This is the best 7590 review I have seen and based on that I bought it. Keep it going Jideani and all the best to you and your family. Stay healthy and greetings from Germany.
Watching this on my XPS 7590. So far I upgraded it with a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB SSD and Crucial 32GB RAM and a DBrand skin all around. Loving the laptop so far!
Its the small things, such as the fact the OLED version you have does not have touchscreen. You can choose OLED with 400nits, or the touch 4k with 500 nits. There is no OLED touchscreen available from Dell.
Be aware that there are no color settings available for the Nvidia GTX1650. Dell premier color is NOT available for the Oled version. The intel driver does its work but totally no gamut controls available. Anyone that can help me get color settings for the GTX 1650 driver your help is welcome!! Dell has No idea...
Design-wise, this one looks much better than the 2020 one. Grey sandwiching black on all four sides is such a satisfying look. But I'm tempted to let it go for the 2020 one for the screen.
@@JideaniSayz Yes 2020 model is super sleek and looks more premium than this one. But this one has the weird sandwich feeling to it. It feels sooo wholesome! :D Which is why it's soo hard to let it go. I wish this body had the 2020 model's screen haha
Yeah.. I love that sandwich feel. It feels to refined and put together. Ultimately I couldn't hang on to it though. These laptops aren't made for power use.
@@JideaniSayz I got a desktop pc for gaming, so no worries there. I use the XPS laptop for school and work. I know I'm being stupid paying so much for the XPS but they friggin look awesome. And like you said that carbonfiber feeling on palms is addictive.
*Correction:* The Oled version of this laptop is NOT touch screen. You have to pay an extra $50 to upgrade to the IPS panel which is. If you like this laptop you may also like th-cam.com/video/llBTK9BYvGM/w-d-xo.html
@@miguelhuerta9873 I would go with that IPS just because tons of time I've found myself needing to touch the screen but oled has better contrast colors with deeper blacks. They both have the same refresh rate though I believe.
@@miguelhuerta9873 well I find myself a lot of times moving thoruhg the screen or scrolling through web pages, especially when you're in tight areas. Touch panels normally support pen use.
Hey, nice review but could you please try to be more specific on how you used the laptop to achieve such low battery life? F.e: brightness level, power option, what apps did you use(just browsing the web, editing videos, or both mixed, etc). Also, did you experience high battery consumption after you woke the laptop from sleep? Since last version 9570, Dell is using the new Modern Standby( a.k.a connected standby) which wakes the laptop very quick but consumes more power while it's sleeping.
Good stuff. Yeah as I mentioned in the video I keep my brightness on max and since I do video editing and view 4k content on TH-cam it took most of its toll on the battery. That's when I get about 3 hours but anything else like browsing the internet, word processing tasks, accessing files, etc. you'll get 4,maybe 5 hours tops before you hit 15%. The laptop does boot up fast but not noticeable faster than any other laptop with an ssd. That 4k display does a lot of the consumption.
These devices are designed with smart circuits to prevent battery damage due to the laptops being plugged up all the time, However I always unplug mine from time to time to keep the battery working. 🤷🏾♂️
Stay with the i7! The laptop's design doesn't satisfy a cooling solution that can handle the power of an i9. My laptop has an i9 (which I'll be releasing a review on soon) and it's really powerful but Gigabyte made sure to design it with multiple cooling vents.
Really the same way except you get much more battery life. I think brightness doesn't change as much either but a lot of people really can't tell the difference between 4k and 1080p screens. I prefer the sharper 4k screen.
How do you think it compares to the new dell xps 13 2 in 1? I know it doesn't have a dedicated graphics chip but the Ice lake processor seems to be very powerful (white interior also cool)
They're two totally different units. Dedicated graphics and processor power are the two main components that generate the most heat so its hard to compare them. 2 in 1's are built for power house users but there are always a few that can get the job done if you're talking some small 4k editing work like the ice lake processors. If you push it harder than that though you will run into throttling issues.
Alex it's pretty good with light usage that's the thing. Temps surge when you push it I noticed because I do video editing and utilizate a ton of 4k content. That's why I said it shouldn't be a big deal to most users.
Jideani Sayz I’m not sure if I should get the i7 instead, for cooler temperatures. Can you undervolt your cpu with „intel extreme tuning utility“ to about -100mv and do a temperature checkup for usage like browsing, videos with chrome?
