Great review. I got ample of information which I was looking for on this product. Thank you for updating us. I really apprecaite your hard work and efforts.
Thanks for this review. My work supplied laptop is a Dell Latitude and it does a perfectly competent job. I have other preferences for a high powered laptop.
If you undervolt and apply new thermal paste I think it might help the thermals
How is the useable battery life compared to an equivalent MacBook pro? I have a gaming laptop with a 12800H and even under light-ish computing tasks, the quick spikes in performance really kill the battery life. In the real world, the M1 Pro 16" MacBook pro I use for work gets more than double the battery life of my 2022 Blade 15 (i7, 3080ti) I have as my personal laptop.
They also need to upgrade the audio quality too. The Macbook 16 should be their internal benchmark.
I have an XPS Laptop from 2010. The best thing about it is the sound and speakers. It also has DVD drive, ethernet port, HDMI and 3 usb slots. It does get hot at times and one of these days, it's going to die. Mostly, I will miss the sound quality as I have a Dell inspiron about 5 years old that had lousy sound to begin with and now one of the speakers is not working. I also have a Lenovo Legion with lousy sound and difficulty getting all my Sample Tank stuff to work in it. So I was wondering how good or bad the sound is on the 2023 XPS 15 as I was thinking of getting a new one?
Got a best buy open box special for a little under 1000 and am super happy with it.
After 3 years i can say that thing is amazing! works like the first day.
In the UK, I was looking to get the latest XPS - but I’d only want a UHD screen. Why has Dell released it without having the UHD screen option yet? Daft.
Honestly, a must-do for these laptops is to open them up and repaste them with a high-quality thermal paste. You can also upgrade the thermal pads or use TG-PP10 for any chiplets for a little extra performance. Honeywell PTM7950 is also an option.
The stock application of paste oftentimes sucks, so this should help with idle temps, fan ramping, and frequency drops at peak.
I had to replace the motherboard for the 9560(2017 model bought in 2018) in summer 2020 because the cpu got fried, the service technician said the thermal paste job was really bad when he was fixing it.
"a must-do for a high dollar laptop is immediately void the warranty to improve their usability"
Unfortunate truth
Can you make or is there a video on how to do this on a laptop?
Imagine paying 2k on a laptop you have to upgrade the thermal system on lol
I still have no idea why they didn't add a vapor chamber and improve the thermals after THREE YEARS smh
Yep. My blade 15 (2022 advanced) has a vapor chamber and the overall weight is within a rounding error of the 16" MacBook pro I use for work. Intel and NVIDA hardware needs top tier cooling and if you are spending that much money on the computer, it should be able to get as much performance as possible out of the hardware.
I know right 😮
Also its so sad how little effort they put in these bank breaking machines
Cause Dell will not cheat normal consumers. LOL
and the display with 60hz
@@slak226 Nothing wrong with 60Hz. I'd rather have a gorgeous, bright, color-accurate display at 60Hz anyway. I don't need that slightly smoother scrolling experience.
I miss the drone videos you used to do, any plans to review any of the new drones that have come out?
I just bought the DJI Mini 3 Pro and the first thing I did was look to see if you did a video about it.
I have the 2022 xps 17 and I used liquid metal and undervolting and heat is well controlled.
Hello! Which Windows computer would you recommend for a Mechanical Engineering student? 😊❤Thanks!
Any suggestion on the 12th Gen Intel CPU vs 13th Gen? I currently have an XPS 17" i9 12th Gen and looking for a recommendation for colleague.
great video but does it have finger print reader?
And just curious, got any suggestions for a cheaper Dell alternative where function matters more?
I have a question: can you remap Home/End buttons back to left/right in the BIOS? Seems Dell did this for some their laptop. With old XPS 15 it was easy to jump to beginning/ending of the line. But this F11/Home is no go for me....
Need to do video editing though not extremely intense editing so was considering this especially as I really need a 3.5mm jack. Would it help if I put a cooling fan under?
Actually I WAS seriously considering the XPS 15! I was going back and forth between it and the HP Z-Book Fury 16. I think you just made up my mind for me. Thanks!
"who are you, the cops?!" 😂😂 Thanks for the review! I'm looking into upgrading my Surface Pro 8, so this is on the table or the new Surface Pro coming in September.
