Definitely not the place to go for an objective comparison. You didn't show the frequencies hit by both computers in the benchmarks and handicapped the i9. The dell performs worse with the i9 due to throttling issues, it can't maintain boost on all cores with the higher frequencies due to thermal limitations. You can undervolt it or compare the i7 model and the xps will outperform the mbp.
@@Phaceial the same problem with i7 version, but like you said you can undervoult it and you will see real beast. ips screen is much better after calibration with x rite pro.
I use my Macbook Pro 2018 next to my Windows desktop PC and love them both. I love Macbook mainly for Final Cut, but also for its thin design even though it runs hot. I just enjoy to use it, it feels veeery good in hands, but that doesn't meen I don't like my Windows. Just use whatever you like and don't hate other people for using whatever they like.
I wish there were more people like you. The whole Windows vs Mac, or Apple vs Android thing is so overblown. If you don't like something, thats fine. Use whatever you like and let other people do the same. There are bigger problems in the world people, it really does not matter what gadgets people like.

I use to be part of this camp but my mbp 15 retina finally died after 7 years. I love the mac ecosystem but going forwards i bought a windows laptop but have a mac partition on my pc. I am a power logic pro and final cut user (tried fl studio and ableton but hate it) but also the stock photos app is great for organising files and i feel the hackintosh setup worked the best for me for powerful components but also storage out to hdds or external storage. But i guess to each their own
"some people will buy the mac just for this reason" (OS X) but fails to mention all the people that will buy the Dell because it has Windows.. Windows has a way better UI for productivity.. plus you're not limiting yourself to a handful of applications.. and also just like I predicted at the time..after they introduced the app store, most of better formerly free mac software suddenly became not so free. Plus all those people who think macs are more reliable are smoking something. Or comparing an expensive Mac to a bargain basement windows laptop. Macs are full of headaches. For example I tried to run migration assistant and it just gets stuck trying to update the os x on the new computer first... all of my father's documents mysteriously disappeared from the desktop, downloads and documents folders about a month ago. But basically for power users the mac can be frustrating since the UI is made more to look pretty than to be functional. The dock takes up way too much space. And is frustrating to navigate if you have a bunch of files open.. it just minimizes them all to the same area instead of organizing them by program the way windows can. So great if you use one or 2 programs at a time but confusing when you've got a lot open. I'm not saying macs suck but those people that think they are somehow better and that OS X is superior are smoking something. They both have pluses and minuses
Do I detect a hint (buy Apple) of bias from Max (buy Apple), when comparing these two laptops (buy Apple). Its like a subliminal message, so subtle (buy Apple) that you could almost miss it. BUY APPLE. I wonder which one he prefers? BUY APPLE BUY APPLE BUY APPLE. Very neutral comparison ... Disclosure, been a MacBook Pro user past decade plus, just bought XPS.

