    A little late to the party but who cares, right? This is RUclips! Anyway, I got the 9530 (i9 + 40W RTX 4070 + FHD). Don't hate. It was a corporate decision. I had limited options. I know it'll be a significant bump with the 4070 even if it's capped at 40W. It's not a gaming device but it'll do me just fine given the games I do play. The only buyer's remorse I have is the FHD. I can't say for sure at this point since the device only arrives next week. In any case, I did a lot of research and made a choice given my limited options. (Nothing marketed as gaming makes it through the corporate gate.)

    I got a 9510 at best buy certified refurbished (i7 + 3050ti model) for $925. Insane deal!

      Hello Nolan,
      Do you still have it ? i'm thinking to buy it now? if you have it, please give me a quick review.

      @@ahmedaliiiii this was pre macbook experience. I'd get a m3 macbook in a heartbeat over this. Way way better battery life. Or maybe the Surface Laptop 7 with the snapdragon X cpu. There's been too many advances in mobile computing for you to look at this. Unless it's sub $700 it's overpriced for what you'd get

    I'm glad I saw this as I was on the fence if I made the right decision. I just got the 9510 ordered for $1299 to use for editing when I travel and the amount that I saved not only allowed me to buy a new Wacom Tablet, (2) 2 tb Evo SSD's and 64gb RAM.

      You bought the 2tb and 64gb right? It did not come with the dell deal?

    I got the 9510 OLED i7 16GB 1TB for $999 open box. Stunning screen. But the problem is that the trackpad is loose and very annoying.
    But nothing a bit of white duct tape can't fix.

      Congrats! It's an unbeatable laptop for the price. I love mine. I just wish they didn't preinstall windows 11 on it. Windows 11 is so slow and buggy on all my laptops regardless of spec.

    I agree , go with the 4K display, its absolutely worth it even on XPS 13. i have no problem to sacrifice some battery life for a good screen

    I think I'm waiting for the 4000 series mobile to upgrade. Just want a bit more flexibility in use case even if the priority for a laptop like this is thin and mobile. Hopefully throttling will be less of an issue if the updated graphics aren't pushed as hard.

    I bought the i9 9520 with the OLED. Expensive but for my work it's worth getting the top specs. And so far, no throttling.

      @@anandmasurkar4840 Yes and no. Under stress, yes. Browsing the Web, no. If you need a quiet machine, this isn't the best but it's not the worst. It's fast. I have an additional SSD for 2tb. Windows 11 has some issues so make sure you update all the drivers. If you love Windows like I do, this is a great machine. I tweaked it to eliminate edge in search.

    I'd say go with 9520. 9510 had a ton of trackpad problems and they redesigned the trackpad on the new one.
