The XPS is targetted towards a market that is similar to what the Macbook Pro is aiming at. Creative professionals and/or media enthusiasts who need a mobile computer powerful enough to handle what they need. Gamers on the other hand may not necessarily care about weight, and instead want maximum performance, which usually entails a much thicker design to accomodate the cooling required for such a load.
Zeldagigafan exactly. The styling and disappointing lack of ports are very obviously an attempt at stealing some of the MacBook market share. I could see playing Minecraft or CS:GO on this with moderate settings.
Great in depth review. Heading to college next semester to study Electrical Engineering, and this seems like a good laptop for that but also for some lighter gaming for someone who comes from Xbox. Probably getting the FHD i7 with 8gig ram and 256g SSD. I have an external drive for games and can also just use OneDrive for docs and other files. Great and very helpful video 👍
Interested to hear what you think about my conclusion, how basically I'd get the Aero/MAG-15 with 1660 Ti for similar money and better CPU performance with similar feature sets - some people are getting mad at me for not picking the XPS Haha
Jarrod'sTech Ah man you cant please everyone. I agree in terms of specs and performance but for me as long as it “can” game and do all my video editing. I’m happy with the trade off of a bit of performance for IMO a more premium metal build and design and battery life. The 1660 is the sweet spot and hopefully they work on the thermals and at least give us a 1650 super with 6GB if that’s a thing. Would be nice if it could do a 1660 but I think they will keep it 130W
I recently made the switch from apple! Extremely excited for this laptop! Only current issue is it keeps going to sleep. No particular time. Initially thought it was due to updates and program downloads but it did so also after I plugged in an external hard drive??? Changed battery/sleep/hibernate settings and still occurs. I’ll be contacting dell support later this evening regarding this issue Thorough review! I enjoyed the video! Thank you
IM also thinking of switching for my laptop. I want finally want to be able to use proper GPU power since i also do 3d design aside of graphic work. I like this design because it still has a more quality look, great looking display, black finish. I do feel its behold back quite a lot due to bad cooling design. Im thinking about this one, the y540 or y740 or the Zypherus G14. All quite different machines. But not full blown gaming machines. PS how is the switch from OSX to Windows, i used to work on them both. BUt now I've been working on OSX for around15 yr torso, i kinda hate the windows system a lot. I find it counter intuitive compared to OSX. Whats your take in it?
Well I purchased it from Bestbuy and even upgraded shipping.. These ass holes emailed me today saying it may not ship out until Jan 2020.. Order canceled... Never again Bestbuy... Never again..
Another really thorough review, thank you! Any chance you could test this model's main competitor- HP Spectre X360 15t AMOLED GTX 1650?? Thanks again for all your efforts to make these quality reviews. Your channel is where I stop first to get the details of systems I'm interested in.
Thanks! Unfortunately HP don't send me review units and they cost too much in my country for me to buy just to review, sorry. I've tried everything to make this happen. I've sent countless emails to every address I can find, made phone calls, even met with their staff at various events and exchanged business cards but nothing has come of it, so I can only assume they're not interested.
Just got the 32gb ram, 1tb SSD m.2 nvme, i7.9750h and gtx1650, uhd touch ips screen on BF. I'll tell you how it goes when it arrives. Estimated delivery on the 18th. :)
Hey Jarod! Love your reviews! It would be great if you could include rendering times and video editing performances. It will help creators, editors and filmmakers to choose better. Again, great videos. Keep it up!
Yeah I will start doing that, it's just a pain to install Premiere, plus I'd be starting from scratch as I haven't done standard testing on previous machines so not really any data to compare with built up like the other tests.
@@bradhaines3142 Also I just get really inconsistent results so it's hard to properly do it. Now I think about it, I did get Premiere results on the XPS 15 to use in future videos. I exported this video 3 times, and got 19:50, 19:14, then 18:27, like what am I supposed to do with that lol, why does it get faster each time? Makes no sense.
@@JarrodsTech thats a weirdly significant difference, is there some sort of compression to it? how fast does it take on the 15x? be good to figure out where the difference is
Have this laptop 4K touch display. It’s amazing. Although, when I got it, I immediately noticed a weird lag on the display and after weeks figured out that it was the display resolution. For anyone experiencing weird lag (you can tell if you open the settings application while in dark mode and minimize and maximize), simply downscale your resolution. You don’t need it to run at 4K all the time anyway & it helps with thermals as well. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue!
Spagneto honestly I’m not sure if it’s even a problem. I have a gaming pc & I’m so used to seeing screens above 120hz so it might just be my eyes. Let me know if you notice anything with yours though!
This Black Friday i finally bought my new laptop :) I choose the HP pavilion 15 with the Ryzen 7 3750H, the GTX 1660 ti Max-Q, 16 gb of RAM, 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD for only 900 euro (996 $). Is not the top laptop, but at this price is a good deal :) Anyway, good review as always and thanks for all the info in all yours reviews :)
I could've given you a real-life review mate. I have the exact same specs and my device works really well. The performance is amazing and trust me I know. I've been doing high-quality production work for companies for a long time and no other device can match the performance this laptop has. You had a review unit, which has been stressed and tested a lot, which reduces it's overall performance.
That wouldn't effect it. Fact is it is just outperformed by other machines, regardless of it actually works well in most workloads. The power limit is capped and that wouldn't change with use over time.
@@JarrodsTech Hope it's going to а great competitor to new MB 16, with same slim bezels, bit bigger footprint, but with much better thermal behaviour and improved speakers. That might be the best all-rounder!
Great review! Thanks very much. I ordered mine 2 days ago and after watching the video I am sure I did the right thing. This is what I expected from this laptop. Stay cool, stay silent and run longer. I do not need high cpu/gpu power (though I didnt buy i5 with iGPU but i7 with gtx1650 to be future-proof). Great job on the review. I watched several other reviewers also but this one was very nicely put👍
Elbay Malik Would u recommend it to me for video editing I do wanna get it but what scares me is the thermal issues I have been hearing on how hot it gets during certain things u do on it
@@Stopdeletingmycomments depends on what you are working on. And GPU is easy to replace by thunderbolt to a eGPU. So that is not even interesting part for me as it is quite easy to replace GPU
@@rican6718 my usage will not be towards video editing but I know that you can edit videos even in 13" version of dell xps. So, the only thing you should be aware of is the time required for compiling videos. I am sure you can find lots of reviews in web discussing that aspect of laptops
I got the Dell XPS 15 9560 and it's given me software and hardware problems, definetly don't use it for gaming, it destroyed my battery life where I only had 1 hour battery life from the factory 56w. The bought a 97wh from ebay bout 1/2 a year ago and it gave me 6 hours of battery life, decided to paly another demanding game for about a week and my laptop got hot...now with brightness at low, I only get about 2 hour battery life with just browsing XD. Gonna probably buy a new 15" laptop in 1 year exactly but hesistant on buying the Dell XPS 15 again. It seems like this year model is pretty good especially battery life, but maybe the 9600 or whatever they call it next year will be even better.
I wouldn't suggest using ANY laptop on battery for gaming for the reasons covered here: jarrods.tech/why-playing-games-on-laptop-battery-power-is-bad-in-my-opinion/ basically it's just a bad time regardless of machine.
Hey Jarrod! Loved the review! Could you please review the prestige 14? I really needed to know if the laptop having a single fan is as bad as people say.... Love your reviews man! Keep up to great work!
Fantastic review. Two questions: 1). Did I see correctly that the laptop is too thin to have an ethernet port? Is a dongle provided and if not which one do you use? Also what is the game you're playing starting @:30 when you're explaining the specs? Thanks so much.
I posted this on your other video but will post here again for others to see. With a -125mv undervolt on core and cache and running the GTX 1650 at 0.8V and 1695Mhz, I am getting solid performance. Turn off Turbo boost for gaming (this laptop is GPU limited for games) and the temps for CPU and GPU stay at or under 65C. No throttling. Put the rear of the laptop on something to give some breathing room to the fans. Enjoy.
I've bought it after loooong research. I haven't found anything close to it in terms of performance and design. Prestige 15 maybe was close, but felt like cheaper material product. So far loving it.
I'll probably never cover any macbooks on the channel, a couple of reasons. The channel is way too small for Apple to care about, I cannot borrow review units like I do with other brands. Their stuff is so over priced that it's not really worth me spending thousands of dollars just to do a few videos, especially with the MBP 16 as so many larger channels are already covering it to death.
Watching this w/ my new fully max spec'd out XPS 15 7590. 100% recommended. If u need something smaller, lighter, lesser graphics card, but nimble and well built go w/ Lenovo X1 Carbon. If u need some more power and workload for video editing - go with this. For gaming, definitely don't get any of these at all.
I have the XPS 15 7590 and it has been an absolute nightmare! Screen flickering rendering unusable which was apparently a "known issues" with the XPS and I've also had to pay to replace easily broken parts even though I'm under warranty because it was "accidental" which isn't covered. Not going to be buying Dell again...