I have an XPS 15 i7 and the overheating on this thing is ridiculous. I am typing on it right now and the fans audible just from watching this video and my finger tips are warm from the heat generated by the laptop. The promise of the long battery life is joke really, because the constant overheating kills it. I can get maybe 3-4 hours out of it assuming I'm not editing, then it's more like... 2? I never edit without it plugged in as a result. The actual editing performance is good, screen colour accuracy is great and the portability factor has been great as I've been travelling - although the webcam is terrible so not so good for zoom calls. The SD slot is super useful, glad for the headphone jack. If this laptop could figure out the heating issue and consequently the battery problem, this laptop would be a fantastic buy
photo or video editing?
You can't game on this the frame spikes from throttling are insane. Especially since there is a insulation layer on the motherboard leading to more throttling.
damn that display looks amazing
i agree, i own 11th gen one and xps 15 thermal management sucks big time. it doesnt even matter upgrading cpu if its gonna be throttled all the time.
It's good for graphic design? I'm looking at options and I don't want something extremely expensive.
XPS 17" 9730 not yet out? not yet seen a single review anywhere so far! eager for that! @The Everyday Dad, can you do a max spec review for xps 9730 when its out?
Been really debating on picking one up. Helped me make a decision
isn' it possible to just switch off some of the cores to solve the thermal problems. I know: it's a weird solution but at least you wouldn't have to hear the fans all the time... Or can this be accomplished by reducing the wattage?
Hello, amazing reviews, following you since several years about Dell XPS reviews. I keep in mind everything you said about this years"s XPS 15 model, however i still can not decide which one to choose. 15 or 17.. I am an IT Expert, want a laptop XPS build, with big screen but not full HD, however 15 OLED look better but not enough big. Want to play1080p res casual not new games like Age of Empires 4, Flight Sim, Football Manager, RDD 2, Division 2. Only worrying about heating and size, My heart says 15 OLED, what would you suggest ? Your opininon will be my decision
Looks like the chassis is completely unchanged from the one I bought in 2016. Word of caution - after about 3 years of usage, my laptop developed a hinge problem which caused the keyboard cover to lift at the back when opening. It also struggled to stay cool when gaming (mine was an i7) and the edges really start to dig in to your wrists when typing for any significant length of time. I'd recommend this laptop for casual use only.
I have a question, is the xps 15 better than the Microsoft surface laptop studio 2 when it comes to battery life🔋 or do they both fall 👎🏽
I would like to ask you about this Xps 15 touch screen. I do digital painting using Photoshop so is it easy to use a pen with the screen for that, please?
I am shopping around for a new Dell laptop for trading stock options, cyber-security, and xbox cloud. I do like the look of the XPS 15, but not sure yet if I want to buy one.
Love the XPS but would like Dell to make an XPS 15 “Pro” version. Make it a tad thicker, give it proper cooling (vapor chamber?) and maybe some legacy ports like USB-A and HDMI. I think it would be extremely successful!
I'd also love to see AMD cpus in these computers. The new Intel chips are fast but boy do they run hot. I'd be willing to bet that in the same thermal limit, an AMD processor would be both faster and allow the computer to get better battery life.
That would be the XPS 17 for ya ig
HAHAH XPS is supposed to be Pro! thats why it costs more then macbook pro but is much slower and MUUUCH hotter. its rediculus. no one should buy these
@@LuciousKage From 2017 - 2019, the XPS actually was relatively well cooled, had decent ports, got great battery life, and was still light and well made. The new design is more aesthetically pleasing but in every other way, it was a MASSIVE step backwards.
@@Piketom1 I remember when dell quietly release update for BIOS that on purpose crippled CPU so to solve heating complains. that was the last straw for me
i have actually really been interested in the i9 processor model. I'm not a gamer but having the better processor will definitely be helpful for school. I have to open many SPSS files so while not graphic intensive, it does use lots of power and want it to be snappier and it doesn't seem like the thermal problems should be that bad at least for me as a student. Although the i7 sounds good too
@@darrinito hahaha i’ve just started using PSPP, but i don’t mind SPSS, i only use it because my university insists on it. But the UI is very outdated feels like i’m using an app on Windows 7 😂
Ove bought 3 versions of the Dell xps 15, and had 2 of them replaced for coil whine (high pitched whine sound), and they’ve all had issues with thermals or otherwise. Maybe I was just unlucky.
used to love this laptop!
How long is the battery life dude
Is it a high refresh rate screen?
the HP envy 16 is so good! it has a vapor chamber cooling with very similar specs and huge vents in the bottom. and with the same H series processor.
Yes, but the price... ouch!
