Still working on improving the mic quality and also starting to review some Windows laptops. Thanks for watching and hope ya enjoy!
I'm surprised you're getting writing speeds of 1100; I've heard most reviewers say they don't get writing speeds above 300. Did you tweak your hardware a bit?
Ah I don’t get it. You compare everything with Apple then complain about USB-A
Lmao !
Scrolled to the comment section just to write this
Apple, what is Apple?
Apple fanboy logic... Apple can do no wrong, even though it cost 2-3 times more.
Bruhhh I heard “not as good as a MacBook Pro” wayyy too many times.
Bro should've just titled the video ‘Dell XPS 15 vs MacBook Pro’
Stop mentioning the McBook to compare because most of us don't use one.
JulianChee seriously? It’s still uses an Intel chip like any other laptop. Paying for a name is not worth it. And still no touch screen for the iMac. Overpriced Apple products.
Can’t compare an iOS vs Windows system. Overpriced Macs with minor changes and the price increase is unreal.
kanehi 💻 MacBooks are trash
Well, it's possible that Dell is also targeting Apple users i.e. compelling them to switch to Dell.
90% of his fanbase are apple sheep anyway
*Title* : Dell XPS 15 (9570) Review - Almost Perfect!
*Infinity Labs* : Roasts it for not being a Macbook
and ignores the fact that the macbook is double the price same specs
@@deuelellan2446 exactly
Deuel Ellan but has better speakers, display, support, trackpad, OS.
@@Smorfar yeah but if you compare the macbook with other windows laptops of the same price like those from Razer, then Macbook's ass will be on fire
you lost me at " I haven't used like a ton of laptops before....."
I thought Dave 2d re uploaded his video when I saw the thumbnail, haha!
Same
Dave2D isn't an Apple "compare everything to MacBook Pro" fanboy
Same, and when I heard the voice I was like WTF :D
The 1050 ti may not be great but it’s miles ahead of the 555 in the 3200$ macbook pro
أبو عبدالله بن سعيد The MacBook Pro has Vega 20 which is just as good. However, Dell offers much better value if you like Windows
Yeah, but the macbook pro with a vega 20 is about double the price of a dell xps 15 with a 1050 ti which is a crazy difference to pay for macos
أبو عبدالله بن سعيد I agree the Vega 20 model is just too expensive, but I mean some people have that much money to spend on a laptop.
Apple used to have a 30% premium charge over competitors, but now competitors are offering just as good build quality with better specs at half the cost, its getting ridiculous.
Bro i returned my xps 15 for the mbp 15 2018
My dell xps heat sink fan keep on turning on and off during editing videos. Is this normal ?
Which zepherous model from Asus did you say would be the best option for a small chassis?
Thank you this really helped in narrowing down my decision on what laptop i want to buy to make my own CZcams videos :)
Concise review, thank you! Was there any any coil whine noticed? Because I saw a couple of reviews that mentioned that and probably it would be a deal breaker for many people. Thanks again.
dell xps 15 9570 or macbook pro 2017? which one i have 2 buy?
if the speakers are really under the chassis and we still have an okay-ish thermal than whats the point of not having a full keyboard? there are plenty of space on both side to put a numpad.
Could you post the link to that wallpaper? Thanks!
where i can download the same background images?
from where did you got this walpaper pls
Great review, thank you! I have to choose between this and the XPS 13 for web development. Obviously the 13's advantage is its size and weight. Given I won't be gaming, do I need to worry about the heat of the 15 slowing me down? Will the 13 actually perform better since it has dual fans but doesn't have the heftier GPU heating it up? Just need something that works faster than I can which is not the case with the Latitude 7370.
Thank you for the great review , Would this be good to use Premier Pro ?
Apple would charge $10000 for this
Tomisin Idowu Not really. About 3000 dollars now with vega 20.

Dell XPS 15 (9570) Review - Almost a MacBook!
*Almost as shite as a MacBook!
Man thanks for the video and review. I'm planning on buying this laptop. I'm going to use it strictly for content creation. How long can you use it to edit and render videos before it throttles. I dont game so that's not a big deal but would like to get into video and photo stuff. The throttling is the main issue I've heard about
Where do you get all those wallpaper?