So my question is pretty simple, is this a good laptop for a student that only needs this for word and stuff (and home gaming). Now the point: it’s right now on sale for 1548,99 €, but it has the i5-9300H with GTX 1650 and 2x4 8 GB DDR4 ram and a 512 GB M.2 ssd. It’s on sale at the moment (normal price is 1577,99 €) awesome review jarrod ;) as always. Maybe thinking of upgrading this thing later on the go since it’s really upgradable. But the only problem is the price since I’m only 16 and don’t really need the graphics card but it’s cool to have.
Thanks! Yes, though it's probably also overkill just for word. If anything at least it's a nice machine in terms of build quality/materials that I'd expect to last if you don't treat it like trash 😛
@@JarrodsTech i changed to the xps 13, while its sad that i cant change the ram, i like the point of the eGPU. and i dont need to pay like 200 extra € of tax. you're review of the eGPU with XPS 13 was exactly what i needed. perfect timing thank you jarrod.
@@JarrodsTech Thx for your answer. Well you dont really need to test the screen - if you put windows in dark mode you already see it, if its there... Did you check dark mode out with your test-example? I got mine for a week now and I noticed the typical vertical banding on grey, near-black colours - which one can see when windows is in dark mode. I can live with the banding but the top right corner gets reallly crushed in dark scenes. And I noticed some uniformity-issues when displaying all-white too, the left corner ist brighter than right side of the screen. Its not that bad really but I informed Dell and they offered to send a technician to replace the screen. Having read some reviews and comments online about this, it seems like most OLED-screens suffer from this issue to some degree- so now I just dont know if I should have the screen changed or not. I fear it could get worse with the new screen, hence why Im wondering if you noticed any of that behaviour in your panel.... Otherwise the screen is just gorgeus! My phone - an LG V30 - has way worse uniformity issues, and I got used to it. I dont really mind it anymore but then again: I got my phone really cheap and with a bigger screen its much more noticeable.
Cheers! I haven't tested that many so nothing much really comes to mind. There was an Acer 144hz 1080p monitor I covered on the channel in the past which still seems like a good budget option.
Very nice review! Can you test the XPS 15 with an egpu? would be interesting to see if the cpu bottleneck of ultrabooks(with epgu) are gone with the more powerful H-series processors.
Thanks, unfortunately not, I had minimal time to get the review done before sending it back so wasn't able to fit that in :( it's already been sent back.
I feel like powerful/gaming laptops that lack an ethernet port is an immediate no, but that's just me I guess. Depends on whatever the buyer is gonna use it for, of course. I like how the "gamer aesthetic" is becoming less popular, it's not particularly nice to look at, but I can't say I'm a fan of "thinner and thinner" laptops either, that cuts stuff like the ethernet port because of how thin it is.
I prefer it too, but a lot of people keep bringing up that WiFi 6 is meant to be faster, but eh, depends on the network and location and other factors of course.
Jarod, did you notice VRM throttling on this XPS (similar to older models)? Where CPU and GPU temps might be okay but Dell has placed a firmware level temperature limit. Some models of the XPS 7590 seem to come with a VRM heatsink whereas others (like yours) are absent.
@@JarrodsTech Unfortunately, I don't think it can be measured with "traditional" means as in sensors with HWiNFO. Videos I've seen use IR/Thermal cams like yours, but as you say in many videos you might not be able to disassemble them. I just find it strange that they allow the CPU to reach near Tjunction but they don't allow the GPU to boost fully or come close to Tjunction. Therefore I figured it was similar issue to previous XPS models where the VRM temp was the culprit. According to Notebookcheck their 1650 averaged 1710Mhz albeit with an Acer Nitro 5, with the majority of 7590s only hitting base clock of 1400Mhz or slightly above (according to Reddit). Great videos as always, my goto laptop and mobile GPU reviews!
I honestly don't know. There's not enough viewers asking to justify me buying it with my own money, but Lenovo are really difficult for me to borrow different models, so waiting on them to hear what they have available, I've asked for it.
Hey guys. So I'm looking to purchase a Dell XPS 15 7950 pretty soon. I recently had a Macbook Pro 15 (2013 model), but unfortunately that died on me. I loved the screen of that one to bits - it was gorgeous. Unfortunately I have eyes that are kinda sensitive/not that great, but the Macbook was perfect for them. I have borrowed a Lenovo V330 in the interim and I can't stand the quality of the screen. I don't know if it's the contrast or the colours, but it's unbearable for me - I can't go more than ten minutes without a headache forming, and for my job I'm on it all day. However, the Lenovo is a FHD screen, and so is the Dell XPS that I want (I really, really don't want the 4K - out of my price range and reflection/glossy issues). So my question is, is the FHD screen of the Dell XPS very good? Are the colours decent, the black levels crisp? You can tell I'm not a techy as any correct terminology is beyond me xD I just don't want to spend out a whole bunch of money only for the screen to be as bad as the Lenovo I'm using. I'd really appreciate some advice! Thank you all! :D
Wow those american prices are insanely cheap. Here in Denmark I just bought my XPS (15", i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 4K Touch) at the equivalent of ~900$ more.
That config what you described (not even the 4k model, only the 1920 x 1200, 15", i7, 16gb, 512ssd) costs 2600-2800 $ in my country... I need an xps :(
love the review bro. lets see how the new acer predator triton 300 could stack up against the other laptops that has the gtx 1650 gpu if its any good. will be patiently waiting for that soon enough.
Nice vid man. I wanted to ask you one thing. Considering similar pricing in my country which one would you recommend for casual gaming and 3d modelling. Y540(i5 and 1650), Nitro 5 2019 (i5 and 1650), ROG G strix (same) or the TUF Fx505 (R5 and 1650)? And please try to be decisive.
Thanks! I haven't had a chance to test the Strix G. I wouldn't pick FX505 given even last gen i5-8300H beats Ryzen 7 3750H, so Ryzen 5 is easily beat by 9th gen i5. I have a video comparing the Nitro and Y540 on the channel which might help you decide, personally I'd pick Y540 because the clean design and option of disabling Optimus, eventhough the Nitro may perform a little better.
Nice review Jarod. But the laptop is still expensive and I can not afford to buy it. I tried the 4k screen of precision 5510 andI feel comfortable with eye when trying this. I guess 4k oled screen in xps 7590 is better than 4k screen in precision 5510 and I hope in the future I will have a chance to try 4k oled sreen in dell xps 7590
I really wanna get this laptop so that I can play Sims 4 on ultra with all the expansion packs and mods. It’s not a super intense game but i’m not sure how it compares with the games you tested. Will this handle that? I also wanna do some light video editing with it.
It will be ok for video editing but I'm not sure about that game I've never tested it. If you're mainly doing games that are much better laptops with higher specs for less money than this
Thank you so much for your amazing reviews, I have one question. I'm considering buying the Aero Oled 15 with the rtx 2070. And I remember you got yourself an aero too but not an oled. Do you think getting an Oled has ahigh chance of screen burn?
I have the Aero 15x 1070 Max-Q. It definitely has a higher chance given it's something inherent to the technology, but not sure how much use it would need to see before that actually becomes an issue.
@@JarrodsTech thank you so much for the reply Jarrod that helps, would you choose the Zephyrus S 502 with full RTX 2070 over the Aero RTX 2070 IPS display?
Thanks, it was not meant to come off that way, I was meaning to imply I'd use a gigabyte aero 15 oled or eluktronics mag-15 for ALL other tasks, as either offer more performance for similar money. I probably just used the gaming example because I have done a LOT of testing there for my 1650 vs 1660 Ti video.
You are probably a very careful tech user and you tend to underestimate a bit built quality and reliability of laptops. XPS and ThinkPads charge you premium and they last for a long time. Also they look and feel balanced. Gaming laptops don't offer that
The alternatives I'm suggesting aren't really gaming laptops. The Gigabyte Aero 15 offers the same features but offers better battery life and performs better for less money, sorry but that's just the facts based on my own testing. Can't comment on thinkpads as Lenovo don't send me any, but based on my own testing there's no reason I'd pick an XPS 15 over alternatives, but that's just my opinion based on the data - the raw data is there though so people can their own choices.
