What laptop do you have right now? 🤔
CORRECTION 1: Undervolting won't damage your laptop, but can cause BSODs and crashes. Generally -100mv is safe)
CORRECTION 2: It was actually a crappy Killer WiFi chip on the 9570, I replaced it with a good Intel chip. My mistake! But the Killer chip here works well.
Hey Tom quick question: Do you know whether or not if the 7950's and 9570's panel assembly are interchangable? Love to have that proper front facing camera if given the possibility to just change part of my machine recommended by you
@@DanHamJunKie I have this question too.
I’m considering Msi ps63 8sc (gtx 1650).
bruh I got a Medion Akoya
got a zbook studio g5 with the dreamcolor 4k panel, and it is a delight to use. 600 nits and deltaE of about 1. very color accurate.
Dell needs to make their website more streamlined. It’s such a mess trying to select the computer you want.
Agreed!
Blue Tooth 100%. I wish they would give you more options to build your design
Try Asus website... Nightmare!!
ughhh it's so cluttered
Agreed! Asus has the best interface in my opinion

If you had said something about government spending, you would have quoted my favorite John Hurt line in the movie Contact. 😀
I need him in my recommendation 😂 now
Dude, this is genuinely one of the best videos I've seen for explaining any tech stuff.
Well edited, well explained, great B-Roll. Awesome stuff man
I'm an armchair grandma, who spends my day watching CZcams videos, checking and sending email, and catching Netflix. I also journal when the mood strikes, but that's about it. I have found that the Chromebook is the best laptop for me because it does everything I require any laptop to do. I enjoy watching your channel from time to time, pretending that I understand all of the technical stuff you put in your videos. To be absolutely honest though, I really like your accent!
WuW that's very nice from you. If you mostly use your laptop for internet I think Chromebook is a good value for sure.
You have a good voice man. Not just your natural tone but also your pacing and intonation (the stuff you control). You could be on TV.
Oliver Warren out of the dozen or so times I’ve been to this channel, there is always
at least 1 dude low-key hitting on the guy. Thirsty!!! 😂😂
Really glad you mentioned the sleep problem being fixed; I've experienced that a lot with my XPS 13.
The Dell XPS 15's striking with that 4k OLED display having an Intel Core i9 CPU and GTX 1650 GPU. Wow, I'm amazed as its beauty and powerful setup. With most Dell XPS laptops, I'm sure it has excellent battery life.
Dell hasn't made much redesign for 4 years :-: Usually, they have weak audio and touchpad could be better imo.
That i9 will burn a hole in your desk quicker than the OLED burns one in your pocket
Funny thing about that is Dell is listing the OLED model as being $50 cheaper than the UHD LCD.
@@ZeldagigafanMatthew why tho?
@@qwerasdfhjkio I don't know. You'll have to ask the Dell engineers.
hahahah good one :D
@@qwerasdfhjkio The LCD is touch screen where as the OLED is non-touch.
I really like your all videos because you are so honest and make great videos ❤️
Thank you for hitting upon the issues I wanted to hear about. I have been perusing other reviews that have not addressed the screen differences for over an hour. Finally I get the info I wanted, at last.
I really enjoyed this video and I think you going into a little more detail made it excellent. This gave a listener lots to think about and also pointed out the issues you were having as well as the differences in the screen types. I will be watching that screen comparison video right now! I have been a subscriber for a while and I always enjoy your videos.
"Stay with the person who look at you, same way TechChap sees devices."
🤔😂
Great video. Keep the content rolling out. 👍
Finally been waiting for this vid for so long
I just found my perfect laptop! Amazing screen, dedicated graphics, amazing design and with corners cut here and there a decent price... thunderbolt 3, good keyboard and trackpad. Id say its a winner. Awesome stuff tech chap. Subbed on insta bdw 😎
Stephen Seng some people have problems with killer WiFi but ig it could be fixed. I'm probably going to buy it
"why buy 1 when you can get two twice the price". From now on, this will be my motive.
This is the best review of the XPS that I've seen yet. Thanks!
I agree, he just got straight to the points I was interested in (differencies in screen type, cpu, version to buy, ssd upgrade)
Thanks for the review. I bought the 7590 on a Black Friday special, and found it really good. It deals with Visual Studio and SSMS well. I'd also like to say the FHD matt screen is really good for visibility, with superb lighting.
