with a unified, if somewhat MacBook Pro-looking package that continues the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook style.
