I've traced the Dell XPS 15 laptop for basically being the best Windows laptop out there it's got this nice balance between portability and power but as per usual nothing's perfect so in this video we're taking a look at the main pros and cons of the new Dell XPS 15 95 16 I'll also make a full review video which will be done in a week or so so without any further ado let's get into the pros first and then move our way into the cons as always the XPS PCs are very well built the XPS gives seem even more so the carbon fiber is soft touch coated chassis is backed up by aluminum panels which both makes it look better and gives the laptop a nice sense of sturdiness the screen has no flex and the same goes with a great keyboard and therefore I genuinely think that the Dell XPS 15 is one of the best built laptops in the Windows market the one thing you've all been looking at though is that display with its tiny surrounding vessels it doesn't only look good they also let Dell shrink the device itself which made the XPS 15 one of these smallest 15-inch laptops out there display wise you've got two options either the 4k touch one or the 1080p non touch one and it both look great the 1080p display has a matte anti-glare coating on top of it and the 4k touch one has a piece of glass in front of it instead they're both IPS displays which means that color accuracy and viewing angles are on point but in terms of which one you should choose a lot you know soon the Dell XPS 15 is powerful the model I have is featuring the latest seventh gen Engler core i7 7700 HQ quad-core processor 16 gigs of fast ddr4 Ram and insanely quick 512 gig nvme SSD and is surprisingly powerful and vidya gtx 1050 dedicated graphics card the PC can do everything from basic tasks like browsing the web and watching high-res video to more demanding tasks like photo editing graphics design and 1080p video editing with ease if you like me someone who does creative work but also like to play games a little bit now and then the gtx 1050 GPU can easily games like csgo rocket League and overwatch at 1080p it can even handle battlefield 1 at 1080p with medium settings at around 50 fps so yes the Dell XPS 15 is very powerful for its size I also like the keyboard and trackpad on the XS 15 the keyboard has a decent tactile bump so you know when a key is pressed it's got a good layout with very useful quick toggles and switches like audio control screen brightness and more the trackpad is smooth and the gesture controls work as they should I like them both a lot and in my opinion they're the best on any Windows laptop out there in terms of inputs and outputs it's looking pretty good on the left side you have the charging port a full-size USB port HDMI USB type-c Thunderbolt 3 which can be used for various different things such as connecting a display and adapter worried doc like this one from count digit next to that is the headphone jack on the right side there's a Kensington lock a battery life indicator very useful another full-size USB port and a full size SD card reader looking good now let's talk about the displace again because depending on which one you get it will either be a pro or a con in my case it's a pro as I've got the low res 1080p model so what's the pro well battery lives on a 1080p model I got great battery life of around nine hours of browsing the web seven hours of video playback and around three hours of video editing very respectable if you've got a 4k display though you can expect an amazing display but with lesser battery life I'm not entirely sure as to how much you're losing but based on other reviews it's pretty bad as touched on before and as you can probably tell the laptop is very small and portable for the power it's got it weighs just over two kilos or 4.4 pounds and I mentioned wise it's smaller than most 15 inches out there thanks to the aforementioned bezels it's also quiet the sand doesn't spin at all when doing this normal daily tasks it does spin up however when using the laptop for more demanding tasks and even when it's at full speed it doesn't have that loud and high-toned whine which is what most people get annoyed by the fan is just there when it has to my last Pro in this video is the SSD which I touched on before as being insanely fast but that single sentence does not justify how great this SSD is rebooting booting turning off starting applications loading applications and data and so on is extremely quick and makes the XPS 15 feel more responsive and quick this SSD technology is definitely the future and you can expect to see it in many other flagship laptops moving forward so with their pricing out of the way let's talk about the not-so-good stuff first up the webcam it's bad the video nor the audio quality is good and the placement of the camera itself doesn't help in any way either if you're going to be attending video calls a lot this laptop might not be for you the speakers are also back there placed on the underside which muscles the already not-so-great sounding audio it's not like they're the worst speakers it's just that you can expect better sounding speakers of a laptop of this calibre this next con is a huge nitpick but also an easy sticks from downside take a look at this doesn't look very professional that's it come on Dell it's an easy fix just put some kind of noise or indents over there my last con is the price of the laptop itself it's great but definitely not cheap Dell themselves actually make a laptop with the same specs inside of a less premium and more thick package the Inspiron 15 75-67 and if you don't care about the keyboard trackpad and build it that much get that instead in conclusion however the pros of this fantastic laptop definitely outweighs its cons by a lot it's genuinely the best Windows laptop I've ever used and I can recommend it to anyone interested in a powerful yet sleek portable and well built laptop thanks for watching peace