Nice video! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Do you know if your i9 XPS could handle 4k 50fps 10bit 420 h265 (files from the Fujifilm XT-3) playback at full res on Premiere without dropping frames / lagging? I mean of course without using proxys. And if yes.. would you say the i7 could do it too? Thanks again and keep doing the good work! ;)
Get rid of Dell PremierColour and reset your colours in Intel Graphics to get rid of the banding... Also recalibrate your screen.
Michael Wiejowski how
If you need to change default settings on a laptop then it’s dells fault not ours.
will you do one for the thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2? I think its probably the closest rival to teh XPS 15
You really helped me narrow things down. Many thanks!
I got the 9575 model recently. Still fantastic. The bios update 1.6.1 fixed the sleep issue. i put it to sleep last night by closing the lid at 92% and 10 hours later i had 87% when i resumed.
I fell in love with your desktop wallpaper, mind sharing? :)
Perfect except Audio and microphone. I hoped you would talk more about these two issues.
Awesome video. I’ve watched this one and the comparison video. Subscribed for future content. Thanks for the great info.
Love the longer videos.
"Why buy one when you can get two for twice the price" LOL 😂😂
Thats a very well done video.
Do the Asus Strix Scar iii review next please :)
Hey great review. I got myself an XPS15 with the spec you recommend recently on the back of it.
You mention upgrading the RAM from 16gb to 32gb. I have seen your other video and the recommended RAM isn’t available on Amazon. What RAM would you recommend to upgrade the new XPS15
Is it a good laptop for CAD-modeling? Or should I buy a different laptop for this usage?
And how good is writing on the touchscreen?
Your reviews are really good. It addresses issues that are usually left untold. Thanks. Also can you compare this model with HP spectre x360 ips display 15”?
I really, really wish they fixed the speaker placement. sounds awful when I'm using it on my lap
Love my XPS 15. It’s really great to see they have shifted nostril cam.
Love the content. Subbed!
I will definitely buy it *through your link* after your thorough testing AND I WILL *ALSO BUY* THE Thinkpad X1 EXTREME GEN2 with 9th gen i9, so will you ALSO review that model config this month or August, please? Thank you 👋👍🙏
Excelent review chap!
I see you orange83
Love your reviews.
Great review as always chap.......
0:35 Hmm, indeed. Really makes you think.
no,there still is thermal throttling. They haven't resolved this issue since first xps 15
I undervolted mine
I have the 2014 model and undervolted it with an offset of +-80mV and still suffer from throttling (at least in summer) on my i7 4712HQ
I agree there is throttling
@@ahmatm2147 mine was undervolted also but didn't help much.
But surely that isn't a problem?
It's only a problem if a Mac does it.
Hi! Thanks for the nice review! What do you think, is it good for streaming in OBS?
Wow....good job ...this is what we call comprehensive review👏👏👍👍
Love your videos. Please review hp envy 13 2019 version! 🙇
Returned my XPS15 7590 (OLED) today. The screen itself was incredibly beautiful, everything popped and media was a joy to watch. Unfortunately thermals were catastrophic...
I achieved a stable undervolt of -0.115v on CPU and undervolted + underclocked the GPU, testing with fans forced to be at 100%, setup laptop on cold surface and this device was unable to operate with normal temps under light use.
Having multiple applications open (Chrome w 10+ tabs, word, excel, outlook) in a work situation had CPU bouncing off its temp limit. Light gaming at 1080p on 8+ year old games (eg Diablo 3 low settings) caused thermal throttling after 2mins of playtime.
Yes I understand that this is not a gaming laptop, but spending $3500+ AUD you would expect it to do some basics. When not throttled, the 1650gtx has enough juice to give me 200+fps, but when throttled drops to 300mhz and 5-10fps.
First time trying Dell, also the last.
timm2069
Dell xps or Razer Blade
Go for the Lenovo X1 extreme, it has the same specks but better built quality, less weight, better thermals, better reliability, and better performance.
El North built quality?
See Dave lee
“Every laptop sucks vedio”
He explained how Lenovo products differ in quality

He’ll explain about Lenovo
hey tom if i was to buy a laptop n usually on patio or somewhere outside what screen is better or best to watch a video on? or what would u recommend please...
Hi, you got around 70 fps on overwatch, was this constant? I've got the i7 model and my fps goes up and down like crazy when gaming even on the lowest settings. Sometimes I can't even get anything above 13 fps on r6 for the whole time. When playing other games like sims 4, the cpu also throttles...
So there's heating issues with the i9 that you had, does it happen on the i7 as well????
Anyone, captain?
Ronak Tripathi yeah, get the i5
very excited to get XPS next month. getting the 4k LCD model i7 16gb.
