The wait is over!!! Like -> add to playlist -> favorite -> watch later.
I been waiting for your XPS 9750's review for a long time!!! thank you!
You should really get a sponsor from the manufacturer of your shirts.
If they are your own, maybe you should open a merch store cuz they're awesome, Lisa
finally! been waiting for this review!
Always enjoy your reviews. always spot on and unbiased one way or the other. I check out your channel before buying computer equipment and I'm never disappointed. Great job and keep on and thank you.
I remember watching your surface pro 2 video. it was the reason i subscribed. great to see your amazing reviews, and unbiased as hell, i bought my maxed out XPS 13 because of your review. cheers.
Yay! I've been waiting for you to review this! Thank you Lisa!
Been waiting on this review for so long, great review as usual.
Hello Lisa! Just wanted to say how much I love your reviews, you're always so thorough and your voice is so soothing and easy to listen to!!! Preciate you ma'am!
Just wanted to thank you for these excellent reviews. They make purchasing one of these things so much easier.
Lisa and her consistency
I love your t-shirt :D. Thank you for your great review. I just bought this laptop after watching your review! Keep up the good work, Lisa!
The heat issue hasn't been a big deal for me with my 9560 but after the 9570 reviews I'm looking a lot harder at the aerox as my next daily driver. Thanks for the review as always!
Thanks for sharing. Amazing review!
You could improve the audio quality... but its fine for me because what is important is the content.
Best regards.
Just found your channel, fantastic review so full of information, thank you. And yes I have subscribed,
Thanks for putting this up. Sorry for being rude while asking for this review in one of your previous videos
I am on my 3rd replacement xps 15 - i've had 9550 9560 , and am waiting for my 9570 replacement from dell(all in warranty) you are spot on in your review, stating little bugs. all my xps systems have had repeated ssd failures.I will not purchase another xps 15. My roommate has a xps 13 from 3 years ago. that machine is perfect , no issues , ever. Thank you for putting the pros and cons int the' review.
Finally!!! My xps 15 is being delivered tomorrow!
Amazing review as always, Lisa, keep that great work!
Maybe consider doing a comparison video with the 15-inch Surface Book 2, since both are more towards professionals.
I actually just received mine on the same day you uploaded :)
Nice well rounded review.
thank you for all the review s
Just the absolute best mobile tech reviewer, thank you. This has seriously influenced my decision.
Wow really good review!
Great that you mentioned the GPU problems
Great review
Ordered one from Dell on Cyber Monday for $1349
i7
Fhd
16 GB ram
256 GB SSD
Love it
Had to pay 100$ for taxes so so $1461 still a good deal
Thank you for your review. As i am writing this comment on my XPS 15 9570 you can figure out that your review helped me to decide. I am absolutely in love with this laptop. I bought the version with 16 gb Ram the big battery and the full hd display to further increase the running time on the laptop. It is the perfect mix of design, graphic power, battery runn time and compact smal light laptop.
have you tried running any CAD programs on it? How well does it perform if so?
@@inigo_hungerford2123 I havent. I am using it mostly for Office and games. I am running acassains creed odysseys on max graphic on 1680x1020 eit around 65 fps if that helps you
Thanks Lisa...!
Review units delivered by manufacturer are no-no. Truly legit reviews use units from the stores.
This has been the video I have been waiting for. 😎👌 Great work as always Lisa
Also so: if one wished to occasionally stream mid teir games and do graphic design, would you go for the 1080p 9570 or 4k 9560? Is the CPU difference worth it do ya think?
Can you make a smackdown between Dell XPS 13 vs Huawei Matebook X Pro
Great video! Subbed
I wonder if the battery pack still gets swollen on this
I found the "cheap" model is fantastic under Ubuntu Linux. I swamped out the slow as molasses hard drive for a Nvme ssd and much bigger battery, another 8gb of ram and having no Nvidia chip really does extend the life and over all performance of this laptop. I am able to boot in under 5 seconds, and go for hours. Best of all the unit was cheap. I picked up mine for under $450 bucks, after the battery, ram and ssd under $600. The "lowly" i5 feels quite confident.
Cant wait for Lenovo X1 Extreme review and comparison vs XPS 15.
I love mine for school. Not great for gaming but amazing for students. Grab one on a sale.
This needs same change Dell did to it's 13 inch XPS. A radical improvement.
Hi Lisa, great review as always. I was looking at getting one but im not so sure. I want a laptop for Premier Pro, Lightroom, Photoshop, After Effects. Some very light gaming too. What would you recommend?