I never thought I'd say this, but I seriously hope the new XPS 15 is going to be heavier, much heavier. I don't care if I can notice having a device in my bag or on my lap, for most of the time it's going to be used on a desk anyways. But I seriously care about performance and as these XPS laptops make one of the only lines on the planet to compete with the Macbook Pros, they have to be capable and fast if not better. I prefer Windows OS and the futuristic no-bezel design on the XPS, but as a user of heavy Adobe software I hope they listen to this. Points of improvement for the XPS line. • Speakers, enhance them, bring them forward. We don't care what brand it is, just deliver good sound. Especially for the creative professionals. • All webcams on laptops suck, why not be the first to introduce a relatively good webcam for once. Especially on a top Windows laptop, which is used video conferences quite a lot. • Deliver beast performance not just beast specs, we don't care what chipset and memory, graphics you have let alone don't even know what all those things mean. But it better be good even if it isn't the latest if it's fast it's fast, let it speak for itself. • Stop competing with the Macbook Air... We get it, the 13 inch model outperforms the Macbook Air on so many levels. The XPS is light more compact yet a beast comparatively etc. But the XPS 13 is still somewhat behind the Macbook Pro 13 considering performance. Whilst Windows users are almost always recommended going for the XPS, it doesn't always beat the MBP in terms of capability. I want a fast and smooth working computer and not a whole lesson on thermals CPU GPU and what not... It's time to think more about performance and actual quality compared to portability. • The trackpad, ehm yeah, make it bigger. • At some point the carbon-plastic finish has to go or change. I like it but it has to be improved, a lot. I like the white more glossy option and less rubbery feel of the new XPS 13, but why not improve that and consider using different less bendable materials. • Just keep it going! You're the best ❤❤❤
Yeah fair enough, will also depend on if Dell are willing to boost fan speed and be noisier to offer higher performance. I just wish they give the user the choice, sure by default make it quiet and not perform as well, but if I am exporting a video let me change the fan speed or something.
It just means that there is a anti-reflective coating applied on top of the glass - which of course is glossy. They try to keep the reflections under control this way. It is still way more reflective than a matte screen though. So if you prefer a matte screen for work than you shouldnt get this model. However Im actually quite impressed with the coating. It definately is less reflective than alot of other laptops Iv seen in person. Including the "normal" glass of a xps 13 with touchscreen, which I thought was too uncomfortable to use in a well lit room (I guess the xps 15 with touch uses the same glass surface?) Coming from a matte laptop surprisingly, I can live with the reflections of the 7590 OLED. Its not as bad as most other glossy screens.
@@lgjsp99 Well to be clear here: The screen is still WAY more reflective than a matte screen. But I noticed that its less reflective than most other glossy panels out there - namely all the touchscreen panels I checked out in person. Like the Lenovo Yoga, Dell XPS 13, Microsoft surface and some others.... I would say its about on par (I want to say its even a little bit better) with the macbook pros, who handle reflections quite good also (there are variations within the mac-lineup though). That beeing said, coming from a matte screen, I can live with it -and I use it on the go alot. And its also WAY more beautiful ;-) The matte screen of my other laptop just looks really grainy and liveless in comparison now....
Please do a productivity comparison with y540. I wonder if this thin chassis impact's performance other than gaming. Would be even better if you could do firefox compile test
@@JarrodsTech yeah but in productivity programs like android studio,or any other programming Ide , it's mostly never 100% load. It just gives 100% load in bursts of few second.
I had a real bad experience with this laptop. Literally the worst purchase Ive ever made in my life. Wasted over $2k. Still trying to get Dell to refund me
For the current price you might as well buy the gaming g5 or g7, which retail for about the same. Hell, the G7 is price declined to $899 right now. The XPS is $1099. Honestly, the XPS should be about $300-400 cheaper.
@@JarrodsTech In your review of the G7 you showed that they had mostly solved their heating issues, and that it ran warm, not hot. About 80c under full stress load. I would consider 90c to 100c as being problematic. Am I mistaken about this? I was planning on getting the G7 here soon.
@@JarrodsTech I'm also not planning on using this for gaming. I do quite a bit of game dev, which includes programming and modeling in blender, and the occasional build test. My game is low poly. So I will never be using this laptop for actual gaming. I just want the raw power for fast compile times and quicker workflow without being bottlenecked by the technology. My current laptop, an Acer Aspire, is like 10+ years old, and can't even run the newest version of Blender anymore. Pretty sad day, honestly. Decided it was about time to upgrade, and I have about 1k to blow.
Hey Jarrod. I am really looking at purchasing the Dell XPS 15. Looking at it with the I7 9750H, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and the 1920x1080 Screen. I'm not too concerned about the 4K as the FHD screen will boast some better battery life and storage isn't an issue as I dump my photo and video files onto two different external drives. My question is this, are there any laptops you would recommend I buy over the XPS 15 that have better performance when it comes to Lightroom, Photoshop and Premiere Pro? I have heard good things about the Lenovo Extreme Gen 2 but I can get the Dell XPS as spec'd above for $1619.99 plus tax (Canadian) at the moment. Which to me seems like an unreal price. Thanks if you respond! I am just very unsure at the moment as there are so many laptops to choose from at the end of the day.
Yeah personally I'd look at the Gigabyte Aero 15 (new one with improved cooling, not the old model), or the Eluktronics MAG-15. All have the same core extra features that most other laptops are missing (Thunderbolt/SD card slot/big battery (MAG also has mech keyboard)). They're priced similarly but with better CPU/GPU performance as they come with GTX 1660 Ti for similar money, but that is about 50% faster in games compared to the 1650. You can get a rough idea of how the XPS 15 stacks up with this graph covering recent laptops I tested in Premiere, I actually exported this XPS 15 review as the test video haha: jarrods.tech/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/lenovo-y540-adobe-premiere-performance-1536x864.png
Jarrod'sTech hey, by any chance did you experience any serious thermal throttling when you tested this under heavy loads. Some other reviewers mentioned undervolting to stop thermal throttling, however I didn’t notice you mention it. Thanks
No, thermal throttling did not happen, at least after 3 minutes. For the first 3 minutes of heavy load, yes it could, but then once it settles in it caps the power limit to reduce performance which prevents thermal throttling at the expense of low performance. I go into this in probably way too much detail here: ruclips.net/video/MXfSwNiyzMo/видео.html
Finally! Ive been waiting for you to review this laptop. Is this given to you? Is the laptop sponsored by dell? Or did you get this yourself? I think its important that we know this.
They send it out to me to cover and I send it back after I'm done with it, it already went back last week. This is the case with about 98% of the laptops on the channel, the others I bought with my own money to keep include the Lenovo L340, Y530, and Y540 (Lenovo don't send me much..) If this was a sponsored video, I would have disclosed it. I don't do sponsored reviews on the channel either. Also I doubt they'd want to do paid content when my conclusion is basically "there are better laptops than this for less money".
I'll probably never cover any macbooks on the channel, a couple of reasons. The channel is way too small for Apple to care about, I cannot borrow review units like I do with other brands. Their stuff is so over priced that it's not really worth me spending thousands of dollars just to do a few videos, especially with the MBP 16 as so many larger channels are already covering it to death.
@@JarrodsTech I agree, but if you want your channel to grow you need to review Apple products. Why not just do what every other small tech reviewers do, buy the product and then return it. You might have to pay a restocking fee but it's cheaper than buying it.
You can watch my Prestige 15 video and compare :) I can't recall the results so you may as well just watch it instead of me doing the same and typing it out 😅 the prestige probably runs hotter, but the CPU also actually can sustain 45w in multicore load whereas the XPS 15 chokes down to 15w.
Hi Jarrod. I have just ordered this machine with the i9 mainly for video editing, software development and data science, but I will occasionally play games on it too ;-). I run VMs (so need the 32GB) and the data stuff can get really intensive so a little concerned about the three-minute thermal throttling that you mention. Does the cooling pad that you show in your video help with this? Or is there likely to be a mod to allow boosting the fans? Currently, on my Surface Pro machines, I use a USB fan to help, which works but is noisy. Do you recommend the pad in your video, or another pad or a bloody great desk fan, or just not buying this laptop?
The issue seems to just be how Dell have programmed it, after a while of consistent CPU load the power limit lowers in order to keep the thermals under control. In theory if you can cool it better, it may not do that as soon, also hard to say how the i9 model may differ to what I tested here. Basically any cooling pad or even a basic stand should do the job, I just use a giant one so I can use it regardless of what laptop I am testing. You can see how 3 pads of different size and a stand compare here: ruclips.net/video/tXvKiy65pwg/видео.html
@@JarrodsTech Still holding up amazingly. I got it on ebay for $332 and even used its worth $600. New is probably over $1200 but they don't make them new anymore obviously. But it was still an amazing deal. i7-4712HQ 16GB RAM 512GB SSD 2GB GDDR5 91WH 1920 x 1080
@@falken7610 Yeah. I was planning to make profit on this laptop since I have a desktop but its amazing. And I bid on it at first, bid $180 and won then I bought missing parts for it such as the ram 16gb for $35, brand new power supply for $25 (they go for $90 on dell's website) and a few more stuff. I did tons of research though. First time I lost the auction but no one paid for it so it got relisted and the second time I won.
I’m really worried about the sound of the fan and the thermals. Does it get super hot? I won’t be gaming at all. I’m just an engineer student. I’m probably going into environmental engineering. Not CS
MSI P65 Creator-1084 15.6" 4K UHD Display, Ultra-Thin and Light, RTX Studio Laptop, Intel Core i7-9750H, GeForce RTX 2060, 32GB DDR4, 1TB Teton Glacier SSD Is it worth it For 1500 us dollar
I haven't tested that one, sounds decent in terms of specs, if you need the 4K screen then it's probably better than the MSI GS65. Many other RTX 2060 laptops are similar price, you're probably paying a bit more for the screen, doesn't seem that bad.