@@jinraigami3349 I live in a mac-windoes household. I think Ipad pro is the best tablet and digital pen device, even beating actual wacko tablets. The surface pro can eat shit since it gave me horrendous experience. I've used macbook air as a gift from a typical high-medium class asian family Christmas tradition. Macbooks nowadays are one shitty keyboard from being the perfect laptop. I use windows pc in the other hand due to insane power/price they have compared to macs (future mac pro is like $1000 more 3xpensive than its power tbh)
@@hellojello9070 nah! I just said I hope you don't use that mindset to judge things like most window and Android Fanboys do. I prefer Android and Window, but I always hate those Fanboys attacking Apple because they worship something different. Apple has its own good which is why it successes, but for me they don't offer what I was looking for.
Awesome comparison! One small thing to add about the SSD speeds. The SSD we get with the Dell is a Toshiba one and it's super slow. So, I ordered the lowest SSD possible with the laptop and later replaced with a Samsung EVO 970 2TB ;)
Dell is using multiple ssd's from toshiba, samsung, etc. But you never know what you are going to get. The top i9 model gets a higher end heat sink too. Good thing is you can sometimes buy samsung 1TB ssds for about $150 or less retail, and put your OEM one in a external enclosure.
There's a new Bios update on the 2019 XPS 15 7590, it's eliminates the GPU throttling! GPU temp goes under 70C or so! No throttle at all with better performance
Tally Ho Tech channel does crazy extensive testing on the throttling. Under volting the CPU eliminates the throttling to kick in. He shows real time tests with intense games like Battlefield 5 and fortnite. Because of those tests the dell XPS problems can definitely be eliminated with little tweaks. And under volting does NOT harm the CPU.
Good comparison. Would be interesting to see a battery life comparison, which I'm sure the Macbook would win. But that XPS screen made the Macbook's look dull in comparison, which is incredible. All in all, I think if you don't need MacOS, then you're better off saving $900 - and you don't have to worry about the keyboard failing either.
Got a MacBook 15 pro, latest 2019 model with 2.3 iCore 9, this is by far the best laptop I've ever had. I can never hear the fans working unless I need to build a project (doing software development 90% of time fan is off), battery is awesome 7-8 hours at least with mid screen brightness, keyboard works very well for me (reliability and typing wise) and build quality just nails it.
You never hear the fans because Apple decided to let the components burn and thermally throttle. You shouldn't be bragging about a decision that affects the longevity of your asset.
I think everybody should be nervous about the fact that Apple decided to solder the RAM and the SSD. I mean if the SSD breaks.. what are your options? Either you toss your motherboard in the bin (including th CPU and GPU and RAM =)) ) or you unsolder the ssd chips and solder on some new ones . WTF? ( I really love mac os and final cut and logic but that ssd soldering... god dammit apple!!!)
Apple fan boys will just tell you that the SSD soldered on the logic board is a more reliable connection which there is some truth to that, however, SSD's fail! If yours takes a crap then you better have some Apple care. If it fails outside Apple care then good luck! Dell wins!
Let's not neglect to mention that the one can upgrade the storage and RAM of the XPS easily should the need arise, whereas you can't do so for the Mac.
Here simplified the review for everyone..... Dell XPS upgradable, affordable, repairable....MBP is non upgradable, over priced and non repairable / disposable.
@@MrSurvival2 no I've had both. Just calling it how it really is. I just talked my daughter out of a MBP and into a new XPS13 for school. Best thing ever for her
David Wright one key factor for me in deciding whether to get a Windows or Mac laptop is resale value. Like any other machine, computers don’t last forever. I just shelled out for a new 15” upgraded MBP 2019 and I absolutely love it. The best thing about the purchase was that I saved $1500 from selling my old 2014 15” MBP. Good luck getting that type of resale value out of the XPS in the future.
@@MrSurvival2 I'm not concerned about resale of my computer. Even if i get $500-$800 when im done with it I saved the lower resale value on the much more affordable purchase price. Lets not forget the windows echo system beats Mac for productivity all day everyday....even Mac admits windows superior compatibility and functionality. Anyways it doesn't matter enjoy your purchase and take care.
My experience has been mainly with Windows laptops & computers, but I can respectfully admire the Mac OS side. While $900 is a big price difference, there's value in the experience the user gets from the product. I'm used to a touchscreen interface & value that feature; others obviously don't. With Macs, people get the benefit of the ecosystem. I know people who have worked in video production for years that say features like Air Drop are invaluable to them. Macs also seem to last for a long time & keep their value. I know some of Lenovo's Thinkpads can be like that, but most Windows laptops last 3-4 years. Macs seem to last 7-10 years. I think there's value to both sides, depending on who you are.
Once upon a time Macs were more reliable and would last longer, arguably making them worth the extra premium. Don't think that's true anymore with the machines of the past few years...too many issues with keyboards and thermal throttling. I had a 2017 XPS 13 but moved to a 2018 Mac Mini last Dec because I wanted a desktop computer. The only issue I had on the Dell was some coil whine (which I could ignore) and only saw the dreaded Windows blue screen of death once in 1.5 years. But my Mac Mini is intermittently having issues booting up stuck on the login progress bar, often requiring me to shut down and reboot several times before finally powering up. Will be taking it to my local Apple genius soon before the 1 year warranty is up. I decided to try a Mac because they were supposed to "just work"...Unfortunately that hasn't been my experience.
Nikka M my 2016 MacBook Pro lasted 2 years before the logic board went out. Now to fix it it will cost me 500 dollars through apple. Complete and utter trash if you ask me and will never buy another Apple Computer
6:25 Him: Complains about screen's glossy coating on the XPS while saying the MBP has a better one. Cuts to side shot of both screens and the XPS 15 is nice and clear while the MBP is blurry. Me: I'm sorry, you were saying?
@Cheeto Fresh comparing my new Dell OLED to friend's MacBook under harsh lights and outside there's simply no contest. The Dell trounces it. It has the best implementation (brightest with best anti reflective coating) of any models using the Samsung OLED. That makes it far better than the overrated Mac display. Obviously Apple excels in other areas like speakers but if he's trying to pitch the mac display as equal because its dimmer and less punchy (without calibrating either lol) then that's some serious bias.
I really like your channel. Subbed. When I seen the words (higher is better) I was like God this guy makes it easy to understand this. I recently purchased an xps 15, I'm just waiting on it to be delivered so I'm binging on reviews. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Peace.
Apple needs new and better graphics. They have had essentially the same Polaris Radeon chips since 2016. The Vega chips are better, but they cost wayyyy too much for their performance level.
TBH, the XPS, however, since I'm not that big into video editing, I'll get the 4k LCD with the 100% adobe RGB coverage, a lower tier SSD as I'd just replace it with a Samsung 1 or 2 terabyte anyways.
@@achebeterence6908 yeah he Is an apple fan but I don't speak based on his opinion the words he said I have used both the laptop so I know that most of the things he said is true like it or hate it !!
Macbook Pro outperforms the XPS, while being _way_ thinner. You can argue the validity of Apple's decision to make their computers so thin, but it's undeniable that they have some incredible engineers there.
The Macbook's thinness is actually a bit of an illusion because it's thicker in the middle and gets thinner at the edges. At their thickest points, they're almost the same, with the MBP being 0.61 inch (or 1.55cm) and the XPS 0.66 inch (or 1.7cm).