Anjan Babu How is it?
Just purchased this laptop (on sale too) thanks to your review! 😁
Is it worth it to upgrade to the 4k display? I use premiere pro every day for work but my concern is if it will dramatically effect the battery life
Lg gram 17” ftw expandable ram/ssd 2k screen for under 2k dollars I am rejoicing
Please add audio as part of the reviews. XPS of old were known for stellar audio and these new XPS 15's have had great displays but the audio was never great.
Audio is 'ok" to bad. The touchpad is also ONLY OK. The touchscreen will makeup for a bad trackpad. I got the touch screen 4k with 16gig ram and 500 gig hd for $1400...so I'm still happy though.
Hi , first of all, what an honest and great vid, thanks for that.
Although , I have a request, can you make a review on “illegear raven SE” a gaming/content creation laptop.
I gotta say, I’ve been wanting to get myself one of these Xps, but with all pros and cons that you stated, gave me a second thought.
Thank you Sir for the vid once again.
Nice review on the XPS 15 7590, as a user of the previous model XPS 15 9570, who is a bit unhappy with it, I have a few questions:
1. Is the 7590 slow to POST? On my 9570, it takes over 22 seconds to get from button press to get to the login screen. My old MSI GS63VR takes 8-10 seconds, and that's with a sata SSD.
2. Did Dell put back the S3 sleep mode? I'm on the latest firmware for the 9570 and they still haven't put it back.
Bro please make a review about new 2019 acer predator helios 300
My i9 with a -100mv undervolt doesn't really throttle in any real use case and i get 3600 ish in R20. I'd recommend the i9 100%.
Hi, in your views how would this compare to a macbook 2018 model 15"?
Thanks for the great review. Just a question- I need to run 2 4K monitors off a laptop and looking at the xps models. Do you recommend the full HD screen version of the xps laptop over the 4K screened laptop if I’m not really going to look at the actual laptop screen very often? (As I will be mainly working off the 4K monitors) Also 2nd question: will the xps laptop be powerful enough to run 2 x 4K monitors? Thanks for your help
Once a great philosopher said "why buy one when u can get two for twice the price."
Damn. Apple fixed throttling before Dell! Didn't expect that!
...THANK YOU! ...which Laptop would could you recomment for 4k Videoediting / Rendering with a 400-500 nit (cd/m²) Display for outdoor sunlight? A Notebook which is also usable in TROPIC Areas like Malaysia, Philipines or PapuaNG?
Do you have thermal issues while 4k video editting or does it only appear if you game with it?
Well rip. I bought the XPS 13 this year but I’m pretty happy with it so oh well
Dell have made this the default Windows alternative to the MacBook Pro, it makes sense to retain the same design with a few tweaks. It's annoying buying a Windows laptop only to find it looking obsolete in a couple of years time, which is the case with other manufacturers laptops.
Gr8 video. Nice explanation with detailed info, that too from buyers pov. If possible, plz do review for Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2.
What do you recommend for a 4k monitor? I want to connect it to my new XPS i7 laptop?
watching this on the new FHD i7 version, I can admit that this was a great purchase
How is batterylife on your xps15 and which battery do you have? 3 cells or 6
Thanks for sharing! Will you test the new 13 2 in 1 2019 soon? Can't wait!
Yep! Not expected till October though
@@Thetechchap 😣 they moved again the release date? I didn't see that! I was expecting something for August :(
Thank you
@@TheFleexit it's because it uses ice lake chips and I think that'll be Q3. I might be wrong though
@@Thetechchap make sense! Let's see! Would you recommend any other 13" laptops meanwhile? Or should I go for dell 15" dell
Finally more videos on the 7590. Could you please do a video on how to undervolt the laptop? I have the I9 4K UHD and worried about the temperature. Also can you hear your fan when it boots up?
I wanted to buy the i7-Version - but it is not available in Luxembourg with the 4K - IPS Screen.
Is the i9 worse then the i7 or just “not better”. Then I could live with it.
Can termal throttling be reduced with a laptop cooling pad?
Please review the Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 :)
I'd love to see that! ;)
You beat me to it! But they still haven't released the i9 9th gen config of it ugh
@@blognewb i9 on a slim laptop is a joke. Any company that releases slim laptops with i9 (like Apple and Dell) are unethical and they just want to rip of their customers. Lenovo is not one of those companies...
@@@panosnord9978 I totally agree with ya.