But you sacriface battery compared to the Dell, weight and thickness I believe. I don't know how the keyboard and trackpad compare either. Have you got one?
@@falken7610 No i don't I'll buy the mag 15 High end one with 1660ti GPU Because the motherboard is upside down if want upgrade any thing on the msi p65 it will be difficult
Hey Jarrod or other users, this is kinda urgent: i just ordered the razer blade 15 (2018) with 1070 max q, but will also be using it for school. The razer has mediocre battery life even for casual work, and i cant choose between the razer blade 15 with the 1070 or this. TL;DR: do i want a higher performance machine but worse battery life (razer blade 15), or the opposite (dell). As of now, i can get them both at $1450. Should i cancel the razer blade, or just stick with it?
Neither, look at the Gigabyte Aero 15 or Eluktronics MAG-15, both have good specs and larger batteries and are cheaper than the XPS. Also depends what you're using it for, the XPS will beat the blade in battery life which is probably ideal for school, but the 1650 will be a fair bit below a 1070 max-q.
Jarrod'sTech Thanks for that, I’m looking for them, but unfortunately I don’t think the gigabyte aero 15x is in my region (I’m in se Asia), and the eluktronics mag 15 is also not. I’m gonna try looking, but shipping is damn expensive! I’m probably gonna stick with the blade 15 since I want a bit more performance, and if the battery life on the Razer keeps dying in school, I might just get a smaller charger to take with me or a battery pack. Thanks for the help tho, and I’ll keep an open mind if I find a good deal :).
Hi jarrod, would you recommend picking the cheaper model ( 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare InfinityEdge Non-Touch 100% sRGB 500-Nits Display ) one in 2020 or wait for the new xps 15 coming out later this year?
@Jarrod'sTech Hi there Jarrod'sTech! i am your sub since most of gaming laptop you have been review.. all the review is great and professional.. recently, i have two option to choose and very hard to decide which is better in spec. can you guide me on this one is Lenovo Legion-Y7000-81NS002MJ and the other one is Legion-Y540-17IRH?
Hey thanks! I've never been able to test the Y7000 so I can't answer the question just now. I might be getting one soon though, so if they send it I'll be able to do a comparison video.
Hey there! I am searching a Gaming Notebook for under 1000€ and I watched a lot of your videos but for me it's hard to decide... Can you maybe recommend one for me? :-) I usually play WoW and I would like to play on high settings, maybe also other New games. Best regards!
Check the Acer Helios 300 2019 or Lenovo Y540 with GTX 1660 Ti, not sure what the price is in your region but they go on sale for around $1000 USD so maybe you can get them in your region.
I highly encourage you to STAY AWAY from aero 15 OLED... for the reasons shown in these screenshots and video clip: xzhan-nextcloud.net/index.php/s/APGx4JJ5NtxcQ6o I also discussed them in this reddit thread: www.reddit.com/r/gigabyte/comments/cg72jf/gigabyte_aero_15_oled_wa_wierd_sound_coming_from/ Also check out this YT review: ruclips.net/video/n-mSV4c0jc4/видео.htmlm42s Aero 15 OLED (or many OLED laptops) is extremely inconsistent in quality control and their customer service is just not adequate enough. I managed to return mine to ExcaliberPC after sending them the photo and video proof of defects, but the process is not fun. I am now a happy XPS 15 7590 (no OLED of course!) owner but I don't game much if at all. I mainly use it for coding and design work. If you want a really powerful machine to game on, I still suggest find something else.
@@xucongzhan9151 I plan on getting the non-OLED version too and for coding/software dev stuff outside of my house. How long does the battery last? What is making me want the xps so much is that super sleek and clean design. Very thin and great build quality. Are you really happy with your purchase?
Using a Dell XPS 13 i5 for a few years now and looking to upgrade to a 15" screen. Any suggestions for non-gaming users in Australia? Been considering the Asus Zenbook UX533FD but not sure how that compares to the XPS13 I'm using now.
Do you need decent GPU power? If so check out the Aftershock Vapor 15, or Gigabyte Aero 15. If not, probably not too many options I can suggest as I usually get gaming laptops to review on the channel, I think ZenBook range is decent though.
Any laptop with an i7 CPU and GTX 1650 or above should do quite well, just check the screen is decent in terms of colour gamut etc. For lower price range, the Lenovo Y540 would do pretty well.
I just returned mine yesterday because of severe thermal issue, throttling and coil whine when gaming. I got this even if I was kinda skeptical about it when people in forum don't recommend it. DO NOT buy this laptop. Just go for Razer or other legit gaming laptop.
I have a question, which do you prefer to content creator on premiere, editing 4k videos (Sony a7iii or DJI Mavic)? Helios 300 + 1tb 860 EVO + 32gb extra + 27 external monitor AOC IPS 4k = 1.564USD Dell XPS 15 7590 4k touch 16gb ram 1tb = 1.899 USD AERO 15 Oled 16gb = 1.749 USD Macbook Pro 16 BASE = 2.189 USD
I'd get the Aero personally, I use Windows so Apple is out, XPS costs too much for what you get, Helios would be ok but I prefer the big battery life/SD slot.

Your thoroughness and attention to detail are so impressive.
Thanks!
@@JarrodsTech needs timctamps plz champ.
So does the 'carbon fiber' innard pick up bodily residue visily?
Powerful laptops should eliminate all gamer aesthetics like this. Very ergonomic design for ABM students.
Options for both folks I guess.
Some gaming laptops are subtle. More or less.
The XPS is targetted towards a market that is similar to what the Macbook Pro is aiming at. Creative professionals and/or media enthusiasts who need a mobile computer powerful enough to handle what they need. Gamers on the other hand may not necessarily care about weight, and instead want maximum performance, which usually entails a much thicker design to accomodate the cooling required for such a load.
Zeldagigafan exactly. The styling and disappointing lack of ports are very obviously an attempt at stealing some of the MacBook market share. I could see playing Minecraft or CS:GO on this with moderate settings.
@@MikhaelAhava whats abm ?
Great in depth review. Heading to college next semester to study Electrical Engineering, and this seems like a good laptop for that but also for some lighter gaming for someone who comes from Xbox. Probably getting the FHD i7 with 8gig ram and 256g SSD. I have an external drive for games and can also just use OneDrive for docs and other files. Great and very helpful video 👍
Thanks! Glad it was useful 👍
Can also just replace the ssd with a bigger size in these if need more storage for cheaper
Finally get a chance to watch it. Great stuff. Still one of my Favs
Interested to hear what you think about my conclusion, how basically I'd get the Aero/MAG-15 with 1660 Ti for similar money and better CPU performance with similar feature sets - some people are getting mad at me for not picking the XPS Haha
Jarrod'sTech Ah man you cant please everyone. I agree in terms of specs and performance but for me as long as it “can” game and do all my video editing. I’m happy with the trade off of a bit of performance for IMO a more premium metal build and design and battery life. The 1660 is the sweet spot and hopefully they work on the thermals and at least give us a 1650 super with 6GB if that’s a thing. Would be nice if it could do a 1660 but I think they will keep it 130W
Yeah fair enough!
Jarrod'sTech I like that the XPS don’t deafen me, well not too much. Man the ringing in my ears is real 🤣
I recently made the switch from apple! Extremely excited for this laptop!
Only current issue is it keeps going to sleep. No particular time. Initially thought it was due to updates and program downloads but it did so also after I plugged in an external hard drive???
Changed battery/sleep/hibernate settings and still occurs. I’ll be contacting dell support later this evening regarding this issue
Thorough review! I enjoyed the video! Thank you
Thanks! Hmm that's a bit strange, let us know what it was if you solve it
IM also thinking of switching for my laptop. I want finally want to be able to use proper GPU power since i also do 3d design aside of graphic work. I like this design because it still has a more quality look, great looking display, black finish. I do feel its behold back quite a lot due to bad cooling design. Im thinking about this one, the y540 or y740 or the Zypherus G14. All quite different machines. But not full blown gaming machines.
PS how is the switch from OSX to Windows, i used to work on them both. BUt now I've been working on OSX for around15 yr torso, i kinda hate the windows system a lot. I find it counter intuitive compared to OSX. Whats your take in it?
I literally just ordered this exact laptop on Black Friday!
Let us know how it goes!
Same, I’m quite excited for it 😁

Another really thorough review, thank you! Any chance you could test this model's main competitor- HP Spectre X360 15t AMOLED GTX 1650?? Thanks again for all your efforts to make these quality reviews. Your channel is where I stop first to get the details of systems I'm interested in.
Thanks! Unfortunately HP don't send me review units and they cost too much in my country for me to buy just to review, sorry. I've tried everything to make this happen. I've sent countless emails to every address I can find, made phone calls, even met with their staff at various events and exchanged business cards but nothing has come of it, so I can only assume they're not interested.