Excellent comparison. I was contemplating getting the 7590 a few weeks ago, but ultimately went with the MBP... the same config you listed, but with 1TB SSD (which was discounted by $200 a few days after I purchased. I did receive a credit from Apple). The 7590 is the better value, but the two reasons I avoided it were 1) the last XPS 15 had serious quality control issues. Light bleed, bad wifi, dead keyboards and other issues were pretty prevalent in the reviews I read. Yeah, the prior gen MBP had a high keyboard failure rate, but Apple addressed that with their lifetime repair bulletin. The other was macOS. It's just a much better operating system and having to deal with all the quirks of Windows in a web development world wasn't worth the $900 discount - to me. Your mileage may vary.
Bad wifi ? They have one of the best right now dead keyboard ? Macbook pro touchbar... Mac os is not a much better OS lol, just different... You probably don't use Windows 10 the right way, or don't know it at all... Xps 15 had serious quality issues ? The 7590 ? Never heard about that. Not more than the Macbook pro i think, with t2 crashes, a famous youtuber was showing that his 2018 macbook pro is literally dying... It's not lifetime it's just 4 years... What quirks are you talking about ? You used probably a low end windows latop, if you have a great laptop, there is no reason it will have more issue than a Macbook pro Just choose what you like, and stop trying to say that windows laptop are bad, or windows is bad... All laptop sucks !
ikutake dude, take a chill pill. I use Windows all the time and have a fully maxed out Windows desktop. For web development (Node, PHP, Mongo) macOS is a better system. It’s why you see a largely disproportionate number of Macs in the developer community. And yes, if you read reviews, the XPS 15 has a large amount of reviews that cite the WiFi card that comes with it as flaky. Luckily it’s removable and pretty cheap to replace. But still, not something I wanted to deal with. And yes, the MBP 15 keyboards have been faulty in pre 2019 models. But Apple has a blanket ‘we will replace it’ policy. Many of the faulty XPS 15 reviews cite terrible service from Dell. That’s just something I don’t want to deal with.
Nice comparison - I've always used budget laptops and buy used Dell latitude ranges but I wanted the OLED screen for movie use while travelling. That screen is the biggest selling point for me and it's just so much better than any LCD. Once I went LG OLED for my TV it's hard to use anything that's not OLED.
So basically, rendering speeds are higher, graphic performance is more reliable and the display is more color accurate and all of this for 900$ cheaper... ye right, not switching to apple anytime soon.
Rendering & graphic performance are pretty much neck and neck on both of these devices but when it comes to the screen, the MBP is more color accurate compared to XPS's. But you're pretty right the price is not right for the MBP.
@@void9092 I saw some adobe color accuracy stats and the xps had a better % of spectrum covered there but yeah, i feel like for that price difference, the mbp should perform way better in every category... the supposed user experience the OS provides doesnt and cant justify that price tag.
Thank you for the video! I'm now leaning towards the XPS rather than the MacBook Pro. I am curious about one thing. How are the cameras for video chats and meetings?
The XPS 15's camera is at the bottom of the display, above the keyboard shooting up (not a flattering angle) vs the macbook's traditional positioning being centered and above the display. So it comes down to preference.
Johnny Wynn What the computer is worth is definitely subjective as certain users value different things over another but for me as a photographer, graphic artist, and coder - Best customer support - Best build quality - Best trackpad - Best Speakers - Metal support - Best multi-OS Support (Windows, MacOS, Linux) - Best battery life of a laptop with dedicated GPU - Thinnest i9 laptop Plus being one of the only laptops with a 10 bit panel made the value worth it for me.
It's indeed the best value for me too, I've been a Windows user forever Until I switched to Mac, ever since then I never looked back. Everything is so much cleaner and more Simple. And I'm not a Gamer so Mac doesn't dissapoint me in a any way possible. The Build Quality is the best I've seen and feel. EVER, Every list you mentioned are also a reason I Stay with Mac, when I used a Windows Laptop while having a Macbook, it felt like a downgrade, and "Cheap" Plastic, if you get what I'm saying lol Windows isn't bad by Any means but Mac wins for me
@@Racko. I have been on MAC OS for about 10 years, so long enough to have gotten used to it. I HATE IT WITH A PASSION. My Apple fanboy friend constantly tells me how terrible windows is and how often Windows crashes [despite the fact he doesn't use it], yet I work on a PC at work and rarely have problems. My Mac at home has just as many issues, if not more. The whole argument about 'cheapness' and plastic, and the materials is also just a justification for those who like it to spend money. Does anyone really care if something is plastic if the darn thing works? It is great that you love macs, but the reality is, Apple's products are far more expensive and there is very little benefit you are receiving for that premium. And for those that talk about service, Apple's service stopped being good about 7 years ago. Even those that work for Apple admit it.
@ its because people who have very low knowledge of computers are easily overwhelmed with the possibilities of windows there is just so much to tweak and customize. People with less knowledge just get overwhelmed and say it's too complicated
I would buy the MacBook Pro. I've had both a Dell and a MacBook Pro. I have run my MacBook Pro 24 x 7 four 3 years and I have no issues with it. Then I sold the MacBook Pro and still got a decent price for it. The Dell when I ran it 24 x 7 it died in one year and the field services folks told me to get a new one. It was not repairable. I know the MacBook Pro is going to be more expensive upfront but build quality matters and in the long run it's going to be a better value.
buy the 13" macbook pro and the dell oled both with extended warranties with change left over for less than the one macbook pro. maybe get a egpu with the change.
The fact that it was even a close comparison and Dell had beat Macbook in a few areas when one laptop is a third more expensive than the other makes it pretty clear which ones better by a longshot. Imagine comparing the performance of a 2000 and 3000 laptop and the 3000 one being literally marginally better in a few niche areas.
Man, I would love to be able to get computers as cheap as you do over there. The same MBP here costs 5420 EUROS. The same Dell I can't find here to make a direct comparison.
MacBook pro all day long. Performance on par with the xps and better in some areas, 4 thunderbolt 3 ports, less virus prone environment, Final Cut Pro X, better build and it can run Windows if you really need it to. Not even a competition in my book.
Hey, what do you think the best xps 13 for a university student using word excel RUclips movies sometimes programs etc no gaming just for school and heavy research and usage. What kind of configuration for the xps 13 should I get.
If you don't need a new computer right now, I suggest you wait until later this year (if you can). There's been RUMORS that Apple might be releasing a new MacBook Pro model. Rumors say that it could be a 16" inch model, or even three 12" inch, 14" inch, and 16" inch altogether. MacBook Pros usually get a major redesign every four years with the last major redesign being in 2016. If you can't wait a few months, the 15" inch 2019 model is an absolutely perfect choice. I'm actually getting the entry-level (with 512GB storage) 15" inch 2019 model myself.
@@MrHelloAP Especially Flutter/React Native mobile devs. You can target both iOS and Android platforms using a Mac while on Windows, you can only target Android.
Did you turn on the Waves enhancements for the internal speaker? I found that without it, there's actually no output below around 100hz which is why it sounds thin. With it, there's output to about 50hz at low levels but you get a lot of the bass back anyway.
the thermal throttle is no comparison, $20 and you can if any on the dell, good luck on the mpb. Also both can run windows and mac os. as for the ssd, jsut get the smallest for the xps and replace it with an aftermarket 15 minutes after purchasing, safe a ton of money and get a great performance boost.