How do you not have a million subs yet? Can you do a review on the HP Omen 15 2018
Is it normal for Dell speakers to distort easily with digital clipping? Watching TV shows and movies you can detect high pitch resonating once you get past sound 60 or 70% volume. I just got the 9575 and I'm not at whether my speakers are faulty or they're just not that good. I turned that waves maxx software off as that just made it worse. I would expect to be able to 100% without distortion assuming the audio source is below 0db. The laptop body seems to resonate too which seems to add to it.
gr8 video excellent work 👍
Love me some Lisa on Monday or any day. ;)
5 years later - fantastic laptop, it aged very very well
I have a Dell XPS 15 (9560), love the build quality but I had many software problems, had to reinstall Windows once and then reset to factory 2x, this was within one year. The computer also runs hot whenever I play games such as Fortnite. Battery life is down to 4 hours on a full charge also, overheating has lowered the battery. I suggest if you look for a laptop gaming, if you have a big budget either buy a expensive gaming laptop like Razer thats portable and doesn't have a gaming vibe. Or buy a Dell XPS 13 as an ultrabook and then buy a gaming laptop for under $1000
I also had a lot of battery and hardware issues with my 9550.
Xps 13 i7 model is freaking 1900$ and the Xps 15 9750 is just 1399$.. wtf
only 4 hrs which variant do you have?
Loved the review, had a question would you take this over a razer blade for daily use and casual gaming ?
I couldn't click fast enough
Ty for the great review! If you don't mind, can you test egpu performance of Dell XPS 15 9570 as well?
i bought one last week. latest bios 1.11 is good even though it add intel security crap you don't feel the performance drop. as about the thermals if i want to game i always have a fan pad...and i have it by default undervoltage -140cpu core -14igpu core. that gave me -20c most of the times and increased my battery life +40mins!!! without loosing any Ghz performance.
What are some really good colour accurate laptops for photo editing? Probably with a 1060 GPU in it as well?
I am still using my i7 9570 No Problem thus far........XPS Rock
wow thanks for the in depth review...i'm buying it lol
Hi Lisa, would you buy the Lenovo X1 Extreme over the XPS 15? I've seen both of your reviews, but it's kinda hard to tell which of the two you think is the better buy. Is it true that the 8850H in the X1 Extreme is a better and cooler running option than the i9 used in the XPS 15, but just as powerful? Is there a substantial performance difference between the 8750H and 8850H processors? I'm a pretty heavy user, leaning mostly on Office 365, Chrome, Lightroom (Classic), Photoshop, and a lot of Netflix. No Premier yet, I'm just doing stills right now, but I plan to experiment with video at some point soon. All your reviews are great. Thanks.
my dream laptop :)
I've had the last model for about a year, it's been fantastic but my main issue has always been the cooling! Makes it much harder to render and run games than expected.
have you tried undervolting it? looking to buy this and was wondering if that solves the overheating problem.
Buuy 1080p screen model
great video, OMG, having recently purchased a 2018 dell 15 9570, recently I was not made aware of a swelling battery issue. I am curious as to know if you have hade to replace the battery at all and how long are the batteries rated to last? Was there any error and or alert that the Windows OS gave you in your discovery of the battery problem, that is did you perform a diagnostic which informed you prior? This really sucks, to where I may now consider returning the laptop for this reason. Thanks
Yet Dell have relabelled this as the Precision 5530 for the workstation crowd, even have a xeon option (though slower than the i9!). They really do need to get their engineering teams back on the job to sort the next xps 15 out for heat and stability otherwise it'll be pointless. Great review, I've cooled towards the xps15 unlike the machine itself.
Hi Lisa, is it still good to buy a last year XPS 15? i am not into video editing, just photos and just need a good screen. any recommendation?
Hi Lisa,
thanks for your review! I have the exact same model for a week now and have some issues with it. I did a clean install of windows and installed all drivers & latest BIOS, however the fans start kicking in completely randomly. Even without any tasks running the fans tend to kick in for a second, take a break for a couple seconds and start over again which gets pretty annoying over time. I did a CPU undervolt of -120mV (CPU temperature jumps around between 44-49 degreece celsious at light tasks), I even set the cooling profile in Dell's Power Manager to "quiet" but still, fans spin around all the time.
I also experienced that it's quite slow in Lightroom, although I definitely use the graphics acceleration. It's like a short lag everytime you move a slider which get's pretty annoying when you have to edit many photos at once.
Got any ideas if this can be fixed? Really thinking about returning it tough. Thanks!