Hey Jarod! Love your reviews! It would be great if you could include rendering times and video editing performances. It will help creators, editors and filmmakers to choose better. Again, great videos. Keep it up!
Yeah I will start doing that, it's just a pain to install Premiere, plus I'd be starting from scratch as I haven't done standard testing on previous machines so not really any data to compare with built up like the other tests.
@@JarrodsTech gotta start somewhere
@@bradhaines3142 Also I just get really inconsistent results so it's hard to properly do it. Now I think about it, I did get Premiere results on the XPS 15 to use in future videos. I exported this video 3 times, and got 19:50, 19:14, then 18:27, like what am I supposed to do with that lol, why does it get faster each time? Makes no sense.
@@JarrodsTech thats a weirdly significant difference, is there some sort of compression to it?
how fast does it take on the 15x? be good to figure out where the difference is
@@JarrodsTech do 3 times and average?
Have this laptop 4K touch display. It’s amazing. Although, when I got it, I immediately noticed a weird lag on the display and after weeks figured out that it was the display resolution.
For anyone experiencing weird lag (you can tell if you open the settings application while in dark mode and minimize and maximize), simply downscale your resolution.
You don’t need it to run at 4K all the time anyway & it helps with thermals as well.
Hope this helps anyone with the same issue!
Hmm interesting, thanks for sharing that!
Very weird tho. I just ordered it. Hope not to have this problem because it seems like a faulty machine. You shouldn't accept stuff like this mate.
Spagneto honestly I’m not sure if it’s even a problem. I have a gaming pc & I’m so used to seeing screens above 120hz so it might just be my eyes. Let me know if you notice anything with yours though!
This Black Friday i finally bought my new laptop :)
I choose the HP pavilion 15 with the Ryzen 7 3750H, the GTX 1660 ti Max-Q, 16 gb of RAM, 256 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD for only 900 euro (996 $). Is not the top laptop, but at this price is a good deal :)
Anyway, good review as always and thanks for all the info in all yours reviews :)
Cheers! Nice, hope it goes well!
I could've given you a real-life review mate. I have the exact same specs and my device works really well. The performance is amazing and trust me I know. I've been doing high-quality production work for companies for a long time and no other device can match the performance this laptop has. You had a review unit, which has been stressed and tested a lot, which reduces it's overall performance.
That wouldn't effect it. Fact is it is just outperformed by other machines, regardless of it actually works well in most workloads. The power limit is capped and that wouldn't change with use over time.
I have 9560 right now, totally love the machine.
Waiting for new 2020 redesigned model, fingers crossed for 17 inches one🤞
I've seen some rumours about a 17"!
@@JarrodsTech Hope it's going to а great competitor to new MB 16, with same slim bezels, bit bigger footprint, but with much better thermal behaviour and improved speakers. That might be the best all-rounder!
Thanks for so detailed video! It is what I was looking for.
Great review as always Jarrod. Happy holidays to you my friend.
Thanks! Cheers mate same to you too!
Thank you for your honest opinion helping me to make an educated decision. Thank you very much.
Great review! Thanks very much. I ordered mine 2 days ago and after watching the video I am sure I did the right thing. This is what I expected from this laptop. Stay cool, stay silent and run longer. I do not need high cpu/gpu power (though I didnt buy i5 with iGPU but i7 with gtx1650 to be future-proof). Great job on the review. I watched several other reviewers also but this one was very nicely put👍
Thanks! Let us know how it goes 🙂
Elbay Malik Would u recommend it to me for video editing I do wanna get it but what scares me is the thermal issues I have been hearing on how hot it gets during certain things u do on it
A 1650 is absolutely not future proofing. A laptop 1650 is comparable to a desktop 1050
@@Stopdeletingmycomments depends on what you are working on. And GPU is easy to replace by thunderbolt to a eGPU. So that is not even interesting part for me as it is quite easy to replace GPU
@@rican6718 my usage will not be towards video editing but I know that you can edit videos even in 13" version of dell xps. So, the only thing you should be aware of is the time required for compiling videos. I am sure you can find lots of reviews in web discussing that aspect of laptops
I am also an IT consultant and this is the only laptop I've seen that isn't thick that can sustain long periods of load
Fair enough, there are others though like the mag-15 or gigabyte Aero
I got the Dell XPS 15 9560 and it's given me software and hardware problems, definetly don't use it for gaming, it destroyed my battery life where I only had 1 hour battery life from the factory 56w. The bought a 97wh from ebay bout 1/2 a year ago and it gave me 6 hours of battery life, decided to paly another demanding game for about a week and my laptop got hot...now with brightness at low, I only get about 2 hour battery life with just browsing XD. Gonna probably buy a new 15" laptop in 1 year exactly but hesistant on buying the Dell XPS 15 again. It seems like this year model is pretty good especially battery life, but maybe the 9600 or whatever they call it next year will be even better.
I wouldn't suggest using ANY laptop on battery for gaming for the reasons covered here: jarrods.tech/why-playing-games-on-laptop-battery-power-is-bad-in-my-opinion/ basically it's just a bad time regardless of machine.
Your videos are honestly so good. Set the bar for what other channels could do!
Thank you!
Hey Jarrod! Loved the review! Could you please review the prestige 14? I really needed to know if the laptop having a single fan is as bad as people say.... Love your reviews man! Keep up to great work!
Thanks! Yeah MSI said they should send it soon, I'll follow up with them now.
Love your t-shirts selection!
Thanks! 🤘
Yay! Thanks for the awesome review as always!
No problem!
I really love your vids and would love it if you can upload more often and best of luck for your new channel!
Fantastic review. Two questions: 1). Did I see correctly that the laptop is too thin to have an ethernet port? Is a dongle provided and if not which one do you use? Also what is the game you're playing starting @:30 when you're explaining the specs? Thanks so much.
Got the laptop since it came out in august. 100% recommended.
Good to hear!
Is it good for gaming?
I posted this on your other video but will post here again for others to see. With a -125mv undervolt on core and cache and running the GTX 1650 at 0.8V and 1695Mhz, I am getting solid performance. Turn off Turbo boost for gaming (this laptop is GPU limited for games) and the temps for CPU and GPU stay at or under 65C. No throttling. Put the rear of the laptop on something to give some breathing room to the fans. Enjoy.
Thanks for sharing again 😁
I've bought it after loooong research.
I haven't found anything close to it in terms of performance and design.
Prestige 15 maybe was close, but felt like cheaper material product.
So far loving it.
Hmm that's good, I'd have gone Prestige myself, or Aero, or mag-15 😁
Perfect review, subscribed 👍
Thanks! Welcome to the channel 👍
i am really curious to see your MacBook Pro 16’ review 🙃
I'll probably never cover any macbooks on the channel, a couple of reasons. The channel is way too small for Apple to care about, I cannot borrow review units like I do with other brands. Their stuff is so over priced that it's not really worth me spending thousands of dollars just to do a few videos, especially with the MBP 16 as so many larger channels are already covering it to death.
Jarrod'sTech I really hope your channel will get more than millions of subscribers in a very short time and than they will provide you a review unit🙏
@@Mobiltelekomnet that would be good! I would love to test it but yeah Just not possible at the moment
This statement has been asked and answered so many times lol.
Watching this w/ my new fully max spec'd out XPS 15 7590. 100% recommended. If u need something smaller, lighter, lesser graphics card, but nimble and well built go w/ Lenovo X1 Carbon. If u need some more power and workload for video editing - go with this. For gaming, definitely don't get any of these at all.
I hope I get the chance to test the X1 out too 🤔
I have the XPS 15 7590 and it has been an absolute nightmare! Screen flickering rendering unusable which was apparently a "known issues" with the XPS and I've also had to pay to replace easily broken parts even though I'm under warranty because it was "accidental" which isn't covered. Not going to be buying Dell again...

Same. New one looks great but this would have better value on sale imo. Also this has more ports
@@jamalparkinson6827 Me too, still debating on wether I should get the oled version or fhd though... :/
Hey man, 2:10 can be easily fixed by turning of auto refresh in the settings. You should try that out
Thanks, unfortunately it's already gone back after the video.
So my question is pretty simple, is this a good laptop for a student that only needs this for word and stuff (and home gaming). Now the point: it’s right now on sale for 1548,99 €, but it has the i5-9300H with GTX 1650 and 2x4 8 GB DDR4 ram and a 512 GB M.2 ssd. It’s on sale at the moment (normal price is 1577,99 €) awesome review jarrod ;) as always. Maybe thinking of upgrading this thing later on the go since it’s really upgradable. But the only problem is the price since I’m only 16 and don’t really need the graphics card but it’s cool to have.
Thanks! Yes, though it's probably also overkill just for word. If anything at least it's a nice machine in terms of build quality/materials that I'd expect to last if you don't treat it like trash 😛
@@JarrodsTech i changed to the xps 13, while its sad that i cant change the ram, i like the point of the eGPU. and i dont need to pay like 200 extra € of tax. you're review of the eGPU with XPS 13 was exactly what i needed. perfect timing thank you jarrod.