@@alexmenz8215 I would get the i7 to be honest. They do better with thermals. The new i9's don't give you that much of a performance increase, unless you plan on getting a gaming laptop which should handle heat better I'd say a 9th Gen i7 processor with those 6 cores is the sweet spot. I don't really go into heat testing on my reviews, my videos are already long enough. Lol
Jideani Sayz A review suggests that the i9 runs cooler and faster under load. But I’m not sure about the temperatures with light usage. th-cam.com/video/Hh3rLDK9IkQ/w-d-xo.html
@@JideaniSayz I am really interested in this laptop, but my biggest concern is thermals, as a motion designer, I really want to make sure that it doesn't throttle, or at least doesn't throttle a lot to the point that it will become really slow, let's like when rendering a video or some other intensive task
Great review. I am switching from a basic mac to windows just because I need a high processor with a big screen size and these things are not cheap if I want to go with apple. however, I have been debating between HP Spectre x360 and the XPS 15 after watching both of your videos and your recommendation to go with XPS I will get the XPS since it's build quality is close to mac which makes me feel way better about XPS. But, do you think I should wait for the 10th gen or is it going to be almost the same as the 9th gen?
To be honest i would go with that 9th. The 9th gen were famous for being solid and very reliable. When the 10th gen came out they didn't show significant improvement. In some cases none at all. I dropped a link in the description for two models you can check out, they're both 9th gen.
But everything comes down to what type of work you're doing. I do video editing and work with a lot of 4k files so i went with the Gigabyte Aero because it offered me more juice with a cooling solution to ensure my laptop was fitted for the task. See that video here th-cam.com/video/llBTK9BYvGM/w-d-xo.html
@@JideaniSayz I do a little video editing and mainly day trading. So, basically what I need is a machine that can handle multitasking with a good display because I spend so many hours on my laptop. since you tried both HP x360 and Dell XPS do you find one of them overheats more than the other or basically the same. This is helping me a lot so thank you
They heat about the same really, considering they both use the same type of 6 core processor they both can handle the workload. I just think the XPS has a better screen due to it's more color accuracy and it's much brighter! better touchpad, better speakers and might be slightly quicker due to Dell's optimization strategy. They both have 4k touch displays so you're good there.
No worries. It's can be confusing especially considering that the lower number (7590) is actually the newer processor. But that's really it, it's a difference of processor. The 7590 is a new generation processor. It's 9th generation compared to the 9570's 8th gen. So you essential get a beefier brain that can span from lower end to higher clock speeds than the 9570.
I've had two of the oled versions of this XPS, one was to replace the original. Both have terrible thermals, pretty bad coil whine and made random squeaking noises. The display had issues too, looked amazing but every time I woke the laptops from sleep they would be around 30-40 brighter (brightness slider had not moved) than what I had set and there is no auto brightness available which I could disable. Getting a refund. 😣
Aww man. I didn't have those issues but I did notice auto brightness was erratic especially when coming out of sleep 🤔 sorry you had this experience. Good news is there are so many more capable laptops coming out now so you should have a list to pick from.
Alienware is great! I have a desktop R7. However, as far as a laptop goes...I am looking for battery life. A gaming laptop is going to eat up quite a bit of battery life. They are not known for going more than 2 to 3 hours on a full charge (and this is a generous estimate), so for me it is not worth it. Fancy laptop and all with globs of power, but being tethered to the wall is a deal-breaker for me. My 2016 Inspiron 15 inch model 5558 is ok, but as for the battery life, I cannot go 1 hour without needing to "plug up." Not happy with this. But on the plus side it does have the numeric keys. Can you think of a Dell (or other brands) that come built with at least a 15 inch touch screen, has lots of power, 16gb of ram, M.2 ssd for less than $1,200? And that has great battery life (at least 6 to 8 hours for me). I'd even take great battery life over the numeric key pad feature if I had to make a choice. I have heard of some of Dell's offerings in the 13 inch laptops, but that is too small for me. The 15 inch is perfect and the 17 inch is a boat anchor. I'd look for one used on eBay to get it for a better price.
If your focus on battery there are certainly a few that would do the trick. One that comes to mind is the LG Gram. Also keep in mind the more powerful the laptop the more impact on battery so it depends on what you'll be doing with it.
Hi Jideani. I really like the review, good job! I’m about to buy this laptop but still can’t decide between this and ACER Predator Triton 500 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel® Core™ i7, RTX 2060, 512 GB SSD. I’ll use it for video editing and graphic design not for games. Can you advise which one to choose please?
Oh you have to wait for the new Dell XPS 15/17, they will be leaps ahead in terms of design and capability. Especially considering the new placement of the speakers. For professional use, Dell's Precision line has better quality control and chipsets (basically an optimised version of the XPS line) do you might want to look into that.