Lisa, any idea how this compares with the Dell Precision 5530 performance-wise? If I'm not mistaking it uses a similar, slightly larger chassis, but considering that the workstation has more power, I assume that the thermals is still a problem?
Hey Lisa, I had this XPS for five months. I had many issues. It didn’t recognise the charger. The screen
bleed made watching videos and Netflix a pain, not the great experience I was
expecting from a high end laptop. The sound went crazy after a bios update four
weeks ago. Dell sent a tech guy to replace the motherboard, the screen and the
speakers. BitLocker had been set up by Dell so when the new components were
replaced the laptop was locked. Dell solution was a fresh install of Windows.
All my info would be wiped……NOT GOOD! I had done my research but Dell are doing
quite a lot wrong. I don’t want to but maybe it’s time to go back to Apple. Any
suggestions?
Lol when I buy it, you did a review it too late, lol thanks😁 but this is the best review I ever seen.
Waiting for your detailed review of the Lenovo Thinkpad P52
Now I've seen 5 reviews of this computer, you've been the most comprehensive. Some dont even talk about the thermal issue, and that's a big thing. I dont want my computer to have specs I cannot enjoy full use of, AND last me 3-4 years, hopefully.
Hmmm, I want 16gb, 8th gen i7, and a GPU in a well built body and good screen for photo and digital creativity. This seems to hit all of that, BUT, I dont want the heat aye. Is a gaming laptop the way? $2000ish AUD is my budget area. I'll flex on price and specs though.
Old Desgin but good desgin =D
Hi there. I've a question about the 4k display metrics.
Dell advertises full adobe rgb colour gamut and I can see from your review that spyder 5 elite measures 98% of adobe rgb colour gamut. However, when I read the review for this notebook written by the guys from notebookcheck, they say that the 4k display covers only about 88% of adobe rgb colour gamut. So I'm confused by such a large difference between your measurements and those from notebookcheck.
The reason I'm asking is because I am seriously considering buying a dell xps 15 for my girlfriend who is a professional photographer and works in adobe colour gamut. And now I'm confused by such a large difference in numbers between the two reviews. I was hoping you could clarify this a bit for me.
Thank you for your time in advance!
Cheers!
very useful. two comments, 1) I also find surprising dell's secret support of WACOM pens. on my 9570 it worked fine with a bamboo pen and I find it a quite useful feature for occasional retouches of photos kind of thing. I can guess dell does not want to cannibalize sales of the 9575, and hence they might not want to advertize the feature; 2) I still cringe at negative statements of other reviewers on cooling that refer to something like "well dell kept the same cooling than last year but now we have six-core instead of four, so of course it is insufficient." what puzzles me is that the 8850h is a 45 watt TDP part just like last years 7700HQ, why then the same cooling of last year is not enough if by definition TDP is the heat the computer has to dissipate. is Intel lying about actual TDPs of the 8th gen?
Actually Intel is lying about the TDP, like always, they advertise TDP at 45W (but for base clock)(pretty low for the 8th gen btw), and then the turbo clocks way higher.
I recall that the 9570 in Intel XTU have the TDP set at 57W turbo boost and short term something like 70W.
But still Lisa was a bit harsh this time, it scores very high even compared with the competition and long term has a clock of 3.2Ghz all cores, and with just a undervolt it easily reaches 3.6~3.7Ghz all cores (!), That's full 700-800Mhz more than the MBP after the patch
I purchased this laptop. I have 32gigs and 1TB. Performance has been good for me. Have used premier and light room and it's been pretty smooth and quick. I use these programs but strictly amateur. Content creator light.... Lol
sorry for the silly question - what type of SD card would work best with this model? I need about 512gb add-on...
Hi Lisa! I'm temped to buy the 9570 with i9 but unsure if i want to spend the huge amount of wonga if a new version could be due for release. would you have any knowledge on the possibility of a new release? UK.
I am wondering for my photography files of a7R3 (40 - 80MB/raw) and lightroom would that laptop worth it? And if yes - which configuration.
are you planning to review elitebook 1050 g1?
Couple Questions: #1. Can I upgrade the ram to a 64GB DD4? #2. Ive been hearing "thermal throttling" is a big issue with some of the units produced, if I got one and ran into that, is there a way around it that you suggest i go about on approaching? #3. Is there a better Wifi card than the intel that I can replace? Really looking forward to your reply.
Also, can I replace the battery with a much longer duration battery from a Chinese manufacturer from Amazon/Ebay?
You are the best!!!