I have this laptop and I must say this is the complete package. I definately recommend
Good to hear it's going well!
Nice and thorough review!
Did you notice any vertical banding / screen uniformitys when displaying dark grey/near black colours?
Thanks, no, but I also don't have any explicit tests where I go out of my way and check for that, I'm not really an expert in all things monitors.
@@JarrodsTech Thx for your answer.
Well you dont really need to test the screen - if you put windows in dark mode you already see it, if its there...
Did you check dark mode out with your test-example?
I got mine for a week now and I noticed the typical vertical banding on grey, near-black colours - which one can see when windows is in dark mode.
I can live with the banding but the top right corner gets reallly crushed in dark scenes.
And I noticed some uniformity-issues when displaying all-white too, the left corner ist brighter than right side of the screen.
Its not that bad really but I informed Dell and they offered to send a technician to replace the screen. Having read some reviews and comments online about this, it seems like most OLED-screens suffer from this issue to some degree- so now I just dont know if I should have the screen changed or not. I fear it could get worse with the new screen, hence why Im wondering if you noticed any of that behaviour in your panel....
Otherwise the screen is just gorgeus!
My phone - an LG V30 - has way worse uniformity issues, and I got used to it. I dont really mind it anymore but then again: I got my phone really cheap and with a bigger screen its much more noticeable.
@@fzst-ub5xf Nah I didn't, can't check it out either as the laptop was sent back after the review was made, sorry.
@@JarrodsTech OK, too bad.
Thx for your answer though.
Fantastic review bhai. The screen must be a gorgeous one. 😍😍😍 PWM is a drawback. Otherwise it looks like an amazing device
Yeah looks nice, just wish the performance was a bit better for the price!
Jarrod'sTech do windows still have dpi scaling issues on hi resolution display like 4K?
Your vids are extremely helpful! Do you recommend any budget monitors with an ok refresh rate? Thanks a lot for your review. Keep up the good work
Cheers! I haven't tested that many so nothing much really comes to mind. There was an Acer 144hz 1080p monitor I covered on the channel in the past which still seems like a good budget option.
Very nice review! Can you test the XPS 15 with an egpu? would be interesting to see if the cpu bottleneck of ultrabooks(with epgu) are gone with the more powerful H-series processors.
Thanks, unfortunately not, I had minimal time to get the review done before sending it back so wasn't able to fit that in :( it's already been sent back.
I feel like powerful/gaming laptops that lack an ethernet port is an immediate no, but that's just me I guess. Depends on whatever the buyer is gonna use it for, of course.
I like how the "gamer aesthetic" is becoming less popular, it's not particularly nice to look at, but I can't say I'm a fan of "thinner and thinner" laptops either, that cuts stuff like the ethernet port because of how thin it is.
I prefer it too, but a lot of people keep bringing up that WiFi 6 is meant to be faster, but eh, depends on the network and location and other factors of course.
Jarod, did you notice VRM throttling on this XPS (similar to older models)?
Where CPU and GPU temps might be okay but Dell has placed a firmware level temperature limit.
Some models of the XPS 7590 seem to come with a VRM heatsink whereas others (like yours) are absent.
Which sensor in HWinfo do I need to look at to determine that?
@@JarrodsTech Unfortunately, I don't think it can be measured with "traditional" means as in sensors with HWiNFO.
Videos I've seen use IR/Thermal cams like yours, but as you say in many videos you might not be able to disassemble them.
I just find it strange that they allow the CPU to reach near Tjunction but they don't allow the GPU to boost fully or come close to Tjunction. Therefore I figured it was similar issue to previous XPS models where the VRM temp was the culprit.
According to Notebookcheck their 1650 averaged 1710Mhz albeit with an Acer Nitro 5, with the majority of 7590s only hitting base clock of 1400Mhz or slightly above (according to Reddit).
Great videos as always, my goto laptop and mobile GPU reviews!
What about x1 extreme gen2? Will you review it ?
I honestly don't know. There's not enough viewers asking to justify me buying it with my own money, but Lenovo are really difficult for me to borrow different models, so waiting on them to hear what they have available, I've asked for it.
Would love that tooooooo
Do you had the new hp spectre x360 in your review list? i hope u review it, thankyou. Love your vids as always!
10th gen? I can't get it as HP ignore me, but I have covered the one just before that.
Hey guys. So I'm looking to purchase a Dell XPS 15 7950 pretty soon. I recently had a Macbook Pro 15 (2013 model), but unfortunately that died on me. I loved the screen of that one to bits - it was gorgeous.
Unfortunately I have eyes that are kinda sensitive/not that great, but the Macbook was perfect for them.
I have borrowed a Lenovo V330 in the interim and I can't stand the quality of the screen. I don't know if it's the contrast or the colours, but it's unbearable for me - I can't go more than ten minutes without a headache forming, and for my job I'm on it all day.
However, the Lenovo is a FHD screen, and so is the Dell XPS that I want (I really, really don't want the 4K - out of my price range and reflection/glossy issues).
So my question is, is the FHD screen of the Dell XPS very good? Are the colours decent, the black levels crisp? You can tell I'm not a techy as any correct terminology is beyond me xD I just don't want to spend out a whole bunch of money only for the screen to be as bad as the Lenovo I'm using.
I'd really appreciate some advice! Thank you all! :D
External battery display is a nice touch and backlight time out is interesting. Looks like almost no key travel though.
Yeah not too much
Wow those american prices are insanely cheap. Here in Denmark I just bought my XPS (15", i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 4K Touch) at the equivalent of ~900$ more.

That config what you described (not even the 4k model, only the 1920 x 1200, 15", i7, 16gb, 512ssd) costs 2600-2800 $ in my country... I need an xps :(
Great video!
Thanks!
FYI the Inspiron 15 from Dell is nearly the same (same specs, same battery, same size) but way cheaper, I totally recommend it.
Hmm interesting, I've seen them but haven't had the chance to get one to test yet.
love the review bro. lets see how the new acer predator triton 300 could stack up against the other laptops that has the gtx 1650 gpu if its any good. will be patiently waiting for that soon enough.
Thanks!
Nice vid man. I wanted to ask you one thing. Considering similar pricing in my country which one would you recommend for casual gaming and 3d modelling.
Y540(i5 and 1650), Nitro 5 2019 (i5 and 1650), ROG G strix (same) or the TUF Fx505 (R5 and 1650)?
And please try to be decisive.
Thanks! I haven't had a chance to test the Strix G. I wouldn't pick FX505 given even last gen i5-8300H beats Ryzen 7 3750H, so Ryzen 5 is easily beat by 9th gen i5. I have a video comparing the Nitro and Y540 on the channel which might help you decide, personally I'd pick Y540 because the clean design and option of disabling Optimus, eventhough the Nitro may perform a little better.
Nice review Jarod. But the laptop is still expensive and I can not afford to buy it. I tried the 4k screen of precision 5510 andI feel comfortable with eye when trying this. I guess 4k oled screen in xps 7590 is better than 4k screen in precision 5510 and I hope in the future I will have a chance to try 4k oled sreen in dell xps 7590
OLED does look nicer than pretty much anything else yeah, but it's not without its drawbacks.
@@JarrodsTech yes. I read that Oled is easily burned in
Hey mate, nice vid! What do u think of the ASUS ZenBook 14?
Thanks! Looks interesting, they have one to lend me, I'm just all full up at the moment.
There’s the new MX 250 model aside from that, I think it has got minimal changes.
SOOOOOOOO DETAILED MAN..!!!!!!!!!
Just bought this for $2200AUD - on special through Dell Ebay - can't really go wrong for that price
Hi, Jarrod Good review! Any idea where you got the hexagon transparent plant pot?
Thanks, not sure sorry, got it at some local store ages ago.
I really wanna get this laptop so that I can play Sims 4 on ultra with all the expansion packs and mods. It’s not a super intense game but i’m not sure how it compares with the games you tested. Will this handle that? I also wanna do some light video editing with it.
It will be ok for video editing but I'm not sure about that game I've never tested it. If you're mainly doing games that are much better laptops with higher specs for less money than this
That should be fine; maybe don't do ultra; do high. And it should be fine for video editing.
Thank you so much for your amazing reviews, I have one question. I'm considering buying the Aero Oled 15 with the rtx 2070. And I remember you got yourself an aero too but not an oled. Do you think getting an Oled has ahigh chance of screen burn?
I have the Aero 15x 1070 Max-Q. It definitely has a higher chance given it's something inherent to the technology, but not sure how much use it would need to see before that actually becomes an issue.
@@JarrodsTech thank you so much for the reply Jarrod that helps, would you choose the Zephyrus S 502 with full RTX 2070 over the Aero RTX 2070 IPS display?
Great review, but the conclusion heavily assumes that the laptop will be used for gaming even though it isn't a gaming laptop.