Thanks for the reviews Max! I was always a dell girl. I do have a macbook but i FIND i reach for my XPS the most. One reason is the cost. Another is that not all software is compatible with Mac. Like I have the Adobe Creative suite and the Corel software which is not compatible with mac. Even in college my mac air I would take with my for class and use for schoolwork and writing while my dell was more for entertainment. Another reason is cause do graphics, photos and editing which makes the SD slot already on the computer desirable. One con with windows is having to buy subscription to antivirus whereas with Mac you don't have to do that. At the end, apple is just paying for brand name. But for my 15 inch XPS with 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD and MBP 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD I saved $1000 with my dell purchase. I like both but just prefer my XPS for heavy duty stuff and Macbook for basic everyday usage. It all just comes down to personal preference.
@@Redwood1-1 mmh I see. I am a person who uses chrome/word/Lightroom stuff. And since I am a photographer I am also wondering I I should go for the oled also for video editing
I love your videos very helpful. I watched the comparison video with the MacBook from last year as well as some others because I am having this exact debate right now. What would you say to those people who say, well the MacBook will last for twice as long, 8-10 years at the same functional level. So then saying the price of them is really the same? I’m so torn.
Going from Windows to Mac, you’ll definitely notice the difference in build quality and much better trackpad, speakers. You’ll also notice more reliability. Less error messages and blue screen crashes and other stuff like that. It just works. -Vadim
Helpppp !! In a few months I'm going to college for the multi-media field meaning; graphic design,illustrations,animation,3D,coding, etc... And was wondering what laptop i should buy... The mac would cost me 3600€ and the dell xps 7590 would cost me 2300€, a diffrence of 1300€ is huge!! Overall it seems the dell would come ahead for the 1300€ lesser cost?
When it comes the time of selling or changing the laptop to get a better one (I'm talking from here to two years max) which one have more facilities? Thank you!
Adobe suite is better optimized for OSX ..even if all hardware was equal, premier renders would have been quicker on the Mac. This is more of an issue of Adobe making crap software for PC than a dig on the XPS
I got the 2019 inch i9 base model for $500 less second hand almost like new . Btw, this is compared to US pricing. I actually saved an $800 to $1000 compared to how much it goes for where I live. I think it was a great deal. The best thing is that it seems it already got its first depreciation hit so when I sell it a year or two from now, it will depreciate much less. If you want to get a Mac , get them used and use them for like a year or two then sell them. That way you don’t lose much since they hold their value quite well. Of course, this doesn’t apply to buying mew.
I think getting a 13" 2k macbook pro, and a top 4k xps 15 oled model with wxtended warranties, will be cheaper than just getting a 15" 2K lcd alone. And get an eGpu with the change.
would love those ports oled touch 4k, upgradeable ram, ssd, sd card slot, battery indicator, thin bezels, face id, and $1000-$2000 lower price comparably on the macbook pro,
xps is a beast.touchscreen ips is much better. After calibration with x rite i1display pro is amazing for photo editing. the same with previous edition of xps.My girlfriend has mcb 2018 and i'm sick when i looking on those adapters.No hdmi no sd card slot, how someone can call this laptop pro.
You should undervolt the XPS 15 to get better performance. I've got render time varying from 5 mins to 8 mins for 4k 5-min video. But after undervolting it, the render time is just over 4 mins, like the MacBook Pro 16.
XPS is cheaper, but here in Norway its almost impossible to sell a windows pc used compared to Mac. So if you buy a windows you will lose way more money in the end versus buying a Mac..
i was also waiting for 16inch macbook pro , but it will start at 3k or more and still we dont get OLED Screen. same retina display with 3k res seems like dell xps15 with oled is good value
@@johndinakar5167 This is the 2018 model. Now the 2019 have a lot of improvements, one of those are the oled screen that looks awesome. In addition you can take a look of the msi p65 creator, but this model have a level down of construction quality than the Razer and dell
THANK YOU SO MUCH for that comparison. I have a MacBook Pro now I purchased in November 2010 (great keyboard NEVER had any issues) I like APPLE, but I'am quite concerned about Apple's latest Laptops. I'am IMPRESSED with DELL'S XPS 15 7590 and considering it. It's basically BETTER and a bargain.
What color profile are you using on the Mac? I’ve noticed that the p3 looks kind of washed out but the Apple RGB is a lot more punchy. But on the larger external monitor I prefer the p3.
I gave up Macs years ago mainly because of its clumsy file system. About to buy an XPS i9 for video and image editing. A Photoshop pro recommended AGAINST 4K but I really don't understand why. Comments???
I'm having trouble exporting and using playback on Premiere with H.264 files on the XPS 15. It's keeps saying "Rendering Error". I saw that you were exporting fine on Premiere. Any tips on settings I can change or use?
Lmao it's not color accurate. Like the XPS it's over saturated. Both need to be calibrated to the correct color space. Both have the capacity to be accurate. I edit and take photos for money. I can be considered a 'pro' I use an XPS 15 and a Windows desktop I built.
Out of the box apple RGB is over saturated and the XPS is also oversaturated. Both should be calibrated using a spider calibrator or something similar.
Not true. The XPS 15 has a OLED display that can show 100 % of Adobe RGB colour gamut. That actually means you will get more colours and more accurate colours when working in colourmanaged applications (Of course, you will need to calibrate your display, in order to secure it show the right colours!)
would you give me one advice. i browse about 20 tabs in chrome, simultaneously opening mozilla, internet explorer and simultaneously running 4-5software? my old laptop can handle @t freezes and is slow in performance. which model laptop will be suitable for me? i mean which laptop can handle multitaksing smoothly and has high speed performance. i dont care cost. i need fast and smooth runnning laptop
I just bought the Dell 7590 (the new XPS15). After looking at MacBooks, I just couldn't justify the price for my uses. I also use my computers until they run in to the ground. For example, this new Dell is replacing my old Dell XPS m1530 from 2007!!! So, the ability to upgrade the computer as time moves on with more RAM and storage is a big plus for someone like me. The MacBook is a nice computer, I wont deny that, but it's not the right computer for me.
@@supertigerman013 true but it's much better I have an older MacBook Pro and it too sound good. Apple has not yet skimped there. But to be fair the Dell sound ok with the app. But with that 4k OLED you are going to be using quality headphones or external speakers for best quality
I am really interested to see how the MBP would perform running Windows in boot camp...to see if it still performs like this on the windows side. Could you do that for all of us?!
This is one of the reasons I watch your videos Max. I have never understood why people say that you only focus on Apple products. Hackintosh videos Max??? Come on!!!
True, he doesn't focus on Apple products only, but just like on the XPS 9380 vs MBP 13", he just takes the only points where the McBook does better and... that's it.. the video is still very good but you know what I mean. It's Apple 200% and bashing every other competitor.
Thomas Chaudeyrac Oh, that’s one of the reasons I watch Max’s channels. I am pro Apple and like Windows 7/10. This is why, I wouldn’t like Him to be more neutral as well. And, I will end with a thought. Maybe, Max believes he’s being being Neutral already?
@@WarriorsPhoto I think he is convinced about this, and I completely understand him. Why would you make videos about products you don't like more than the others ?

