  • The XPS 15 is "new" for 2023 with the XPS 15 9530 model but with an RTX 4070 upgrade in a thin and light laptop what happens to battery life and performance? And with a GPU like that is the XPS 15 worth it in 2023?

      The lower tier GPUs are the only ones that make sense in the 15”. Above the 4050 or so you’ll see diminishing returns due to the 40W TDP limit. The XPS 17 seems like a decent desktop replacement and has better cooling but unfortunately it’s considerably more expensive because it isn’t facing price pressure because there aren’t many other thin 17” desktop replacement laptops out there.

    As an XPS owner i have a few comments. First, at least in the past, buying a brand new 15" XPS ridiculously expensive. However, I have bought 2 refurbished XPS 15s that where both well spec'd for the time and have had good luck. The first needed a screen replacement (send it back just after receipt) that was replaced under warranty. I replaced the cooling fans and keyboard myself around the 5 year mark (it wasn't expensive). The second has not had any issues. Both are still going strong with the first being a 9560 and the second being a 9520. However, once any initial issues are fixed these things have great build quality which for me translates to long usable life. I use my laptops around 8 hours a day so they don't just sit on my desk looking pretty, i use them for work. Thus, buying a refurbished one is worth it to me. Performance wise though you have to accept that you are not getting the highest performance machine. Its just not. But its great for multitasking and general productivity use and holds up well. I have had MACs in the past as well and i think the XPS line and MACs are both in the same class build quality wise.

      I have a 7590 too and while I love the strong build quality, the thermals are horrible. I5 base model btw. My battery is in ok condition but needs a replacement but there are no replacements available. The quality of the fans are horrible. If a single hair gets in the fans it'll sound like a boat engine in a few weeks. I've also had quality control issues with an alienware laptop and my dad had a very poor experience with driver issues on an inspiron. Call me unlucky but if I'm going to buy an xps again thermals must be fixed, fans must be durable, needs basic IO not just usb c, and their software such as for controlling charging needs to be reliable. On paper, dell laptops sound perfect at a great price, but having experience with them is either underwhelming or frustrating

I have heard that the new XPS I think the 17" one has a vacuum based cooling system or something so that should help. If they can build that in to the 15 inch version that would be ideal.

      And im tiping this from a 12700h/RTX Vostro.

    Biggest problem with the XPS and it's precision cousin is that Dell stick to a pretty rigid 4 year cycle. They just insert the latest CPU/GPU generation with little regard to heat management and throttling. By the end of the cycle you end up with devices that struggle to deliver the performance effectively. Add into that the dated 720P webcam, no wifi 6E and limited display options on a $2.5k premium laptop. Effectively they don't even update the internal components e.g wifi card. If we wanted an XPS 95xx we'd be better off saving a chunk on one of the previous iterations as it wouldn't be that far off. Have they finally fixed the trackpad issues? Still a lovely device to own despite it's age and obvious limitations.

    • @andyH_England

      It is industry standard, around a 4-year design cycle. This is because, in a mature market like laptops, it is about survival more than anything else. Spending hundreds of millions on a new design every year or two has little upshot in sales numbers. Even Apple with the revolutionary Apple Silicon can barely break 10% of the market.

    They should really offer a QHD IPS panel with a high refresh rate instead of that same 1200p panel which IMO is too low for an expensive laptop. I don't care about webcam quality so that's whatever but the screen you look at every day. And the biggest thing that has kept me from getting one is the terrible QC issues that I keep hearing about from everyone.

      No almost same performance per watt. Intel is on Intel 7 node same as tsmc 7nm.
      Amd is on Tsmc 5nm.
      Intel Arrow Lake, Meteorlake and lunar lake will destroy amd and apple completely.

    Going from the 3050 Ti to the 4070 was a HUGE upgrade! Unfortunate that now you can only get these things with the Arc A370M. They arent even the speed of the 1650 Ti we saw on the 9500!

    I’m trying to leave the apple ecosystem after being it for one year, but I need a new laptop and a standard m1 air looks too good for my use case. I absolutely loved the display and speakers in my MBP that died. So much so, it is a priority next to battery life. That being said, the small things that just flow from having an iPhone and Mac make it that much better. Planning on buying the pixel 8 pro and maybe m1 Mac air 🤷‍♀️

    Problem is Dell is too comfortable , they know many people are going to buy their laptops regardless of new features or any improvements being made.I doubt the people who buy XPS devices check specs much and probably buy it because of aesthetics, probability and they trust the brand .Until this year the only competition they had was Apple and in windows the infamous Razer laptops.

    I do not know how you got the performance of Lenovo Slim Pro 9i 16. The one I bought from Costco was very slow. I was so excited when I bought it. I was immediately disappointed after I first booted it up. I just couldn't believe it was so slow for its high spec. I intended to replace my 6 years old laptop with this one. But it is not smoother that the old one. I tried to improve its performance by disabling BitLocker. It improved a little bit but still slow. Is it just the Costco model? I doubt that Slim Pro 9i 16 from other sources are very different.

    This used to be the Windows laptop for creators. That is no longer the case, and Dell is the only one to blame for it. At the 2500 dollar price point there are many different options to think about, but you also need to look at what you get. In 2023 a laptop of this caliber needs to have at least HDMI 2.1 and a 120 Hz screen, I am certain next year will be the reveal, and in January 2024 I can see it best in class at CES. If Dell keeps going with this mentality of: "Nobody can touch us" they will have their cake eaten and then some.