On the fence about the envy 16 and I can't find any reviews for the 2023 model. Does it get hot and how long is the battery life?
@@daveyhu actually it doesn't get hot at all, it stays cool as long as the bottom vent isn't completely blocked off and even then its cool if you're browsing. its cool all the time. the battery lasts a few hours but thats probably the downfall since its so powerful and has the i7 H processors with the 4K OLED screen (thats the one i have). if you pick the lesser screen and the lesser processor it will definetly last longer. I think it relatively does last a whole day's worth of usage. over 6 hours maybe? but its supposed to be a powerhouse laptop so it wont be 15 hours like a macbook or something. The onlytime its slightly warm is from the charger since its 200 watts. which is a lot. but its never hot.
@@TheAngelChristineI'm considering the new 2023 model, saw that now it has a 120hz oled option. Do you have de 4060 model by any chance? How's the graphics performance?
@@francoisgagnon4467 its less than 2000$ so not too bad! i think mine was 1900$ for the i7, 2 terabytes, windows pro, 4k OLED, dedicated nvidia graphics. 32GB of ram.
Which brand OEM for NVMe SSD does Dell use for this XPS machine
I have an XPS 15 9500 and i was considering upgrading to this 2023 model, but since the GPU its power limited, i dont see a point to upgrade. I was even considering changing to Razer
Give Ur old one for me if u have changed 😂but serious.
They have had issues with hinges for YEARSSSS. I have a Dell XPS 15 9570 (2018). Hinge has been creaking since day 1. The left top part of the keyboard next to the hinge broke a year ago. I can still fold and close the lid but it makes a cracking sound every time lmao. Dell what are you doinggggg
I'm setting mine up now, is it supposed to take so long to boot up for the first time? it hasn't turned on after charging for about 45 minutes. Is this normal?
I was thinking of getting myself a dell 15 13 gen i9, but wasn't totally convinced, so I'm debating with myself to either get dell xps 17 13 gen i9, or just go for book 3 aultra i9
If you want your laptop to stay at home 🏡, the 17 inch is great. Better build quality and less heat issue than the 15-inch.
However, most 16-inch+ laptops have better heat management.
Creeky hinge fix: expose the metal hinge and put a little olive oil on it. Worked a dream for me.
My only deal-breaker is that the headphone jack is on the right side. The cord gets in the way of the mouse for right handed people
Did they solve the hinge problem?
I have the creaking hinge too. I returned it and got another and it had a creaking hinge too.
Mine too. I have hp 15
Where do you plug a microphone into this??
why are you not reviewing the new xps 17?
You really should look at the HP Envy 16 with the 2560x1600 display, 4060 dedicated gpu. The only two drawbacks are the non-full size SD card slot, and the keyboard white/clear numbers/letters. Build quality matches the XPS. I have an i9, play games...and I've NEVER had my fans come on. I paid (with the upgrade to 32gb I did...at total of $1599 for the device...which matches what you got with the Dell...except the 4070 (which is overkill for laptop gaming imo)
Thank you for this recommendation lol it’s everything I’m looking for
Hi there. I'm on the fence about this laptop and the new M2 15 MBA. I have both specd out similarly with 16g ram and 512g of storage. Xps comes in just north of 100 more. I use a precision 5670 for work and I can't stand the heat and poor batt life. For those reasons I am thinking of switching to apple. This would be my personal system used mainly for photo editing, light video editing, education content and python coding. Would you recommend this xps over the new apple 15 MBA?
TIA.
Great channel BTW!
he only wants your watch time for money. he is not here to help you.
u consider MB over xps because in MBA doesn't get heat and ur getting good battery life with high performance. I think mb is good.
I am really happy with my xps 15 9520, I had the same problem with hinges, but fortunately, with my warranty in Italy, the assistant fortunately came to my home and changed my whole lcd because the hinges are welded to the monitor. Now they sound great!
I only can not understand why there is NO protective cover for this model in the EU😢😢😢😢😢. I take care of these high-end pricey devices. Now, I bought a trackpad protection film, but I didn't find protective shells😢.
Hi, how s Ur product so far? And can u game on it? I mean it has gaming lap spec but not calling them gaming laptop.
@TheRealCJl Personally, as a mechanical engineer student, unfortunately, I don't have enough time for gaming😅 and usually, when I want to play, I use Xbox. At last, as I heard, it's better NOT to game on these laptops.