It's dell xps review or comparing to MacBook pro?
Would you recommend this laptop for an architecture student?
Do you know when the (9580) 2109 will be released¡?
So same as last year.
Pretty good ports?. This has the best port selection you can get..
does it have adaptive lighting?
This video is so professional how do you only have 11k subs?
hi, does anyone here have a serious banding issue and bad mid-tones in Dell XPS 15? It was a recommended laptop for photo and video editing, 4k display, awesome colours hurray, but stuff like that happens. I have BIOS and drivers up to date, downloaded Dell PremierColor, intel graphics settings and nothing works. Does anyone know how to fix this or have better laptop in mind? Thanks a lot
For this formfactor 1050Ti Max-Q is one of the best video options. How is that a weakest point? :/
have gotten any issues with it
Thank you for comparing to the MacBook Pro cause that’s exactly what I’m looking to switch over from
Just bought one XPS 15 9570 for simple family videos editing after viewing this review and a bunch of other similar reviews. I tried it with several free video software to select the most suitable for my needs (Davinci resolve, openshot etc.) but I am very disappointed...Something's wrong. It's Lagging and the sounds cut when I check my videos preview while editing if im trying to add a filter or something else than the video itself and soundtrack. I'm far away of being an expert in video editing and that's why I related on those reviews to buy my computer wich was suppose to be Amazing even in 4k! I don't understand...any ideas ? My set-up and historic resume... XPS 15 9570 (2018) 4k display with the i7 / 16GB Ram/Nvidia gtx 1060Ti / 128 SSD / (not loaded...have external hard drive but put the videos i am working on on my SSD), Docking station TB16 (lagging when plugged in and unplugged too...). Made all the BIOS and updates possibles trough Nvidia, Windows and Dell prior starting using it...(Mid-January). Editing MTS video files from a Canon cam...expecting burning blue rays disc. (Sorry for my english) Thanks
Your camera quality is incredible, great review!
Thank you! Happy you liked the video :)
What is that wallpaper?
Great video helped me make up my mind .
I came for a dell review not a dell XPS vs Mac video 🤦♀️🙄
How can it be gtx 1050 ti max Q?
I literally just bought this and I just got it today :-) it's a good computer man
Does it feel too big, 4 pounds seems kinda heavy...from what i've seen it just looks really big
Thanks For The Review! I’m A Dell Technician and if I’m not mistaken you can do it on the BIOS to Max your Fan.
I have the same model, I bought it like 2 weeks ago and only watching CZcams the battery lasts like 3 and a half hours, when I’m charging the computer sometimes it says 3 minutes to fully charge and takes 20 minutes or more to fully charge, do you think my computer has an issue ? Do I need to fix it ? I don’t know if someone has the same problem, please respond. Thanks
R370XX_122 You probably have 54wh battery. Check your service tag for full information or open your back cover to see. This model with 4k and high specs should last 9-10 hrs because of their 97wh battery.
yes not only do you prob have the 54 whr battery, you have to account that 4k monitors are BATTERY HOGS.
“Coming from a MacBook Pro” x57 times
You can control the fan speed via the dell software.
Always a room in the heart for ultrabooks and esp for dell ultrabooks
I want to buy a laptop for animation and gaming. Can someone advice me which one to choose between the *Razer Blade 15*, the *Asus HERO-GL504GM-ES152T* and the *Dell XPS 15* ?
Thaanks !
The XPS 15 is, sadly, not a gaming laptop, even though it CAN game. The thermal design can't keep it cool under heavy load for long periods of time, so your fps will drop. Also, the 1050ti is quite a bit behind the 1060. It CAN play games, just not super intense stuff. If you would consider yourself a gamer, go for the ASUS. If you game periodically and focus more on content creation and want an (this is an opinion) all around better laptop, buy either the Dell or the Razer. The Blade 15 IS a gaming laptop, it just fits in better with the premium, sleek laptop category rather than the laptop that is designed specifically for gpu work and not much else. The Razer and XPS have good battery life (while the ASUS won't last very long at all. Gaming laptop battery life is usually so short that the fact that it can be used away from a wall plug is more of a bonus than anything else). They have 4k screen options. They won't feel like overkill when you pull them out in a coffee shop. They won't cause back pain if you carry them around.