Plus all those people who think macs are more reliable are smoking something. Or comparing an expensive Mac to a bargain basement windows laptop. Macs are full of headaches. For example I tried to run migration assistant and it just gets stuck trying to update the os x on the new computer first... all of my father's documents mysteriously disappeared from the desktop, downloads and documents folders about a month ago. But basically for power users the mac can be frustrating since the UI is made more to look pretty than to be functional. The dock takes up way too much space. And is frustrating to navigate if you have a bunch of files open.. it just minimizes them all to the same area instead of organizing them by program the way windows can. So great if you use one or 2 programs at a time but confusing when you've got a lot open. I'm not saying macs suck but those people that think they are somehow better and that OS X is superior are smoking something. They both have pluses and minuses

"No comparison, it's so much better"

One small thing to add about the SSD speeds.
The SSD we get with the Dell is a Toshiba one and it's super slow.
So, I ordered the lowest SSD possible with the laptop and later replaced with a Samsung EVO 970 2TB ;)
Did you notice a big different? I'm not tech savy, but Googled the SSD you mentioned and am considering doing the same thing. Thanks for your help!
@@Ryan_Steck : I didn't use the original one for a long time. But I definitely see a speed up in the boot time.

Good comparison. Would be interesting to see a battery life comparison, which I'm sure the Macbook would win. But that XPS screen made the Macbook's look dull in comparison, which is incredible. All in all, I think if you don't need MacOS, then you're better off saving $900 - and you don't have to worry about the keyboard failing either.
Got a MacBook 15 pro, latest 2019 model with 2.3 iCore 9, this is by far the best laptop I've ever had. I can never hear the fans working unless I need to build a project (doing software development 90% of time fan is off), battery is awesome 7-8 hours at least with mid screen brightness, keyboard works very well for me (reliability and typing wise) and build quality just nails it.
To bad the i7 performs better than the i9
You never hear the fans because Apple decided to let the components burn and thermally throttle. You shouldn't be bragging about a decision that affects the longevity of your asset.
@@asicdathens Yes I get this, it just never gets hot.
5:30 - these monuments are in Bulgaria. Greetings!
I think everybody should be nervous about the fact that Apple decided to solder the RAM and the SSD. I mean if the SSD breaks.. what are your options? Either you toss your motherboard in the bin (including th CPU and GPU and RAM =)) ) or you unsolder the ssd chips and solder on some new ones . WTF? ( I really love mac os and final cut and logic but that ssd soldering... god dammit apple!!!)
You can't even do that, the T2 chip will make sure that the machine won't boot after you change the soldered SSD.
good point, the dell's RAM is actually extensible to 64 GB
Apple fan boys will just tell you that the SSD soldered on the logic board is a more reliable connection which there is some truth to that, however, SSD's fail! If yours takes a crap then you better have some Apple care. If it fails outside Apple care then good luck! Dell wins!
Thanks for the review Max! The new XPS 15 it's a beast.
Try also the battery the next time ;)
Let's not neglect to mention that the one can upgrade the storage and RAM of the XPS easily should the need arise, whereas you can't do so for the Mac.
Exactly. You get 32gb of ram & a 1tb SSD drive for under $400 vs getting that shit on a MacBook would cost an extra $1k if not more

Here simplified the review for everyone..... Dell XPS upgradable, affordable, repairable....MBP is non upgradable, over priced and non repairable / disposable.
David Wright sounds like you’re biased to the XPS to me
@@MrSurvival2 no I've had both. Just calling it how it really is. I just talked my daughter out of a MBP and into a new XPS13 for school. Best thing ever for her
David Wright one key factor for me in deciding whether to get a Windows or Mac laptop is resale value. Like any other machine, computers don’t last forever. I just shelled out for a new 15” upgraded MBP 2019 and I absolutely love it. The best thing about the purchase was that I saved $1500 from selling my old 2014 15” MBP. Good luck getting that type of resale value out of the XPS in the future.
@@MrSurvival2 I'm not concerned about resale of my computer. Even if i get $500-$800 when im done with it I saved the lower resale value on the much more affordable purchase price. Lets not forget the windows echo system beats Mac for productivity all day everyday....even Mac admits windows superior compatibility and functionality. Anyways it doesn't matter enjoy your purchase and take care.
@@MrSurvival2 it seems to be following the facts, mbp buyers are just people with low self/esteem
My experience has been mainly with Windows laptops & computers, but I can respectfully admire the Mac OS side. While $900 is a big price difference, there's value in the experience the user gets from the product. I'm used to a touchscreen interface & value that feature; others obviously don't. With Macs, people get the benefit of the ecosystem. I know people who have worked in video production for years that say features like Air Drop are invaluable to them. Macs also seem to last for a long time & keep their value. I know some of Lenovo's Thinkpads can be like that, but most Windows laptops last 3-4 years. Macs seem to last 7-10 years. I think there's value to both sides, depending on who you are.
Once upon a time Macs were more reliable and would last longer, arguably making them worth the extra premium. Don't think that's true anymore with the machines of the past few years...too many issues with keyboards and thermal throttling. I had a 2017 XPS 13 but moved to a 2018 Mac Mini last Dec because I wanted a desktop computer. The only issue I had on the Dell was some coil whine (which I could ignore) and only saw the dreaded Windows blue screen of death once in 1.5 years. But my Mac Mini is intermittently having issues booting up stuck on the login progress bar, often requiring me to shut down and reboot several times before finally powering up. Will be taking it to my local Apple genius soon before the 1 year warranty is up. I decided to try a Mac because they were supposed to "just work"...Unfortunately that hasn't been my experience.
Nikka M my 2016 MacBook Pro lasted 2 years before the logic board went out. Now to fix it it will cost me 500 dollars through apple. Complete and utter trash if you ask me and will never buy another Apple Computer
i suspect you are being deceitful... You are spouting the talking points of apple fanboys verbatim ...