I'm going to buy this toy (i7) for my daughter that's beginning Architecture university and I hope she can use it for all the uni time. I've already bought the 13" 4 years ago for another kid for Law studies, it is still amazing. Do you think that this time worth it?
envy 16 is a better option
Ya this review has basically confirmed my decision to skip the XPS ... again! I've got the 9500 and have found no reason to upgrade to the 9530, beside the power their cooling solution makes useless to run. Such a shame, for an otherwise sexy-looking machine. What other laptop would you suggest? Currently considering the Thinkpad Z16 Gen 1.
UPDATE: So I bit the bullet and got the 9530! Nothing else compared FOR A MACHINE CORPORATE WAS WILLING TO SUBSIDIZE. (Sorry for the caps but I know other devices compare.) In any case, I was really impressed with mine. This thing is a beast. I have the same specs as The Everyday Dad, although I did upgrade the DDR5 and SSD. All my bad experiences with Dell (so far! ... fingers crossed) went out the window after setting it up. I even like the FHD, although at this price it should include the OLED by default. I mean come on, it costs exactly as much in CAD as my 16" M1 Pro, which is mini LED (!) and has much better battery life, energy effeciency, and speakers! By the way, Everyday Dad, it's not just your unit whose hinge creaks! LOL It may be that the hinge is so tight to avoid the hinge problem of prior iterations? The lid of my 9500, for instance, used to open when I carried it like a book. Friggen Dell!

@@juicewrld-fq5fd yes, that was up there on my list as well but for some odd reason my company doesn’t work with Samsung.
i have the xps 15 9500 from 2020 and yes it is an amazing machine. but as you well said, mine is i7 and thermal issue is annoying me. i mean i literally can't use it on my lap because it gets hot. and don't even mention the cooling when laptop is plugged in. it gets really hot and fans barely meet the needs. i hope the cooling gets better. other than that, my next laptop will definitely be a MAC.
also, any suggestion to help me cool down my laptop while plugged in?
Your xps become more sluggish after 3 years?
I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm actually watching this video because I finally just got approved to get my XPS 15 9500 replaced with a 9530 after endless issues. The 9500 would heat up while in my bag, draining the battery and frying my motherboard. Was really hoping they'd have fixed the issue but it seems not.
Agreed I'm saving up for a MBP M3 Pro!
Oh and as for suggestions, I can only say try using a laptop stand, you can get some that have built in fans and can sit on your lap!
i hope dell will make a good dell xps 15 plus in 2024... or a MacBook pro m3 max 16?
I have an older XPS built on the same framework and its thermal performance has become my bane when working. I have already replaced one fan that got too loud (like five times its usual loudness). I do some video and voice work and spend a lot of time masking out the laptop's annoying fan noise. I need an upgrade now and want to consider the new XPS - hence why I'm watching this) but, sigh... the thermal performance just isn't working for me.. and now its seems Dell still have not addressed it.
Great stuff as always. Any chance you might do a comparison video, or at least make a few comments here, about the new Dell 17" XPS 9730 with the gen 13 i7 versus the new 16" Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro or Pro 360 or even Ultra with the gen 13 i7? You have to pay a lot more for the Dell, but that 17" screen in a near 15" form factor is just so desirable despite it only going up to a 60Hz refresh rate that I am tempted to pay the extra money for the Dell, though I might get the FHD+ instead of the 4k screen option to save some money and get a little better battery life. Also, it seems I could now get the earlier xps 9720 with the gen 12 i7 chip at a comparable price to the above referenced new 16" Book3's, but I have to imagine the newer gen13 i7 chip offers some advantages over the older gen 12 i7, maybe, hopefully, including running cooler and have a longer lasting battery?
Here's the thing: Dell actually has a really decent warranty. Yes, their chat service leaves a lot to be desired (AKA, it sucks), but you get a next-day or two-day service warranty option with these laptops. Once you've finagled your way through their textbook questions, you can have your computer fixed within a couple of days.
Try that with Samsung. Spoiler alert: good luck.
@@rustler08 Good input. Thanks. Know anything about c/s by Samsung?
I own the 9560 4K Core I7 770HQ and the thermal issue is really annoying, I suspect this update will be worse with the overheating.
Sounds like you got a healthy dose of Dells Shaftsbury pie well done did you enjoy the taste of pipe ?
I purchased it, i9, 64gb , rtx 4070, 2TB nvme.
I just ordered this one with 32 gb ram, 4070 graphics, 2T ssd, and Oled. was $2792 it is on the way. I am sure it will work well for me and video editing.