Will XPS15 be compete with Thinkpad T480? If so, would you do a comparison vid of that, especially the models with 32G RAM...Thanks!!!
I am curious to know what you would recommend to look at for a mobile work station. I need to replace my desktop and was looking into a laptop that could do the job. I want to start a youtube channel so it will be mainly used for video editing. Not a fan of Apple product and Surface, so it doesn't leave us with much choices. I thought XPS would do the trick but you seem to say for video editing it's not the best. I'm looking to invest between 2k and 3k CAD. Thanks for you recommendation.
For a college student, do you think I should get a mobile work station? (something like the Thinkpad T580) Or a gaming laptop? Both are powerful machines. I really care about the powerful performance, as I'm a computer engineering student, but I also need a good battery life that would last all day.
@ Lisa Gades would you recommend this laptop for music production
is there any fix for the GPU problems? It is happening to my XPS 15 9570 as well. Any time I am connected to power and play any game, it freezes and reboots. Tried multiple drivers and factory resets but all was in vain. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello Lisa, I speak to you and to all those who have had the opportunity to try this XPS 15 9570. In the video we see that the upper part of the display appears darker especially with white backgrounds. I'm noticing the same thing in my XPS that I recently purchased. Can you confirm that the 4k display of this XPS has this effect or defect?
Immediately replaced the Toshiba 256gb SSD with a Samsung 970 512gb and run numbers are noticeably improved.
I had finally upgraded to this with 32gb, i9, 1050ti, 4K TOUCH and 1tb hard drive coming from the dell xps m1210. MAJOR LEAP UPGRADE RIGHT?
Would you prefer the Dell XPS 15 9750 or the asus zenbook pro ux550ve
I’m a photographer who plans to spend most of my time on this laptop in Lightroom and photoshop with occasional Premiere pro 1080p editing. Everyone else has made feel confident that this laptop is the right choice. Do you reckon it’s still going to perform well enough for those task. I will rarely Game, but occasionally.
I had 3 brand new xps laptops past year and they all failed me :(
I really wanted to keep one of them
Thanks for the review. I’m guessing this isn’t what I need. Unless “light gaming” includes the MMOs
I always wondered about the chemical composition of bacon.
Lisa! Please make a smackdown 9570 xps 15 vs 2018 Macbook pro 15! Thanks.
Hello I just want to ask if the link of amazon on your description is reliable to order?? Im from Asia (philippines) and I want to order via your link on your description. hopefully someone can answer. thanks!
Just received my laptop yesterday and it’s already giving me issues...
Constant screen flickering
This is so frustrating
If you want to undervolt use powershell not xtu or the other stuff. You guys can make a .vbs that would be able to undervolt in power she'll and never have to open xtu
Any chance of a Surface Go / Tab S4 smackdown at some point in the future?
you are awesome! thank you! one thing to consider - when I got this laptop, and I have always being with macs, what shocked me was the weight of the charger! it's sooooo soooo soooo so heavy!!! why? i thought this laptop will be easier to carry then my old macbook, but because of the charger it's the same weight! ( face palm) pretty sad
is the keyboard for the xps 15 9570 UHD resistant to water spill?
So, the main question is:
DOES IT OVERHEAT, like all previous models?
Yes
In order for laptop to NOT overheat under sustained, you'd need to have MacBook Air spec in XPS 15 chassis with some fancy vapor chamber / liquid cooling connected to display back panel....
Is there a real benefit to putting in such a low powered dedicated graphics vs the Intel HD?
hey can you use it without the battery
i mean you take it out and its charging all the time?
How will the XPS 15 perform with CAD and CPU rendering?
GOT IT
I really wanna know how well it would perform for virtualization applications
I bought the i9 version with 32gb RAM and 1TB SSD. I really liked the laptop, the display, the keyboard. All good. But I returned it. Why? Thermal throtteling was an issue of course, but I expected that. But what really drove me crazy, was the loud fan noise. It kept only calm, when idelling, but when starting any work on this laptop (even office apps) the fans got very loud and that´s a dealbreaker. I also had a key, which was not working proberly. I was really looking forward to this laptop, to replace my workstation. But now I am clueless again. You have any recommendations? I cannot find anything comparable, regarding look and feel on the windows market. Would you say, that an MacBook Pro 15 isn´t a reaplacement for a workstation, too? Thanks for advice, and by the way. Love your videos ....
What did you get? I'm excited for the 2nd gen Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme & new Dell XPS 15 that will launch this summer with Oled options. The Thinkpad is my frontrunner because I'm a writer, so their keyboards make me droooooooool.