I would lean towards the Acer Predator but better yet get the Gigabyte Aero 15, i did a review on the 17" version here. It's actually the one i'm using now since i do 4k video editing. th-cam.com/video/llBTK9BYvGM/w-d-xo.html The problem is historically laptops only catered to two type of audiences, Business/Education and Gamers. You were stuck between picking a laptop that wasn't powerful enough to do the type of work you're accustomed to and laptops that were over the top with specs and expensive. But now i think we're seeing a whole new audience segment for content creators so there are a few laptops in this category for people like you. Be sure to use one of my referral links or for whatever laptop you decide to get so i can get a link for you, thanks for the support. 🙂
would love to know about the fan noise while working on something heavy like video production. As i work on music and recording my laptop fans are so loud. Subscribe-worthy content ❤️
Anyone that tells me they need a laptop for gaming or content creation I "prefer" to recommend non traditional laptops. This would include most of Dell, HP, Chrome book and any other thin styled laptops. See my review regarding this on this video th-cam.com/video/llBTK9BYvGM/w-d-xo.html However, this is a 6 core processor laptop so you should be fine, just keep in mind editing and heavy performance applications can push it to the brink. In my use the fan noise was average, nothing special.
Here is my experience with the Dell XPS 15. My new XPS 15 has been shipped to the Dell Repair facility once again (2nd time) on 9/27. I have NEVER been able to use the Dell XPS 15 for work due to the setup, diagnosis, trouble shooting, time lost while in transit to Dell, time lost while being repaired by Dell. Dell has not delivered an XPS 15 to me as advertised and purchase on the Dell online store in March 2019. Currently, my XPS 15 is missing these key advertised features: 1. Fingerprint Scanner 2. CPU Cooling Fan 3. Functioning Security Login (PIN/Password/Fingerprint Options) 4. SD Card Reader Functionality. Dell has not delivered Warranty Services as advertised and purchased in March 2019. Dell has been give 6 months to provide warranty services. I have personally spent over 50 hours baby sitting Dell support teams to diagnose/repair the system. My personal billing rate is $175/hour of which Dell has made no effort to provide reasonable compensation. The system has never been serviced properly even though it has been shipped to the Dell repair center two times. The system has been diagnosed by Dell with a failed SD Card Reader, a failed motherboard and a failed CPU cooling fan. I have personally diagnosed the XPS 15 with an "unrecognized fingerprint reader" Dell is fallen hard and now delivers issue ridden products and horrible customer service.
@@d95mback Duh. What do you think I am typing on. My new Zenbook 15. This is the replacement to my 8 year old Asus ROG laptop (now my backup laptop) that is lighter, portable and powerful. But, to your statement "chip on my shoulder", it seems like you would the kind of guy to just let someone reach in your pocket and steal $1600 of your hard earned dollars and not fight back. I have principals. One of them is never let a thief steal your money without fighting back. In this case, I did not let Dell steal my hard earned dollars. I now have my full refund in my bank account and I feel much better about having justice served to Dell :)
Thanks for all the good information. Rally like the xps style inside and outside. 99.9% sure the dell is for me! But wait let me go and do your HP review.
i am a student. i do lots of note writing. which laptop among hp spectre or dell xps 15 will be suitable for note writing. i want pen support with smooth writing.
I got one of these. Just less than a month later it started freezing. A couple days later I had time to run the self diagnostics. They showed memory errors which I followed the instructions to report. It seemed a case was open and I was instructed to wait for contact. But the next business day I called anyway and was informed nothing would have progressed on that case so a new one was opened. One bank of memory and motherboard were replaced under basic warranty. But the tech could not get self discs running. After many calls and lots of promises it is almost a month later and parts for fixing it are still not available. Basic one day onsite service is a joke. This laptop can not keep itself cool. Stay away from it. I just do a mix of things and no games. I have had great service from my old Dell L502X. No refund was allowed because I did not request it before the 30 day return period. There is a good reason so many used units are on eBay. Avoid this laptop.