How is it today?
@@alexcharlton9010 it is great still! love it
I was thinking of buying the xps 15 with i7 processor for personal work but the heating issue made me throw the idea out of the window. 2 years ago I had a similar issue with the Inspiron 15 plus laptops, the heating was so burning as if my fingers were on a hot pan. Man if dell could do something of the heating issues. I love dell laptops but these minor things give such major problems that makes the end user change their mind about instantly buying them.
currently looking for a new laptop to replace my inspiron 15, its been 3 years and now it cant handle frontend and backend at the same time. Want to buy a xps 15 but i guess it will be the same scenario
@bartusc4926 It honestly seems like the best option for this quality of PC is to just buy a desktop instead. But I unfortunately am a student working towards a masters degree in cybersecurity and I need the portability and power. A desktop won't be practical.
@@t_sizzler_2032 Im a sophomore computer science student and Im now thinking about buying m1 max macbook pro. Makes more sense in the long run and build quality etc. but ofcourse one of them is mac and the other is windows so thats a bit of an issue.
I repasted just the cpu with liquid metal and it resolved those issue he was talking about. Battery life has improved. The fans do not ramp unless I'm hitting the cpu or gpu with a heavy load. Biggest difference was the cpu was able to substain a high clock speed. I don't remember the exact score but the thermal paste I throttled to 3.8-3.9 Ghz. Liquid metal it was at 4.2-4.3 Ghz. Overall with liquid metal it's made it a solid laptop for my needs.
Liquid metal with copper??
@@VirtueelGamingNL Yes, I been doing it for years on my laptops. Yes I know liquid metal eats at the copper but with my own laptops, I just notice the copper turns black around a yearish but I am not saying to follow my lead and do it at your risk. It is what I did to resolve the issues he had in his video because his complaints were similar to mine.
Hey man, planning on getting one, can you tell more about the battery life you get ?
We have an i7 with intel arc a370m model that i'm planning on getting
@@mikayel18ify I would say I average 6-8hrs. Just depends what I am doing. Normally it's basic photo editing, internet browsing and streaming video. If I do any power hungry tasks I plug it in. I'm pretty happy with the machine overall. And this coming from a person who's owned around dozen or so machines over the past few years. For my needs this hits everything I want.
@@kames30 thanks for your answer my friend. Do you have the 4k screen or 1080p (touch or non touch)?
currently watching on this laptop :)
What's your experience with it so far?
The optics also have flaws. In my case, the buttons touch the display lightly when I close it. As a result, you can see slight fingerprints on the display.
I have a 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900HK 2.50 GHz in it (9520). The fan runs even with low usage. It should not be placed on the table. A metal stand that does not cover the ventilation openings is better.
Well said, on a XPS 15 9570, thermal issues have been a plague on this system. Beautiful, but not functional.
Beautiful, but functional as long as batteries are good. You can’t expect to use the plugged in and be cool
Can you review the new Samsung Book 3 Ultra?
Please is the body metal or plastic??
Was considering until you talked about thermal problem. Guess I have to delay buying laptop again 💀
I just turned off Turbo Boost on my old 2019 XPS 15 with OLED and all works fine. No need for fast CPU in my case and most of my works are done remote in cloud anyway. Upgrade RAM to 64GB and SSD to 1TB and this runs like new again.
Resell value of this is horrible compare to Macbook, but if you need to run Docker and other memory intensive application on this, it is a better developer machine. An equivalent Mac will run more than double the price.
Mac's biggest advantage will be battery life. This new XP 15 can only last 2-3 hours on battery now even after I replaced the battery. My Macbook Pro 16 barely goes down 20% on battery at that time.
OLED screen on this beas Macbook when watching Netflix etc though.
"Office workers using Office 365, you could get a cheaper Dell Latitude"😅😂😂.
Team Latitude is enjoying this with a 1080p camera and less of a heating issue.
Can anyone using this laptop explains me how it's battery performance and noise?
The price is way too high. The hubris of Windows laptop makers is pushing me to consider the upcoming 15-inch Macbook Air, and I've been a lifelong Windows user.
I have both the m2 chip is way better.
Haha take a look at the galaxy book ultra 😂
I want a laptop with a dell xps panel and a slim bezel and huge trackpad, a Lenovo extreme keyboard, Asus Zenbook efficiency, and battery life.
Is it under 2k?
Which heat system can be used instead of heat pipe one?