Him: Complains about screen's glossy coating on the XPS while saying the MBP has a better one. Cuts to side shot of both screens and the XPS 15 is nice and clear while the MBP is blurry.
Me: I'm sorry, you were saying?
@Cheeto Fresh comparing my new Dell OLED to friend's MacBook under harsh lights and outside there's simply no contest. The Dell trounces it. It has the best implementation (brightest with best anti reflective coating) of any models using the Samsung OLED. That makes it far better than the overrated Mac display. Obviously Apple excels in other areas like speakers but if he's trying to pitch the mac display as equal because its dimmer and less punchy (without calibrating either lol) then that's some serious bias.
I really like your channel. Subbed. When I seen the words (higher is better) I was like God this guy makes it easy to understand this. I recently purchased an xps 15, I'm just waiting on it to be delivered so I'm binging on reviews. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Peace.
7:10 Great video as always, although I love Windows the speaker tests get me every time. Great Job.
Apple needs new and better graphics. They have had essentially the same Polaris Radeon chips since 2016. The Vega chips are better, but they cost wayyyy too much for their performance level.
You’re forgetting the laptop’s form factor limitations
Johnny Wynn I’m not. AMD has the new Navi architecture so all Apple has to do is place an order for custom chips.
Make Vega standard on the 15-inch at least would be nice for the next gen, perhaps put these Polaris to the 13-inch ?
True, but they make "big changes" in their Macs later than expected, that can be a reason why they're halting it for those custom chips right now
DrMacintosh they still need some work before you can out them in a laptop.
TBH, the XPS, however, since I'm not that big into video editing, I'll get the 4k LCD with the 100% adobe RGB coverage, a lower tier SSD as I'd just replace it with a Samsung 1 or 2 terabyte anyways.

@@achebeterence6908 yeah he
Is an apple fan but I don't speak based on his opinion the words he said I have used both the laptop so I know that most of the things he said is true like it or hate it !!
Yeah the XPS is louder from the fans, but at least the parts aren't going to be damaged from throttling
MacBook Pro would be my choice because I prefer MacOS over Windows and I use FCP.
Macbook Pro outperforms the XPS, while being _way_ thinner. You can argue the validity of Apple's decision to make their computers so thin, but it's undeniable that they have some incredible engineers there.
The Macbook's thinness is actually a bit of an illusion because it's thicker in the middle and gets thinner at the edges. At their thickest points, they're almost the same, with the MBP being 0.61 inch (or 1.55cm) and the XPS 0.66 inch (or 1.7cm).
Thanks for the comparison!
And how about battery life on both?
Excellent comparison. I was contemplating getting the 7590 a few weeks ago, but ultimately went with the MBP... the same config you listed, but with 1TB SSD (which was discounted by $200 a few days after I purchased. I did receive a credit from Apple). The 7590 is the better value, but the two reasons I avoided it were 1) the last XPS 15 had serious quality control issues. Light bleed, bad wifi, dead keyboards and other issues were pretty prevalent in the reviews I read. Yeah, the prior gen MBP had a high keyboard failure rate, but Apple addressed that with their lifetime repair bulletin. The other was macOS. It's just a much better operating system and having to deal with all the quirks of Windows in a web development world wasn't worth the $900 discount - to me. Your mileage may vary.
Bad wifi ? They have one of the best right now
dead keyboard ? Macbook pro touchbar...
Mac os is not a much better OS lol, just different...
You probably don't use Windows 10 the right way, or don't know it at all...
Xps 15 had serious quality issues ? The 7590 ? Never heard about that. Not more than the Macbook pro i think, with t2 crashes, a famous youtuber was showing that his 2018 macbook pro is literally dying...
It's not lifetime it's just 4 years...
What quirks are you talking about ? You used probably a low end windows latop, if you have a great laptop, there is no reason it will have more issue than a Macbook pro
Just choose what you like, and stop trying to say that windows laptop are bad, or windows is bad...
All laptop sucks !
ikutake dude, take a chill pill. I use Windows all the time and have a fully maxed out Windows desktop. For web development (Node, PHP, Mongo) macOS is a better system. It’s why you see a largely disproportionate number of Macs in the developer community.
And yes, if you read reviews, the XPS 15 has a large amount of reviews that cite the WiFi card that comes with it as flaky. Luckily it’s removable and pretty cheap to replace. But still, not something I wanted to deal with.
And yes, the MBP 15 keyboards have been faulty in pre 2019 models. But Apple has a blanket ‘we will replace it’ policy. Many of the faulty XPS 15 reviews cite terrible service from Dell. That’s just something I don’t want to deal with.
My current laptop PC renders 5 minutes at 1080p in ... 5-6 hours. WTF This Dell is amazing!
I upgraded from macbook pro to XPS 15 no regrets. I do like the macbooks but taking off all the ports and adding touch bar was a huge disappointment
Hey Max, Great comparision! Which camera was the footage from in the test?
Nice comparison - I've always used budget laptops and buy used Dell latitude ranges but I wanted the OLED screen for movie use while travelling. That screen is the biggest selling point for me and it's just so much better than any LCD. Once I went LG OLED for my TV it's hard to use anything that's not OLED.
So basically, rendering speeds are higher, graphic performance is more reliable and the display is more color accurate and all of this for 900$ cheaper... ye right, not switching to apple anytime soon.
Rendering & graphic performance are pretty much neck and neck on both of these devices but when it comes to the screen, the MBP is more color accurate compared to XPS's. But you're pretty right the price is not right for the MBP.
@@void9092 I saw some adobe color accuracy stats and the xps had a better % of spectrum covered there but yeah, i feel like for that price difference, the mbp should perform way better in every category... the supposed user experience the OS provides doesnt and cant justify that price tag.
@@void9092 both need to be calibrated as out of the box both are oversaturated. The XPS has a much wider gamut tho and can be calibrated to show more.
Thank you for the video! I'm now leaning towards the XPS rather than the MacBook Pro. I am curious about one thing. How are the cameras for video chats and meetings?
The XPS 15's camera is at the bottom of the display, above the keyboard shooting up (not a flattering angle) vs the macbook's traditional positioning being centered and above the display. So it comes down to preference.
@@pacificbloomco Thank you! Very good to know.
@@christinatattersall they moved the camera to the top of the display on the 7590.