Thanks, it was not meant to come off that way, I was meaning to imply I'd use a gigabyte aero 15 oled or eluktronics mag-15 for ALL other tasks, as either offer more performance for similar money. I probably just used the gaming example because I have done a LOT of testing there for my 1650 vs 1660 Ti video.
You are probably a very careful tech user and you tend to underestimate a bit built quality and reliability of laptops. XPS and ThinkPads charge you premium and they last for a long time. Also they look and feel balanced. Gaming laptops don't
offer that
The alternatives I'm suggesting aren't really gaming laptops. The Gigabyte Aero 15 offers the same features but offers better battery life and performs better for less money, sorry but that's just the facts based on my own testing. Can't comment on thinkpads as Lenovo don't send me any, but based on my own testing there's no reason I'd pick an XPS 15 over alternatives, but that's just my opinion based on the data - the raw data is there though so people can their own choices.
I never thought I'd say this, but I seriously hope the new XPS 15 is going to be heavier, much heavier. I don't care if I can notice having a device in my bag or on my lap, for most of the time it's going to be used on a desk anyways. But I seriously care about performance and as these XPS laptops make one of the only lines on the planet to compete with the Macbook Pros, they have to be capable and fast if not better. I prefer Windows OS and the futuristic no-bezel design on the XPS, but as a user of heavy Adobe software I hope they listen to this. Points of improvement for the XPS line.
• Speakers, enhance them, bring them forward. We don't care what brand it is, just deliver good sound. Especially for the creative professionals.
• All webcams on laptops suck, why not be the first to introduce a relatively good webcam for once. Especially on a top Windows laptop, which is used video conferences quite a lot.
• Deliver beast performance not just beast specs, we don't care what chipset and memory, graphics you have let alone don't even know what all those things mean. But it better be good even if it isn't the latest if it's fast it's fast, let it speak for itself.
• Stop competing with the Macbook Air... We get it, the 13 inch model outperforms the Macbook Air on so many levels. The XPS is light more compact yet a beast comparatively etc. But the XPS 13 is still somewhat behind the Macbook Pro 13 considering performance. Whilst Windows users are almost always recommended going for the XPS, it doesn't always beat the MBP in terms of capability. I want a fast and smooth working computer and not a whole lesson on thermals CPU GPU and what not... It's time to think more about performance and actual quality compared to portability.
• The trackpad, ehm yeah, make it bigger.
• At some point the carbon-plastic finish has to go or change. I like it but it has to be improved, a lot. I like the white more glossy option and less rubbery feel of the new XPS 13, but why not improve that and consider using different less bendable materials.
• Just keep it going! You're the best ❤❤❤
Yeah fair enough, will also depend on if Dell are willing to boost fan speed and be noisier to offer higher performance. I just wish they give the user the choice, sure by default make it quiet and not perform as well, but if I am exporting a video let me change the fan speed or something.
@@JarrodsTech ikr! Even if it's capable of doing so, they limit you in a sense... hope it's going to be addressed in the upcoming xps15!
Hey! On the dell site they say the 4K OLED version has an anti reflective coating on the display. Why is it glossy on the review unit?
It just means that there is a anti-reflective coating applied on top of the glass - which of course is glossy.
They try to keep the reflections under control this way. It is still way more reflective than a matte screen though. So if you prefer a matte screen for work than you shouldnt get this model. However Im actually quite impressed with the coating. It definately is less reflective than alot of other laptops Iv seen in person. Including the "normal" glass of a xps 13 with touchscreen, which I thought was too uncomfortable to use in a well lit room (I guess the xps 15 with touch uses the same glass surface?)
Coming from a matte laptop surprisingly, I can live with the reflections of the 7590 OLED. Its not as bad as most other glossy screens.
Yeah what those guys said :) basically still glossy but they try to minimize it as best they can, but still no where near a matte panel.
Thanks for clarifying. Was worried a bit because I ordered one with the 4K oled screen :)
@@lgjsp99 Well to be clear here:
The screen is still WAY more reflective than a matte screen. But I noticed that its less reflective than most other glossy panels out there - namely all the touchscreen panels I checked out in person. Like the Lenovo Yoga, Dell XPS 13, Microsoft surface and some others.... I would say its about on par (I want to say its even a little bit better) with the macbook pros, who handle reflections quite good also (there are variations within the mac-lineup though).
That beeing said, coming from a matte screen, I can live with it -and I use it on the go alot. And its also WAY more beautiful ;-)
The matte screen of my other laptop just looks really grainy and liveless in comparison now....
Not bad seems Dell did ok with this iteration although I still can't afford it 🤷♂️
💸
Please do a productivity comparison with y540. I wonder if this thin chassis impact's performance other than gaming. Would be even better if you could do firefox compile test
The Y540 has higher CPU power limit under sustained workload and will likely win.
@@JarrodsTech yeah but in productivity programs like android studio,or any other programming Ide , it's mostly never 100% load. It just gives 100% load in bursts of few second.
I had a real bad experience with this laptop. Literally the worst purchase Ive ever made in my life. Wasted over $2k. Still trying to get Dell to refund me
Nice test any that sypder color test is Fire

Greetings Jarrod, could you try Lenovo Yoga C940 14¨ and 15¨ + eGPU. Great videos btw, your graphic bars are really helpful!!!
Good to hear the helpful, I'll see what I can do but Lenovo a hard to get things from in my country
Review the Lenovo Ideapad S740 15" please. We've been waiting for one for long and it's a direct competitor to the XPS 15.
I've requested it, waiting for them to tell me if they can make it happen.
For the current price you might as well buy the gaming g5 or g7, which retail for about the same. Hell, the G7 is price declined to $899 right now. The XPS is $1099. Honestly, the XPS should be about $300-400 cheaper.
If you want more GPU power and don't mind it running at 100c, yeah.
@@JarrodsTech
In your review of the G7 you showed that they had mostly solved their heating issues, and that it ran warm, not hot. About 80c under full stress load. I would consider 90c to 100c as being problematic. Am I mistaken about this? I was planning on getting the G7 here soon.
@@JarrodsTech
I'm also not planning on using this for gaming. I do quite a bit of game dev, which includes programming and modeling in blender, and the occasional build test. My game is low poly. So I will never be using this laptop for actual gaming.
I just want the raw power for fast compile times and quicker workflow without being bottlenecked by the technology. My current laptop, an Acer Aspire, is like 10+ years old, and can't even run the newest version of Blender anymore. Pretty sad day, honestly. Decided it was about time to upgrade, and I have about 1k to blow.
Hey Jarrod. I am really looking at purchasing the Dell XPS 15. Looking at it with the I7 9750H, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and the 1920x1080 Screen. I'm not too concerned about the 4K as the FHD screen will boast some better battery life and storage isn't an issue as I dump my photo and video files onto two different external drives. My question is this, are there any laptops you would recommend I buy over the XPS 15 that have better performance when it comes to Lightroom, Photoshop and Premiere Pro? I have heard good things about the Lenovo Extreme Gen 2 but I can get the Dell XPS as spec'd above for $1619.99 plus tax (Canadian) at the moment. Which to me seems like an unreal price. Thanks if you respond! I am just very unsure at the moment as there are so many laptops to choose from at the end of the day.
Yeah personally I'd look at the Gigabyte Aero 15 (new one with improved cooling, not the old model), or the Eluktronics MAG-15. All have the same core extra features that most other laptops are missing (Thunderbolt/SD card slot/big battery (MAG also has mech keyboard)). They're priced similarly but with better CPU/GPU performance as they come with GTX 1660 Ti for similar money, but that is about 50% faster in games compared to the 1650. You can get a rough idea of how the XPS 15 stacks up with this graph covering recent laptops I tested in Premiere, I actually exported this XPS 15 review as the test video haha: jarrods.tech/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/lenovo-y540-adobe-premiere-performance-1536x864.png
Jarrod'sTech hey, by any chance did you experience any serious thermal throttling when you tested this under heavy loads. Some other reviewers mentioned undervolting to stop thermal throttling, however I didn’t notice you mention it. Thanks
No, thermal throttling did not happen, at least after 3 minutes. For the first 3 minutes of heavy load, yes it could, but then once it settles in it caps the power limit to reduce performance which prevents thermal throttling at the expense of low performance. I go into this in probably way too much detail here: ruclips.net/video/MXfSwNiyzMo/видео.html
Finally! Ive been waiting for you to review this laptop. Is this given to you? Is the laptop sponsored by dell? Or did you get this yourself? I think its important that we know this.
They send it out to me to cover and I send it back after I'm done with it, it already went back last week. This is the case with about 98% of the laptops on the channel, the others I bought with my own money to keep include the Lenovo L340, Y530, and Y540 (Lenovo don't send me much..) If this was a sponsored video, I would have disclosed it. I don't do sponsored reviews on the channel either. Also I doubt they'd want to do paid content when my conclusion is basically "there are better laptops than this for less money".
Curious if you'll ever do MBP 16 in parellels or other VM to run games 🤔
I'll probably never cover any macbooks on the channel, a couple of reasons. The channel is way too small for Apple to care about, I cannot borrow review units like I do with other brands. Their stuff is so over priced that it's not really worth me spending thousands of dollars just to do a few videos, especially with the MBP 16 as so many larger channels are already covering it to death.