In conclusion, if you are a hardcore, dedicated gamer that is okay with an aggressive, over the top gamer aesthetic and doesn't need good battery life and probably won't be bringing their laptop anywhere, consider the Asus HERO. If you have a huge budget want a thin and light laptop with a sleek, modern design, that can handle heavy gaming and animation, get the Razer. If you have a decently big budget and you want a thin and light laptop that can game adequately and edit video just as well, go with the XPS. If you want a 4k screen, definitely get the XPS unless you are planning on spending the $2900 necessary to get a 4k panel on the Razer.
It also doesn’t thermal throttle to the point where games don’t run
My comment on owning a 1080P XPS 15 for nearly 4 months. Potential buyers PLEASE read this before considering on buying one. Because after experiencing both pros and cons, I sometimes even wondered if buying this machine was the smartest choice ever or not.
Pros:
-Weight 1.8 KG (College books and this laptop weigh in nearly 5KG to me.)
-Battery is a tank ( 6.5 hrs for watching videos, 11 hrs for Microsoft Word, 6-7 hrs for Google Docs)
-Keyboard is one of the best. I've tried so many kinds of mechanical keyboard and chiclet style keyboards, this is just my favorite. (This is just a personal opinion so take it with a grain of salt.)
-Audio is crisp
-Screen is sharp and colour accuracy is on point.
Cons:
-Speakers. I have no idea how but there is a crackling sound almost every time audio is being played whether via speaker or through headphone jack. I really have no idea how reviewers didn't even experience this issue. I've tried every solution people and tech support have given and it is still there. It's amazing how you pay 1700$ or more for a machine that can't even play audio without cracking. Even cheaper laptops have no cracking noises
-The carbon fibre finish is just a smudge magnet. I have to clean the palm rest and nearby area every few days just because it is irritating.
-Finger print scanner is nothing but looks. It rarely recognizes my fingerprint in one try. Often times taking more than 5 tries.
-Too thin for it's hardware. No doubt it is light, but performance needs to pay its price. Every time I fire up a game (even if the game is more than 10 years old and not demanding), the fan sounds like F-16 jets preparing for takeoff. To make things worse, I live in a country where the only season I have is summer, temperatures will surely reach higher levels which causes me to undervolt it.
it's not really meant for gaming. It's more multimedia and some light gaming perhaps.
Thanks man, thanks for the review. I'm seriously in the market and want a good one.
Hi mate, nice review! I have Dell XPS 15 9570, and lately I just realized that my fan is always on when it's plugged in, even when I'm doing moderate to no task with cpu temp hovering between 36'C to 40'C. have you encountered the same problem? or is it just dell xps 15 slim design that let the fan on when charged? Really appreciate the video
Jason Suteja try to update the drivers and the bios, and do all the windows updates. You might have things running on the background that are sucking juice
Check gpu usage in nvidia software
@@gauravgarg8990 Hi, Thank you for replying. I checked and it seems like steamwebhelper.exe is always on and using GPU. even when I'm not running/opening steam. (The icon is still there on task-bar). do you have any idea to solve this? or exiting steam is my only way to go?
Sold the 2018 MacBook pro 15 and got this Dell XPS 15 9570! This Dell XPS is amazing and I definitely recommend it!
Also, when you pay about 20 bucks and replace the Killer Wi-Fi card with a new Intel one, it gets even better!
@@pmAdministrator Yes you are absolutely correct that was the first thing I did when I bought the lapto. Intel 9260 Wi-Fi card is 👌 $16
I bought one 9570 now, I'm loving it, but there's only having a problem that sometimes, instead of sleeping, he switches totally off when I close the lid. and then I have to open everything again. does anyone know how to solve this problem? I've already put sleeping in all the settings and it did not work.
I fresh installed windows and this stopped happening
This was resolved in firmware 1.7.0. I saw it in the release notes.