@@panosnord9978 did you not watch the video? The temps on the undervolted i9 were the same with i7, i5 CPUs
Im happy to undervolt it. Everyone should undervolt their laptop, it's just free performance
Caecario Wardana or the companys should do it for us ... free performance
Are there any downsides to undervolting?
@@adem_gun may not be stable at higher clocks.
@@adem_gun no.
Can be unstable at higher loads
Does this model means that Dell will not launch any new xps with a whole new design(what i want is bigger touchpad) at least until middle 2020?
XPS 15 9570 user here! I bought the laptop about a year ago and it's held up perfectly! Super smooth, super fast, looks beautiful, battery lasts forever, and gaming gets me over 60 fps easy. Matte non-touch screen, i7 chip, and Nvidia GeForce. I'd recommend this laptop to literally anybody looking for a lightweight but powerful laptop
i9 performance with undervolt is good though.
After running cinebench r20 10x consecutively, all cores were running at around 3.2 GHz, at temperatures of about 80-82C. The average score was ~ 3376 (max: 3646, min: 3279)
This was with an undervolt of -110.4mV and speed shift set to 80.
The GPU will still throttle (but refer to the reddit solution using MSI afterburner).
3.2ghz is what they run at when thermal throttling... should be running closer to 4.5ghz while running Cinebench. Should be capable of 5ghz when over clocked,
@@Russh1 The all-core turbo limit is 4.2GHz, so 4.5GHz is not attainable without increasing the turbo limits. Even a huge laptop like the G703GX with i9-9980HK can't sustain 5GHz on all cores (cf. ultrabookreview)
@@bertrandstone303 Agree though, 5ghz is the single core boost clock. Nonetheless, if you're running at 3.2 on an i9 9980hk something's not right.
Can someone please review the thinkpad p1 gen 2 and x1 extreme gen 2. School starts in 2 weeks

Joshua T ur thinkpad fan ? Rare ...
TheRBLXnoob GamerDev I enjoy them yes
Great and useful video. If I am not a gamer, or other high intensity user, do you think I could get by with an I7 with 8 gigs of RAM?
waiting for mine to get here in the mail - super excited to check it out
Do you like it
0:15 - “And also mine has a bunch of grease stains on the palmrest”. This has got the be the single worst thing about the XPS 15, and it’s constant daily maintenance to keep this thing clean. Even worse I’ve had the XPS 14 for 4 years before this thing was unveiled and it had virtually the same palmrest material - 8 years dealing with this and I hate it! I sincerely hope the next XPS 15 palmrest is aluminum or something that doesn’t get immediately caked with fingerprints and grease stains
@BlindMango What makes you think having an aluminum palmrest will make caked on fingerprints and grease stains look any better? If the fingerprints and grease stains have gotten to the point where it is caked on, that's typically a sign to clean it off. Alcohol wipes are not expensive.
Thank god they fixed the webcam and not the cooling system.
Thank you. Very helpful
For motion graphics and video editing is this laptop better than the Zen book pro duo? thanks a lot for the info great video!
i7 still may be a bit hot, I think it is better to go for i5 and for serious computation get a PC workstation or even Xeon server :D
Nice review, thanks!
Yanis Yukams no way. If you’re going to buy a a laptop that weighs in at almost 4 1/2 pounds then it better have a lot of power otherwise there are other lighter options out there.
3:43 but I want a glossy full HD version... why nobody makes that
If someone can help, i use photoshop, illustrator and indesign a lot for my design work. Is the i7 model good for this or will i experience heating issues?
Or should i just buy the surface laptop 3.
Another great video, Tom^^
Let’s hope Dell wins us over this time^^
10:08 i can just imagine you setting your camera up and sitting down pretending you are looking at something interesting
God you love this laptop .... One can just tell its true love.
"I get so sick of hearing my own voice!" lol Who are you kidding? Another great video. Thank you.
Great review! Thanks!!
So one year after purchasing my dell XP’s 15 9570 back in 2019 I found out that this laptop has so many performance problems. You need to constantly dust the inside of it to prevent the laptop from overheating and reapply cooling paste. If you are not knowledgeable about computer hardware do not purchase from dell. This video only covers it out of the box not a year later. I used this channel and several others to help influence my decision what laptop to buy and am really disappointed that it never discussed how the laptops perform years later. After my warranty expired within a year I was faced with so many problems meanwhile my hp envy back from 2013 is having less internal problems.
Same boat as you. Mine has GPU fan rattling, and oervheated CPU throttling continuously. And of course, as you mention, after one year, Dell won't even sell you replacement parts (you need to buy random compatible parts on Chinese websites). Shame for a "premium" laptop.