MacOS alone is a good enough reason for me to choose the MacBook 15” despite that Price where the dell gives more for the money
Johnny Wynn What the computer is worth is definitely subjective as certain users value different things over another but for me as a photographer, graphic artist, and coder
- Best customer support
- Best build quality
- Best trackpad
- Best Speakers
- Metal support
- Best multi-OS Support (Windows, MacOS, Linux)
- Best battery life of a laptop with dedicated GPU
- Thinnest i9 laptop
Plus being one of the only laptops with a 10 bit panel made the value worth it for me.
It's indeed the best value for me too, I've been a Windows user forever Until I switched to Mac, ever since then I never looked back. Everything is so much cleaner and more Simple. And I'm not a Gamer so Mac doesn't dissapoint me in a any way possible. The Build Quality is the best I've seen and feel. EVER, Every list you mentioned are also a reason I Stay with Mac, when I used a Windows Laptop while having a Macbook, it felt like a downgrade, and "Cheap" Plastic, if you get what I'm saying lol
Windows isn't bad by Any means but Mac wins for me
@@Racko. I have been on MAC OS for about 10 years, so long enough to have gotten used to it. I HATE IT WITH A PASSION. My Apple fanboy friend constantly tells me how terrible windows is and how often Windows crashes [despite the fact he doesn't use it], yet I work on a PC at work and rarely have problems. My Mac at home has just as many issues, if not more. The whole argument about 'cheapness' and plastic, and the materials is also just a justification for those who like it to spend money. Does anyone really care if something is plastic if the darn thing works? It is great that you love macs, but the reality is, Apple's products are far more expensive and there is very little benefit you are receiving for that premium. And for those that talk about service, Apple's service stopped being good about 7 years ago. Even those that work for Apple admit it.
noitall man Good for you. Now shoo
@ its because people who have very low knowledge of computers are easily overwhelmed with the possibilities of windows there is just so much to tweak and customize. People with less knowledge just get overwhelmed and say it's too complicated
I would buy the MacBook Pro. I've had both a Dell and a MacBook Pro. I have run my MacBook Pro 24 x 7 four 3 years and I have no issues with it. Then I sold the MacBook Pro and still got a decent price for it. The Dell when I ran it 24 x 7 it died in one year and the field services folks told me to get a new one. It was not repairable. I know the MacBook Pro is going to be more expensive upfront but build quality matters and in the long run it's going to be a better value.

The fact that it was even a close comparison and Dell had beat Macbook in a few areas when one laptop is a third more expensive than the other makes it pretty clear which ones better by a longshot. Imagine comparing the performance of a 2000 and 3000 laptop and the 3000 one being literally marginally better in a few niche areas.
Well, the 5GHz processor upgrade on the MBP actually does make a difference in performance and benchmarks.
Doing calculations the difference in price is comparable to boost in performance if not even better.

I have an older Dell XPS 13” inch model. I’m thinking of getting the 15” inch 2019 model.
If you don't need a new computer right now, I suggest you wait until later this year (if you can). There's been RUMORS that Apple might be releasing a new MacBook Pro model. Rumors say that it could be a 16" inch model, or even three 12" inch, 14" inch, and 16" inch altogether. MacBook Pros usually get a major redesign every four years with the last major redesign being in 2016. If you can't wait a few months, the 15" inch 2019 model is an absolutely perfect choice.

No.
Did the same, no regrets. Enjoying a decent keyboard and far better screen for almost half the money.
No you did not. The few areas the Macbook outperforms the XPS (primarily audio), it does not merit spending an extra $1000. The XPS is a great option.
I might be DEFECTING over to DELL as well. A Better Bargain.
For the price difference I would just upgrade my Ram to 64gb and buy some high end (headphones, speakers) accessories.
Did you turn on the Waves enhancements for the internal speaker? I found that without it, there's actually no output below around 100hz which is why it sounds thin. With it, there's output to about 50hz at low levels but you get a lot of the bass back anyway.
What about thermal..fan? Which one gets hotter?
the thermal throttle is no comparison, $20 and you can if any on the dell, good luck on the mpb. Also both can run windows and mac os.
as for the ssd, jsut get the smallest for the xps and replace it with an aftermarket 15 minutes after purchasing, safe a ton of money and get a great performance boost.

Thanks for the reviews Max! I was always a dell girl. I do have a macbook but i FIND i reach for my XPS the most. One reason is the cost. Another is that not all software is compatible with Mac. Like I have the Adobe Creative suite and the Corel software which is not compatible with mac. Even in college my mac air I would take with my for class and use for schoolwork and writing while my dell was more for entertainment. Another reason is cause do graphics, photos and editing which makes the SD slot already on the computer desirable. One con with windows is having to buy subscription to antivirus whereas with Mac you don't have to do that. At the end, apple is just paying for brand name. But for my 15 inch XPS with 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD and MBP 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD I saved $1000 with my dell purchase. I like both but just prefer my XPS for heavy duty stuff and Macbook for basic everyday usage. It all just comes down to personal preference.

Helpppp !! In a few months I'm going to college for the multi-media field meaning; graphic design,illustrations,animation,3D,coding, etc... And was wondering what laptop i should buy... The mac would cost me 3600€ and the dell xps 7590 would cost me 2300€, a diffrence of 1300€ is huge!! Overall it seems the dell would come ahead for the 1300€ lesser cost?
When it comes the time of selling or changing the laptop to get a better one (I'm talking from here to two years max) which one have more facilities? Thank you!
Adobe suite is better optimized for OSX ..even if all hardware was equal, premier renders would have been quicker on the Mac. This is more of an issue of Adobe making crap software for PC than a dig on the XPS
I got the 2019 inch i9 base model for $500 less second hand almost like new . Btw, this is compared to US pricing. I actually saved an $800 to $1000 compared to how much it goes for where I live. I think it was a great deal. The best thing is that it seems it already got its first depreciation hit so when I sell it a year or two from now, it will depreciate much less. If you want to get a Mac , get them used and use them for like a year or two then sell them. That way you don’t lose much since they hold their value quite well. Of course, this doesn’t apply to buying mew.
XPS display wins hands down; better thermals too. MBP has basically no thermals control - that's why it is soo slim.