Vapour chamber
I really do believe that you are a technically handy person.. So take some machine oil for fine tools and apply it on those hinges :D ..
Dell really needs to tackle the CPU heat distribution system.
What laptop would you recomment for music production?
asus studiobook
Three weeks ago I got the same laptop (though with oled screen) and I have no issues with the hinge. But you are right about the touchpad, it's 'clicky' :)
Do you hear a lot of fan noise?
@@sbouzari no fan noise at all, but on the other hand I have not pushed it at the point where the fan's would be required. I may test this with a couple of runs with cinebench.
Its not for gamers or people using office apps its for people using cad and video editing.
I would reckon that the majority of people buying these are using office apps and online browsing 99% of the time.
Also, I doubt Dell is targetting engineers for CAD and Video Editors. This laptop is severely under powered due to heat limitations. To the point that it's mobile GPU gets a small fraction of the wattage of what it COULD use.
I think thermal issue is with all these models, XPS, Alienware
U see the mat finishings is still acompny any affordable project
I am planning to get the XPS 17 9730, but I'm confused between getting the 13-gen i9 or 13 gen i7. Any thoughts?
Get the i7. It won’t be able to cool an i9 properly and you’ll get diminishing returns in performance because of the thermal issues. I have an i7 and it still overheats
i7 dell xps 17? Also if it is the dell xps 17 with the i7, how is the battery life at like 75% brightness? If it is at least 8 doing office tasks + occasional videos I will cop.@@DavidBrown-if6hg
I would totally buy it if it had a high refresh rate screen. That's the only thing limiting me from buying it.
Will never happen. Only reserved for alienware laptops. 120hz takes up alot of battery usage.
@@DonR4Jwell windows includes dynamic refresh rate so it's dell just being lazy at this point imo
And the best: no Dell-Logo inside!! Others, like HP, Asus, ... simply don't understand how to create clean looking devices. They seem to think that we keep forgetting, what device we are using, so they need to remind us ALL THE TIME, EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AGAIN!!! Thanks DELL and Apple for removing all the labels inside!!! DELL was first!
Would XPS 15 with i5-12500H have thermal issue? is the thermal issue due to the frame or CPU?
Likely a mixture of the two, but mostly CPU. If you're a power user, you will likely use the computer to it's full potential and that will obviously cause it to overheat. If you need more processing power, you could always just install more RAM.
I really hope that Dell gets their shit together next year on this. I got the xps 15 9510 for basically free from a former co worker. The issues that are out there, Im aware of. I personally havent had a LOT of issues thankfully (prolly not yet lol). However, I dont understand how you (Dell) dont properly cool the xps 15 line.
Trying to put something powerful in a thin body.... yeah massive heat problem. I get that the 17 is there but cmon man, learn from others mistakes (Apple's touch bar model). Dont get me wrong, I love this windows laptop and I want to really love it but the thermal issues gotta be mitigated in this day in age. Added with throwing in a AMD chip and hell, pair it up with full team red and give it a radeon GPU.
Ive noticed that most of the windows laptops nowadays are in the Intel chipset choke hold (could be just me). But everywhere I look, its Intel. Anywhooo - If Dell were to create a full team red line or even AMD chipset and have it properly chilled (cool system), Ill buy it. But with that being said, might as well stick with a Macbook Pro M series laptop for now.
I have an i7 latitude 5530, everything about this is excellent and I mean it.... except for the cooling....I can only get max turbo boost of 4.2ghz while i7 can go till 4.7ghz...and after about 30 seconds cpu get 90°c and clock speed drops to 2.x ghz and jumps within 2.x and 3.x....I live in a tropical climate where ambient temperature is around 30 to 34 °C... cooling should be improved...that being said this is a great business laptop for things like documents, presentation, mertings, web based admin tasks...etc... definitely not for video encoding or code compilation
Wish they made it like the xps 13😢
I don't understand how after three years they haven't managed to fix the damn trackpad. How hard is this to do?
Hinge is creaking after ONE MONTH?
heating ?
Does anyone know the i7 thermal performance
Unfortunately, I have creaky hinges, but after my next week exam, I'll call support assistant. Because my laptop has just 4 months of life, and I don't want to open it. I don't know how they will resolve this issue😔
I'm a little worried. Fortunately, here in Italy, with my endurance program of dell, I can call them so they will assist me at my home or university.! You give them your address and they will come.😅
I had nothing but problems with mine they changed the motherboard two times it's still broken