2019 XPS-15 9570 Dealbreaker!!! I bought a new XPS-15 9570. After using it for a little while, the cursor started erratically jumping around the screen, selecting cells in spreadsheets at random, change selection areas while using the mouse, etc. The problem was intermittent and made the machine virtually unusable. It tried everything I could think of, took it back for service, they had no solution. I did some searching on “Erratic Cursor Movement” and found a post on the Dell community about it. See link and note below. www.dell.com/community/XPS/XPS-15-9575-cursor-jumping-to-same-spot/td-p/7252690 “The issue for me ended up being the HID-compliant pen driver. I noticed that the "pen cursor" would sometimes flash on the screen briefly in the spot my cursor kept jumping to. Once I disabled the pen driver my issue hasn't recurred since. There must be some sort of driver conflict that's causing the pen to activate on its own causing the cursor to jump around.” I didn’t know the random symbol I was seeing on the screen was a Pen Cursor since I don’t use one. Disabling the driver solved the problem. Just go into the Control Panel | Hardware and Sound, select Device Manager, right-click on HID compliant PEN and disable the driver. Problem solved!!! No Pen available now but I don’t use one anyway and I can use this computer without any problems. This was beyond frustrating and I was ready to give it back if they would take or else eat the loss and get a different machine. I hope this helps somebody with a similar problem. Interestingly, Dell seems to have closed that thread so I can’t add or reply to any comments but that sure solved my problem.
Wrong--I've had my XPS 15 for less than a week, and have used it over 50 times already! It's nice to not have to boot up the laptop just to know how much battery is remaining.
i love your style- " small thing"

Oh you have to wait for the new Dell XPS 15/17, they will be leaps ahead in terms of design and capability. Especially considering the new placement of the speakers.
For professional use, Dell's Precision line has better quality control and chipsets (basically an optimised version of the XPS line) do you might want to look into that.
I would lean towards the Acer Predator but better yet get the Gigabyte Aero 15, i did a review on the 17" version here. It's actually the one i'm using now since i do 4k video editing. th-cam.com/video/llBTK9BYvGM/w-d-xo.html
The problem is historically laptops only catered to two type of audiences, Business/Education and Gamers. You were stuck between picking a laptop that wasn't powerful enough to do the type of work you're accustomed to and laptops that were over the top with specs and expensive. But now i think we're seeing a whole new audience segment for content creators so there are a few laptops in this category for people like you. Be sure to use one of my referral links or for whatever laptop you decide to get so i can get a link for you, thanks for the support. 🙂
So what did you decide?
Jideani Sayz thank you very much for your reply Jideani! Tbh I think I’ll wait till new XPS will come out. Thanks for your help!
E :3 thanks mate! I’ll wait for it then.
would love to know about the fan noise while working on something heavy like video production. As i work on music and recording my laptop fans are so loud. Subscribe-worthy content ❤️
Anyone that tells me they need a laptop for gaming or content creation I "prefer" to recommend non traditional laptops. This would include most of Dell, HP, Chrome book and any other thin styled laptops. See my review regarding this on this video th-cam.com/video/llBTK9BYvGM/w-d-xo.html However, this is a 6 core processor laptop so you should be fine, just keep in mind editing and heavy performance applications can push it to the brink. In my use the fan noise was average, nothing special.
Here is my experience with the Dell XPS 15. My new XPS 15 has been shipped to the Dell Repair facility once again (2nd time) on 9/27. I have NEVER been able to use the Dell XPS 15 for work due to the setup, diagnosis, trouble shooting, time lost while in transit to Dell, time lost while being repaired by Dell.
Dell has not delivered an XPS 15 to me as advertised and purchase on the Dell online store in March 2019. Currently, my XPS 15 is missing these key advertised features:
1. Fingerprint Scanner
2. CPU Cooling Fan
3. Functioning Security Login (PIN/Password/Fingerprint Options)
4. SD Card Reader Functionality.
Dell has not delivered Warranty Services as advertised and purchased in March 2019.
Dell has been give 6 months to provide warranty services.
I have personally spent over 50 hours baby sitting Dell support teams to diagnose/repair the system.
My personal billing rate is $175/hour of which Dell has made no effort to provide reasonable compensation.
The system has never been serviced properly even though it has been shipped to the Dell repair center two times.
The system has been diagnosed by Dell with a failed SD Card Reader, a failed motherboard and a failed CPU cooling fan.
I have personally diagnosed the XPS 15 with an "unrecognized fingerprint reader"
Dell is fallen hard and now delivers issue ridden products and horrible customer service.
🤔 That's unfortunate. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Let me know if you would like for me to recommend an alternative laptop.
@@JideaniSayz please do. Lightweight 4k video editor with long Battery life
If you bill $175 per hour, just buy another laptop and be done with it. Seems like you have a big chip on your shoulder.