@@xrochefr what was your solution to fix your cpu throttling and high temperatures? I just ordered some cooling paste and going to try to apply that again. I noticed a significant increase in performance when I cleaned the dust out of my fan but it was still not the same when I first got it.
@@japes25 Unfortunately I did not attempt to replace the paste yet, but will probably have to. What a bother for such a pricey laptop.
Even with the i7 model, I had to undervolt both thr CPU and the GPU for it to perform properly. Additionally, it crashes when waking from sleep, I might be able to fix that by Hibernating the laptop instead.
Yah I have the same problem! Waking it up from sleep just closes everything opened before sleep. Is there any negatives having it go hibernation and no sleep? Thanks for any help!
@@Qtipsinear If it's crashing on wakeup, you're probably using the Intel XTU utility to undervolt. Do not use this program, XTU has serious bugs with sleep mode. Download ThrottleStop instead (as shown in this video) and use that instead. All my crashing issues on wakeup went away by doing this.
Matt Merkle agreed, XTU causes crashes whenever the computer goes to sleep, and also often doesn’t apply a preset undervolt at startup and you have to do it manually
XPS 15 users should undervolt their CPU AND GPU themselves for better performance......Every laptop chip is different, All laptops have different undervolt limits that can only be discovered with extensive testing, something that would take too much time on the manufacturing chain...some OEMs just apply a -100mv undervolt to their CPUs which should work for 95% to 99% of laptops......My current Laptop (Aero 15) has a maximum stable undervolt of (-135mv)....(-140 to -168) will crash randomly.....(-169) and more will cause instant crashing.
My previous laptops had limits of -125, -110, -150, -170 (highest ever).
I undervolted my 80W GTX 1060. It does base boost clock of 1670 at 900mv........to 1890 around 1150mv.......I literally turned it into a 60W 1060 max-q (loses 10% performance)
I looked up the 1060 max-q, it has a maximum clock speed of around 1480mhz.......So I played with the voltage curve and limited it from 1670 to 1480 max clock speed.....at 0.750mv.......150mv below the 900mv of the default 1670.
The results are amazing.......Playing Assasins Creed Origins at stock......GPU was pulling about 75 to 78W average......around 87W max/peak.
Now when gaming it pulls about 52W to 55W average (62W is the maximum/peak power I've ever seen now.
so
1) Turning my 80W 1060 into a 60W 1060 max-q via a msi afterburner profile.
2) Undervolting my i7-8750H by -135mv core, -135mv cache, -125mv intel igpu.
3) And also limiting my CPU from 3.9Ghz to 3.5Ghz with throttlestop when gaming.
4) Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut repaste.
When gaming with default fans (never max)....CPU temps stay in the 75 to 78C range.
GPU stays in the 72 to 77C range.
The laptop body feels warm, never hot.......and the fans are inaudible with the speakers active.
All this and I can still play AAA games at high settings 60fps......Thin and light gaming laptops are awesome....but they need tuning and a lot of TLD (Tender Loving Care).
I was trying to decide which XPS to get im glad i watched this video. I'll stay clear of the i9. The i7 9750 OLED with 512 GB SSD and 16 GB RAM is only $1600. Is that a good deal still? I want to mainly do some light video editing.
Great video, Tom - thank you!
@550, next dell item, XPS-trousers in two versions, touch and non-touch :)
trouser heatsink included
I think for an all around experience is the best laptop in the world ....
I have an xps 15 from 2017 and a new razerblade 15. Build quality on the Xps 15 is far superior
yeaa.. you can even cook on this!!
Is that meant to sound like Jeremy Clarkson or did I just read it like that?
@@brev5003 And I have an MSI 17 inch with all the bells and whistles and my Dell XPS studio from 2009 was made so much better that I vowed to stick with Dell. Its night and day the build quality. That piece of shit MSI's screen split in half and had dents all over it bc of the shitty thin metal it's made with. Dell's are made very, very well.
Esa Elias If your buying this type of laptop, I doubt sound quality is a deal breaker. Yr either hooking externals or using wireless earphones like normal people
When do the fan(s) kick in? Is the XPS dead silent in IDLE and lower workloads like browsing or YT 1080p/4K?
Great vid Tomas! I got myself 7590 with i7, 512gb, 16 Gb ram, 4k LCD, 4y warranty, 4y accidental damage and 3y battery service for 2100+ euro
Hey Ignas that is an amazing Price. Where did you bu it? Cheers D. :)