Hey! Can I use this (i7, 8750H, GTX 1050 Ti, 16 GB ram, 512GB ssd for graphic designing and video editing (multitasking)? Will it run smoothly? Does it get very very hot and interferes with the performance? Also, is there a lot of difference between FHD and 4K display? Please suggest. Thank you.
FHD is more value because you get 8 hours+ battery life
Not as great as Butterfly switches of Apple 😂 . That's the best compliment you can give for a laptop keyboard . Those butterfly keys are the worst mechanism a keyboard can get .
Yeah. This guy was clearly a victim of the apple take over initiative that happened 10 years ago.
Was about to type the same thing 👍
my guess is he was talking about the older macbook pro keyboards.. they are not great, but not as horrible as the new ones. In fact that is one of the major reasons when a mac user doesn't upgrade for many years, not only do you lose the older style keyboards but you get a touchbar instead - which means you are losing an entire row of keys and instead would have to look down every time you hit a key. That said, being a mac user is all about living with inconveniences - that's what you do when you put fashion ahead of usability.
@@michaelxz1305 Thanks for that comment. Last sentence really helped me see the bigger picture
its awesome if you get the right product. Mine had black screen issues 10 days in.
Was this or the Huawei Matebook Pro X. Ended up with the Matebook because it's fairly smaller, (better battery life?), and its 3:2 screen ratio, which is perfect for the school/browsing needs I have. The touchscreen is also a nice touch considering creating videos for the students at middle school where drawings is a big part of the way they learn. Just wanted to share my experience considering these two laptops are quite in the same market, so if you have any questions feel free to ask me below. Cheers from Norway! :)
How's the screen glossiness? I heard it's bad.
Thank you I'm going to buy this!
Light?

I've had this labtop for about 4 months or so which I use for video editing. This computer sucks and is driving me crazy! I can't figure out if it's a driver problem or what but the color saturation and hue, especially of the color red keeps changing with different updates. I've tried calibrating the monitor but the problem persists. Dell premium color sucks so bad, when I change from vibrant to rec709 for example, absolutely nothings changes, the gamma and colors remain the same!! If anyone knows of a fix for these problems let me know, I'm about ready to throw this computer out the window!!
I stumbled over some posts that point to some background service (identifiable through the task manager) that needs to be disabled. AFAIK it's a Dell tool for "calibration", yet only after you disabled it, you'd be able to calibrate yourself. Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate if you gave me a heads up here, as I'm still considering buying this gear
Tyler Crawford throw it in my window!
@@hanson4035 LMAO 😂😂😂
The biggest issue with this laptop is QC. Myself and many others have no issues, however a lot of people have had faulty models. Entirely possible you have a defect on your hand, which is common with this laptop.
Awesome, straight to point review ;)
Love your video! It is shot in such a unique way. It truly showcases the laptop and not YOU. Like, I can actually see the device and how it looks, and also see how it functions in real time. This is awesome and perfect for a review video. Keep them coming!! BTW, I actually have this laptop and I agree on all of this :) I am now a subscriber! I also am a software engineer so when I say your videos are unique, thorough, and great, I definitely mean it!
-Marah Gray
Thank you! Awesome to hear you liked it :)
who actually needs to open a laptop onehanded
No one, it just shows it's a well engineered hinge. It means it's not too stiff and not too loose.
Infinity Labs that also means that it's more prone to wobbling. Stiff is good

I got the 9570
i7 8750
1080p
128SSD 1TB HDD
8gb ram
I'm loving the machine so far, performance track pad, keyboard, battery life, and build are all top notch
My only gripe is with the speakers, they are just awful.
I repasted my gpu and cpu which fixed throttling issue. 1080p best choice for mobility as i get almost 8 hours programming time. Speakers are non issue for me because i have the Bose QC35s. Great laptop, but full specs like mine put me at 3800 usd.
Did you just say apple’s keyboard is better? That’s like a 1 in 1000 point of view
"mAC bOkE" with Short travel don't like it the best
thinking of buying this for college this fall because my home desktop is slow and outdated and i have no laptop, this would replace my home desktop and be my daily driver, so the battery life is very important, but on a 1080p screen for better battery life and not gaming during the day because college, i think this is suffice. thanks!
