Dell XPS 15 9550 - What you need to know (Pros & Cons)

2016-05-24
yo what's up guys so we're back with another video and today we're taking a look at the Dell XPS 15 and before we get into it I do want to say that I am sick right now so my voice may be sounding a little bit weird but that's not going to stop me from making videos so let's get right into it so the device that I have features and i-5 8 gigs of ram a one terabyte sshd and the full HD non-touch display on the left hand side you will find a charging port a USB port an HDMI port a USB type-c port and a headphone jack on the other side you will find a Kensington lock a power indicator a USB port and an SD card reader so alright let's get into the pros so first up the display the XPS 15 has a beautiful display called the Infinity display there's practically no vessels and you can configure it with different options the one that I have right here is the less expensive Full HD non-touch version but there's also a 4k touch option and both look amazing build quality the build quality in the XPS lineup is one of the best in Windows based machines it's really close to being as good as the Macs are in this department too it's made out of aluminum on the outside and soft touch coded carbon fiber on the inside it looks really clean and professional although the carbon fiber do attract finger prints which is a little bit annoying the displays hinges are also pretty stiff so you can't open the laptop with one hand but other than that the build of the XPS 15 is very sturdy and premium alright next up this size the XPS 15 is a small laptop for being 15 inches it's 5 percent smaller and 13 percent lighter than the MacBook Pro 15 the touchpad the exbest 15 has a glass touchpad that works phenomenally you can two finger scroll and zoom and do all of those handy gestures with it I'd say it's just as good as the Mac books are all right next up perform the x-15 is a powerhouse you can equip it with an i7 16 gigs of ram a 4k touch display one terabyte of SSD storage and 960m graphics but that's expensive so how does my mid range version hold up surprisingly well it ran through Windows and browsing smoothly and washing 4k video was not laggy but how does it work with more power-hungry tasks playing games on the CPU worked surprisingly well it's not a gtx 1080 but if your lower the graphics too low and played on 1080p you got about 30 to 65 FPS that meaning in less intensive games like csgo rocket League and League of Legends it's not going to run the latest triple-a titles on max and 4k so it's not a gaming machine alright let's take a look at some of the cons the webcam DX based laptops have their webcams on the lower part of the display not on top like on normal laptop so the view really sucks and you can't have a normal conversation with this thing the better life the better life in the XPS 15 is nothing to be excited about I mean it's decent but not groundbreaking the full HD has much better battery life than the 4k touch option so if you're looking for a good battery life look elsewhere or by the Full HD non-touch version you will see yourself charging this thing a lot next up finger prints the XPS 15 may be super sleek and feel premium but it still attracts finger prints especially on the carbon fiber so your $1000 plus device will not look that new for any longer than a week or two if we compare this to the MacBook it's night and day the MacBook is crafted by aluminium and aluminium only so if you get fingerprints you can just wipe it off very easily but that's not the case with the XPS 15 all right next up price the Xbox 50 may not be the most affordable laptop and if you're all about specification you can find much better options alright so those were my main gripes and here's a small conclusion the exbest 15 is not for everyone if you are a gamer look elsewhere if you're a business guy get this model version if you're on a smaller budget look elsewhere so who is this laptop really for I'd say anyone who can really appreciate the great build quality and performance so if you felt like this video was too short and didn't cover everything please check out the XPS 13 review that I made these two laptops are practically the same so that one video will do the job just fine thanks for watching make sure to follow me on social media the links are down below and I'll see you guys in the next one peace