xps is a beast.touchscreen ips is much better. After calibration with x rite i1display pro is amazing for photo editing. the same with previous edition of xps.My girlfriend has mcb 2018 and i'm sick when i looking on those adapters.No hdmi no sd card slot, how someone can call this laptop pro.
Nice work :) please review the Gigabyte Aero with OLED screen (2019 model)
It's painfully obvious, that you're biased towards Apple. Fanboys will always find excuses for Apples poor products for ridiculous prices
You should undervolt the XPS 15 to get better performance. I've got render time varying from 5 mins to 8 mins for 4k 5-min video. But after undervolting it, the render time is just over 4 mins, like the MacBook Pro 16.
XPS is cheaper, but here in Norway its almost impossible to sell a windows pc used compared to Mac. So if you buy a windows you will lose way more money in the end versus buying a Mac..
People, just wait for the 16" MacBook Pro being announced in less than 2 months
He Will down the prices of this?
Lol, it'll probably start at 3k dollars
i was also waiting for 16inch macbook pro , but it will start at 3k or more and still we dont get OLED Screen. same retina display with 3k res
seems like dell xps15 with oled is good value
@@crisito12 watched Dave Lee razer review, seems good but many say for reliability razer is bad..quality and things..that's the single reason
@@johndinakar5167 This is the 2018 model. Now the 2019 have a lot of improvements, one of those are the oled screen that looks awesome. In addition you can take a look of the msi p65 creator, but this model have a level down of construction quality than the Razer and dell
THANK YOU SO MUCH for that comparison. I have a MacBook Pro now I purchased in November 2010 (great keyboard NEVER had any issues) I like APPLE, but I'am quite concerned about Apple's latest Laptops. I'am IMPRESSED with DELL'S XPS 15 7590 and considering it. It's basically BETTER and a bargain.
What color profile are you using on the Mac? I’ve noticed that the p3 looks kind of washed out but the Apple RGB is a lot more punchy. But on the larger external monitor I prefer the p3.
I gave up Macs years ago mainly because of its clumsy file system.
About to buy an XPS i9 for video and image editing. A Photoshop pro recommended AGAINST 4K but I really don't understand why.
Comments???
I'm having trouble exporting and using playback on Premiere with H.264 files on the XPS 15. It's keeps saying "Rendering Error". I saw that you were exporting fine on Premiere. Any tips on settings I can change or use?
You should show us cpu temperature. Do XPS and Macbook pro have same thermal throttling issues ？
Roscoe Au yes. Every thin laptop has that issue.
I hear the Dell NVME Drive is a bit slow and that things speed up if you replace it.
2019 XPS 15 is a better Laptop
I am starting to BELIEVE the same thing.
Apple fanbois will argue
You seem almost shocked anytime the dell did something better or close to the MBP , I guess we know where your loyalty is.
Mac’s display is better because it gives natural colors and if you ask any photoshop pros they will tell you it is the best for color accuracy
So true
Lmao it's not color accurate. Like the XPS it's over saturated. Both need to be calibrated to the correct color space. Both have the capacity to be accurate. I edit and take photos for money. I can be considered a 'pro' I use an XPS 15 and a Windows desktop I built.
Out of the box apple RGB is over saturated and the XPS is also oversaturated. Both should be calibrated using a spider calibrator or something similar.
Not true. The XPS 15 has a OLED display that can show 100 % of Adobe RGB colour gamut. That actually means you will get more colours and more accurate colours when working in colourmanaged applications (Of course, you will need to calibrate your display, in order to secure it show the right colours!)
would you give me one advice. i browse about 20 tabs in chrome, simultaneously opening mozilla, internet explorer and simultaneously running 4-5software? my old laptop can handle @t freezes and is slow in performance. which model laptop will be suitable for me? i mean which laptop can handle multitaksing smoothly and has high speed performance. i dont care cost. i need fast and smooth runnning laptop
Great review! Influenced my decision.
I really enjoy your videos and especially the background music
Performance depends on the OS. Apple is a proprietary OS while Windows code is readily available for everyone.
I just bought the Dell 7590 (the new XPS15). After looking at MacBooks, I just couldn't justify the price for my uses. I also use my computers until they run in to the ground. For example, this new Dell is replacing my old Dell XPS m1530 from 2007!!! So, the ability to upgrade the computer as time moves on with more RAM and storage is a big plus for someone like me. The MacBook is a nice computer, I wont deny that, but it's not the right computer for me.
I think the MacBook pulls out ahead in the premiere test because of the optimisation of Adobe apps on Mac OS
Please tell me the battery life of this model Dell XPS 15 XPS7590-7626SLV-PCA Laptop, i7-9750H
dell audio app, you must use it in all comparisons:)
Still not even close to MBP's speaker quality, but yeah he certainly should've used it.
@@supertigerman013 true but it's much better
I have an older MacBook Pro and it too sound good.
Apple has not yet skimped there.
But to be fair the Dell sound ok with the app.
But with that 4k OLED you are going to be using quality headphones or external speakers for best quality
I am really interested to see how the MBP would perform running Windows in boot camp...to see if it still performs like this on the windows side. Could you do that for all of us?!
Macbook and final cut or xps and adobe premiere . What's your choice?
Definitely final cut hands down! Watch this
ruclips.net/video/FtSC1ocRbvA/видео.html
1:10 not necessarily :)since you can hackintosh the XPS ;)
This is one of the reasons I watch your videos Max. I have never understood why people say that you only focus on Apple products. Hackintosh videos Max??? Come on!!!
True, he doesn't focus on Apple products only, but just like on the XPS 9380 vs MBP 13", he just takes the only points where the McBook does better and... that's it.. the video is still very good but you know what I mean. It's Apple 200% and bashing every other competitor.
Thomas Chaudeyrac Oh, that’s one of the reasons I watch Max’s channels. I am pro Apple and like Windows 7/10. This is why, I wouldn’t like Him to be more neutral as well.
And, I will end with a thought. Maybe, Max believes he’s being being Neutral already?
@@WarriorsPhoto I think he is convinced about this, and I completely understand him. Why would you make videos about products you don't like more than the others ? He's making good work but from the outside you can definitely tell that he's subjective at 100%.. but I enjoyed watching the video whatever, I like both MacOs and Windows so..
Thomas Chaudeyrac All good points you’ve made yourself. Thank you for your input.