I wish you reviewed the basic model
MSI : “ Hold my mineral water “
wow, thanks for such an amazing video!
you are very welcome killer shrimpstar!
Lol. It's just like every other video review. Same shit said in every one. Nothing new. Amazing!!!!!!!!
I was choosing between XPS 9570 and the Matebook X Pro but ended up going with the X Pro. Never regretted it for a second.
Both laptops are awesome. Saying that won't make any of them better but I am happy you like it
Be nice if they developed a 17 inch version of this. I guess not much chance of that.
can the xps 15 handle about 1 hour of gaming everyday?
More
Still not quite the engineering marvel that the MBP is (when the case isn't as hot as a small sun)... but hey, you can replace your own RAM, SSD, etc. That's worth a lot.
I have the exact laptop, i bought it 3 months ago and so far everything you said was 100% True (for anyone wondering).
For anyone buying this laptop , just know that it has very bad speakers !
I do however have one issue with this laptop and wanted to ask u if u have the same. Every time i turn on Bluetooth or connect any device (Ex. USB) the
screen flickers colors (doesnt turn off just flickers random colors) for a few seconds. Are you having a similar problem>?
Mega Soft I own the laptop as well, and use Bluetooth quite often. I have never had such defect. I would get it checked out asap.
Hi, can I increase the SSD to 1TB, that is, by adding another 512GB drive?
You can install a 1tb ssd instead of the 512, or get it with 1tb from Dell. Also you can expand the ram up to 32gb
Bassjeroen i would just get a samsung 970 evo, not an ssd from dell speeds are way better on samsung ssds
@@lucianistoc1264 that's what I said right, install one yourself (aka fastest on the market) or get one from Dell
I'm watching this almost 2 years later for a review for the DELL XPS 15 9570 maybe for it's pros and cons. What I don't need to know is how good APPLE has over what it lacks. I don't have an APPLE macbook, so how am I suppose to know what you're comparing it to? If the video would've said "APPLE macbook vs DELL xps " then sure, make the comparison. You had me at "it's not like apple"
btw a 1050ti isn't a bad gpu it is not high-end but it is not bad MacBook uses radeon gpu so idk what u think is bad that ur not used to
Hi bro
I wanted your help on this thing
I ordered this laptop on cyber Monday deal
Fhd model
16 gb ram
i7
256 ssd
Yeah I am worried about the storage
Can you please tell me how can I externally increase my storage ? I only want a SSD option so I don’t want normal hard disks
Do you know an external SSD that I can use to increase my space in my laptop?
Bro please reply to me it will be appreciated
And I don’t want to buy internal SSDs
I am a noob in removing the screws and I will just mess it up
So if you know any external SSDs that I can it will be gr8
I only want to go for SSDs as I don’t want the decrease in speed
So normal hard disks won’t suffice
You can connect a USB SSD like the Samsung T5. Performs like an internal SATA SSD (550MB/s) but connects through USB. This is a bit inconvenient since it hangs off the side and you’ll always have a USB port busy. Best Buy has it on sale for nearly half off, can get it in 256/512/1TB/2tb.
Infinity Labs thanks a lot
You need to stick with Apple because you criticize every part of this Dell claiming it is inferior to Apple in every way. A review that is completely negative is not very informative.
Just got mine!! (Rose gold) 9370 Welcome to the XPS family
Yeah looks so good! Hoping they’ll bring the white/rose gold to the XPS 15 with the next gen.
Seems like u didn't use Windows laptop before..
For a laptop not intended to be a gaming device, I think it can compete with the likes of an original PS4 or original Xbox One with those FPS stats you showed. Maybe I'm wrong, though, I don't know.
u should do a tutorial on how to do the glaive god glitch
I think we actually did a meme video where we said like you had to spam engineer abilities LOL
Does someone made you do video about XPS forcefully!
Reminds me of Marina Joyce
Notebookcheck measured AdobeRGB coverage as 79%, not 100%
Oh my goodness sorry for being late. I've been busy with school and stuff and like I'm struggling to keep straight 100's and like yeah sorry.
Did you really used Apple laptop keyboard as a comparison here? Come on, maybe the pre-2015 ones, but not the flat crap they put on their laptops now.