@@d95mback Duh. What do you think I am typing on. My new Zenbook 15. This is the replacement to my 8 year old Asus ROG laptop (now my backup laptop) that is lighter, portable and powerful. But, to your statement "chip on my shoulder", it seems like you would the kind of guy to just let someone reach in your pocket and steal $1600 of your hard earned dollars and not fight back. I have principals. One of them is never let a thief steal your money without fighting back. In this case, I did not let Dell steal my hard earned dollars. I now have my full refund in my bank account and I feel much better about having justice served to Dell :)
@@JideaniSayz Bought a Zenbook 15 i7. It is great. Got my refund after returning from Italy. Justice was served to Dell.
the small things
👌🏾
The oled version is not touch
You're absolutely right! The IPS version is the one that's touch and you have to pay an extra $50 to upgrade to it. Nice catch.
@@JideaniSayz Wich one is better?
I went with the touch. 😃
Thanks for all the good information. Rally like the xps style inside and outside. 99.9% sure the dell is for me! But wait let me go and do your HP review.
i could hear Blink 182 in my head throughout the video
Lol why is that?
@@JideaniSayz oh, just kept bringing up the lyrics to All The Small Things th-cam.com/video/9Ht5RZpzPqw/w-d-xo.html
i am a student. i do lots of note writing. which laptop among hp spectre or dell xps 15 will be suitable for note writing. i want pen support with smooth writing.
I would go with the Xps 2 in 1
Surface pro 7 or a surface pro x
Surface pro series or surface book 2 for best and more productivity
Great review boss. Love the vocabulary, you sound knowledgeable without the geek-squad lingo often seen in other videos.
Looool, 🙏🏾
It's 4 times better than my last laptop. At 4 times the price!
Lol so do you think it's worth the price?
I got one of these. Just less than a month later it started freezing. A couple days later I had time to run the self diagnostics. They showed memory errors which I followed the instructions to report. It seemed a case was open and I was instructed to wait for contact. But the next business day I called anyway and was informed nothing would have progressed on that case so a new one was opened. One bank of memory and motherboard were replaced under basic warranty. But the tech could not get self discs running. After many calls and lots of promises it is almost a month later and parts for fixing it are still not available. Basic one day onsite service is a joke. This laptop can not keep itself cool. Stay away from it. I just do a mix of things and no games. I have had great service from my old Dell L502X. No refund was allowed because I did not request it before the 30 day return period. There is a good reason so many used units are on eBay. Avoid this laptop.
2019 XPS-15 9570 Dealbreaker!!!
I bought a new XPS-15 9570.
After using it for a little while, the cursor started erratically jumping
around the screen, selecting cells in spreadsheets at random, change selection
areas while using the mouse, etc. The problem
was intermittent and made the machine virtually unusable. It tried everything I could think of, took it
back for service, they had no solution.
I did some searching on “Erratic Cursor Movement” and found
a post on the Dell community about it.
See link and note below.
www.dell.com/community/XPS/XPS-15-9575-cursor-jumping-to-same-spot/td-p/7252690
“The issue for me ended up being the HID-compliant pen
driver. I noticed that the "pen cursor" would sometimes flash on the
screen briefly in the spot my cursor kept jumping to. Once I disabled the pen
driver my issue hasn't recurred since. There must be some sort of driver
conflict that's causing the pen to activate on its own causing the cursor to
jump around.”
I didn’t know the random symbol I was seeing on the screen
was a Pen Cursor since I don’t use one.
Disabling the driver solved the problem.
Just go into the Control Panel | Hardware and Sound, select Device Manager, right-click on HID compliant
PEN and disable the driver. Problem
solved!!!
No Pen available now but I don’t use one anyway and I can
use this computer without any problems.
This was beyond frustrating and I was ready to give it back
if they would take or else eat the loss and get a different machine. I hope this helps somebody with a similar
problem.
Interestingly, Dell seems to have closed that thread so I
can’t add or reply to any comments but that sure solved my problem.
Nice review the background music is a bit loud and annoying though.
Really? I actually thought I had it turned down low enough lol. I'll do better. Thanks for the constructive feedback.
idk what this guy was complaining about in the first 5 min...
Me either.
OMG , this guy loves the sound of his voice_BORED!!
Ahhh my very first "type" of these comments. I knew I'd get one at some point. It's not as bad as people say, this actually doesn't bother me lol.
The side battery indicator is just dumb. Nobody will use that.
Wrong--I've had my XPS 15 for less than a week, and have used it over 50 times already! It's nice to not have to boot up the laptop just to know how much battery is remaining.
I certainly will when mine ships.
