Delta what was arguably a best-in-class 15 inch notebook and made it even better the XPS 15 retains the lines terrific screen premium builds felt design and full feature set then it boosts it for 2017 with the latest processors from Intel and NVIDIA and I think the result blows the MacBook Pro out of the water for photo and graphics work as well as gaming the system is one of the first laptops to incorporate in videos newest notebook graphics processor the GTX 1050 the 1050 is the lowest end model in invidious new notebook line to incorporate its current Pascal architecture in addition to giving the system pretty solid gaming performance it's also improved battery optimization you'll probably want to play at HD rather than 4k for faster on-the-fly rendering and performance though games really look good in 4k the system's traditional WorkFirst design isn't great for dedicated gamers and laptops with the 1060 TI will deliver better performance but it's a great general-purpose system that should also satisfy you if you occasionally feel the need to kill demons battery life at least with the 97 watt hour cell is pretty good at seven plus hours streaming video if you're like me and run it full throttle even on battery for games and design work you'll probably get closer to four hours well there's tons I like about the system the one serious design flaw remains the webcam is at the bottom left of the display that's the trade-off for the attractively thin bezel but it's a real pain and it's probably why Dell incorporated a fingerprint sensor for Windows hello instead of facial recognition the system also vents out the bottom so it can get kind of hot where there isn't a lot of airflow such as sitting on a desk and the intermittent fan spin up is kind of loud too