I... am actually cool w him comparing it w the macbook pro..
I'm a 9570 owner and this laptop is a nightmare. Quality control on this device sucks and buying one is literally a gamble. In FHD models backlight bleed can be really bad. Not to mention DCP latency issues and audio crackling. And by the way, Dell screws up the BIOS in every update. They've messed already with the sleep states (it can cook itself inside your backpack) and the GPU setpoint, and many more issues with the 4K models (blown colors, glitchy touchscreens). People have been complaining for months on Dell's forums, Twitter and Reddit and they just keep ignoring their userbase. Never buying a Dell again.
I'm actually getting this laptop :-) but it's on Overstock now so it's on sale for like 940. 😁😁
@@vrishabhrai220 you responded a little late I already got this computer I actually liked it a lot.
Another well balanced concise video.
Thanks! Was worried about that so appreciate the feedback
I‘v seen some posts about the speakers buzzing problem, it made me think twice and I still didn't buy one.
John Fang I’ve had this laptop for a couple of month and encountered this problem many times. There’s is a simple and fast fix but it only lasts about a week until you have to do it again. It’s not a big deal at all and it can be fixed with a firmware update. Don’t let it stop you from buying one, best laptop I’ve ever owned
It happens to me on a daily basis. Incredibly annoying.
@@LikeAHawk13 If the firmware update can fix the problem permanently, that would be good news. I'm so into the 4K screen.
@@boasa do you know how to fix it? right click on the volume icon on the task bar and turn off/turn on spatial sound. fixes the problem instantly. next time buzzing occurs turn it back on or turn it off which you didnt click last time and itll work again. takes 5 seconds to fix, only happens me once every 2 weeks i would say
Am a MBP 15 user for the past 10 years. I decided to give it a go and bought myself a Dell XPS 15 (9560) One year ago. The honeymoon last 3 to 4 months max, then I started to miss Macos. The built and feel of the xps is a macbook pro killer hands down, however, one needs to be a Windows fan to enjoy the xps to its fully IMO. For Macos users like me, the gorgeous minimal look, feel and built of the xps will wear off after a while. I have had many issues with the wifi, which is a shared observation from other owners of the xps. The speakers which I agree, are not exceptional to begin with, are getting worse one year later too.
Raph Ranon-Jones great for Linux users though, especially considering you can’t install Linux on a MacBook anymore.
this one is hackintosh compatible. apple dont kill me :P
I can tell you prefer MacBook, though many other would somewhat disagree that the MacBook isn't better. Also this laptop GPU is one of its selling point, it's a laptop built with editors in mind, wasn't made for gamers.
Yep, you guessed it. Another thing is that this was the first 15" windows laptop that I've ever reviewed so I just didn't have the context for where this laptop belonged on the market. Gotten better now that I've reviewed more laptops but yea
"Dell XPS 15 (9570) Review - Where's the black table m8"
Overall pretty good,10/10
Man I was getting ready to shoot with that sick new black table and then I realized the laptop is black as well, and I wasn't about to use that boring white table so went with wood. Was ok, maybe if my black/blue table was a bit lighter
0:54 Wait, what??? Really? You must be one of a very few people who have that opinion. That's cool and all, I'm just surprised.
i was one of your earlier subscribers. this review...is bad. i've owned 3 xps 15's to date. you can't keep comparing this to a MBP. Also, the trackpad is the best in the windows world. every positive had a negative. cmon dude
i have this laptop with the i9 and get bluescreen 10 times a day...just a warning to u guys
I had this XPS for five months. I had many issues. It didn’t recognise the charger. The screen
bleed made watching videos and Netflix a pain, not the great experience I was
expecting from a high end laptop. The sound went crazy after a bios update four
weeks ago. Dell sent a tech guy to replace the motherboard, the screen and the
speakers. BitLocker had been set up by Dell so when the new components were
replaced the laptop was locked. Dell solution was a fresh install of Windows.
All my info would be wiped……NOT GOOD! I had done my research but Dell are doing
quite a lot wrong. I don’t want to but maybe it’s time to go back to Apple. Any
suggestions?