@@JarrodsTech Sounds sad :(
@@JarrodsTech I agree, but if you want your channel to grow you need to review Apple products. Why not just do what every other small tech reviewers do, buy the product and then return it. You might have to pay a restocking fee but it's cheaper than buying it.
I’ll send him mine.
Which one has better thermals between prestige 15 and XPS 15?
You can watch my Prestige 15 video and compare :) I can't recall the results so you may as well just watch it instead of me doing the same and typing it out 😅 the prestige probably runs hotter, but the CPU also actually can sustain 45w in multicore load whereas the XPS 15 chokes down to 15w.
Hi Jarrod. I have just ordered this machine with the i9 mainly for video editing, software development and data science, but I will occasionally play games on it too ;-).
I run VMs (so need the 32GB) and the data stuff can get really intensive so a little concerned about the three-minute thermal throttling that you mention. Does the cooling pad that you show in your video help with this? Or is there likely to be a mod to allow boosting the fans?
Currently, on my Surface Pro machines, I use a USB fan to help, which works but is noisy. Do you recommend the pad in your video, or another pad or a bloody great desk fan, or just not buying this laptop?
The issue seems to just be how Dell have programmed it, after a while of consistent CPU load the power limit lowers in order to keep the thermals under control. In theory if you can cool it better, it may not do that as soon, also hard to say how the i9 model may differ to what I tested here. Basically any cooling pad or even a basic stand should do the job, I just use a giant one so I can use it regardless of what laptop I am testing. You can see how 3 pads of different size and a stand compare here: ruclips.net/video/tXvKiy65pwg/видео.html
Can you please do review on Dell precision 5540 , it's not really reviewed by many
I'll see what I can do, not sure on the availability of review units, may not be possible as they've never offered me any from that series before.
Which one do you prefer between XPS 15 7590(4k) vs msi prestige 15(4k)? I mean i want to make a purchase between these 2.
Prestige has more CPU power, but this has more GPU power, so depends what you're using it for. Personally I'm leaning towards the Prestige.
@@JarrodsTech thanks man, that helped a lot. I guess I'll go with prestige.
I think il go for prestige too, ty @Jarrod'sTech
No the dell xps 15 had more Power. You can check the cpu on notebookcheck.
I got a Dell XPS 15 9530 from 2015.
How's it going?

@@falken7610 Yeah. I was planning to make profit on this laptop since I have a desktop but its amazing. And I bid on it at first, bid $180 and won then I bought missing parts for it such as the ram 16gb for $35, brand new power supply for $25 (they go for $90 on dell's website) and a few more stuff. I did tons of research though. First time I lost the auction but no one paid for it so it got relisted and the second time I won.
I’m really worried about the sound of the fan and the thermals. Does it get super hot? I won’t be gaming at all. I’m just an engineer student. I’m probably going into environmental engineering. Not CS
It will probably be fine but I have thermal camera results in the video
MSI P65 Creator-1084 15.6" 4K UHD Display, Ultra-Thin and Light, RTX Studio Laptop, Intel Core i7-9750H, GeForce RTX 2060, 32GB DDR4, 1TB Teton Glacier SSD
Is it worth it
For 1500 us dollar
I haven't tested that one, sounds decent in terms of specs, if you need the 4K screen then it's probably better than the MSI GS65. Many other RTX 2060 laptops are similar price, you're probably paying a bit more for the screen, doesn't seem that bad.
But you sacriface battery compared to the Dell, weight and thickness I believe. I don't know how the keyboard and trackpad compare either. Have you got one?
@@falken7610
No i don't I'll buy the mag 15
High end one with 1660ti GPU
Because the motherboard is upside down if want upgrade any thing on the msi p65 it will be difficult
@@TAJARIBSAUD of thanks, since in Spain all those have similar prices for similar specs, there is not a big dealbreaker to choose one or other.
Hey Jarrod or other users, this is kinda urgent: i just ordered the razer blade 15 (2018) with 1070 max q, but will also be using it for school. The razer has mediocre battery life even for casual work, and i cant choose between the razer blade 15 with the 1070 or this. TL;DR: do i want a higher performance machine but worse battery life (razer blade 15), or the opposite (dell). As of now, i can get them both at $1450. Should i cancel the razer blade, or just stick with it?
Neither, look at the Gigabyte Aero 15 or Eluktronics MAG-15, both have good specs and larger batteries and are cheaper than the XPS. Also depends what you're using it for, the XPS will beat the blade in battery life which is probably ideal for school, but the 1650 will be a fair bit below a 1070 max-q.
Jarrod'sTech Thanks for that, I’m looking for them, but unfortunately I don’t think the gigabyte aero 15x is in my region (I’m in se Asia), and the eluktronics mag 15 is also not. I’m gonna try looking, but shipping is damn expensive! I’m probably gonna stick with the blade 15 since I want a bit more performance, and if the battery life on the Razer keeps dying in school, I might just get a smaller charger to take with me or a battery pack. Thanks for the help tho, and I’ll keep an open mind if I find a good deal :).
@@sebcross2425 if you don't care about design, the g3 has decent battery life and specs, usually cheaper.

The black one is carbon fiber composite, doesn't really feel like rubber I guess.
Hey there! I am searching a Gaming Notebook for under 1000€ and I watched a lot of your videos but for me it's hard to decide... Can you maybe recommend one for me? :-)

Best regards!
Check the Acer Helios 300 2019 or Lenovo Y540 with GTX 1660 Ti, not sure what the price is in your region but they go on sale for around $1000 USD so maybe you can get them in your region.
Hey Jarod, I don’t know which laptop to buy:
The dell XPS 15 oled or the gigabyte aero 15 oled
I'd pick the Aero, for the reasons discussed towards the end of the video.
I highly encourage you to STAY AWAY from aero 15 OLED... for the reasons shown in these screenshots and video clip: xzhan-nextcloud.net/index.php/s/APGx4JJ5NtxcQ6o
I also discussed them in this reddit thread: www.reddit.com/r/gigabyte/comments/cg72jf/gigabyte_aero_15_oled_wa_wierd_sound_coming_from/
Also check out this YT review: ruclips.net/video/n-mSV4c0jc4/видео.htmlm42s
Aero 15 OLED (or many OLED laptops) is extremely inconsistent in quality control and their customer service is just not adequate enough. I managed to return mine to ExcaliberPC after sending them the photo and video proof of defects, but the process is not fun.
I am now a happy XPS 15 7590 (no OLED of course!) owner but I don't game much if at all. I mainly use it for coding and design work. If you want a really powerful machine to game on, I still suggest find something else.
Or go for msi gs75 xP
@@xucongzhan9151 I plan on getting the non-OLED version too and for coding/software dev stuff outside of my house. How long does the battery last? What is making me want the xps so much is that super sleek and clean design. Very thin and great build quality. Are you really happy with your purchase?

Using a Dell XPS 13 i5 for a few years now and looking to upgrade to a 15" screen.
Any suggestions for non-gaming users in Australia?
Been considering the Asus Zenbook UX533FD but not sure how that compares to the XPS13 I'm using now.
Do you need decent GPU power? If so check out the Aftershock Vapor 15, or Gigabyte Aero 15. If not, probably not too many options I can suggest as I usually get gaming laptops to review on the channel, I think ZenBook range is decent though.
What’s the best laptop for regular business and video editing for beginners at a very reasonable price? The video editing is like for RUclips videos
Any laptop with an i7 CPU and GTX 1650 or above should do quite well, just check the screen is decent in terms of colour gamut etc. For lower price range, the Lenovo Y540 would do pretty well.
You should test Star Citizen. That's a brutal game to play on the PC.
If more people suggest it can look at it
I just returned mine yesterday because of severe thermal issue, throttling and coil whine when gaming. I got this even if I was kinda skeptical about it when people in forum don't recommend it. DO NOT buy this laptop. Just go for Razer or other legit gaming laptop.
Can't say I had those issues myself, but there are plenty of other reasons to get other options over this though.
I have a question, which do you prefer to content creator on premiere, editing 4k videos (Sony a7iii or DJI Mavic)?
Helios 300 + 1tb 860 EVO + 32gb extra + 27 external monitor AOC IPS 4k = 1.564USD
Dell XPS 15 7590 4k touch 16gb ram 1tb = 1.899 USD
AERO 15 Oled 16gb = 1.749 USD
Macbook Pro 16 BASE = 2.189 USD
I'd get the Aero personally, I use Windows so Apple is out, XPS costs too much for what you get, Helios would be ok but I prefer the big battery life/SD slot.
What laptop would you suggest for photo/video editing my budget is 1100usd? Can you give me atleast two options. Thanks!
I'd want something with decent screen and CPU/GPU power, so Lenovo Y540 or Acer Helios 300, either with GTX 1660 Ti and i7-9750H CPU.
