No competition as a lightweight and thin gaming laptop with such quality for its price (around $1000$1100 new), Good gaming and 3D performance for the price with Skylake I56300HQ and GTX 960M 2GB, Very good build quality, very rigid body, very rigid outer
Fans are noticeable audible on moderate load and even more on gaming load, GPU clocks won't get as high as in other laptops like the VN7592G (but not that crucial for gaming), Speakers are just a bit above the average, if at all (but not too bad), Keyboar
I'll try to keep it short this time. The Dell XPS 15 9550 I5/960M version is a very good machine in my opinion, more than the usual $1000 gaming laptops – way more thin & lightweight, much better build quality, display has much higher contrast than the ot...
high-quality, sturdy chassis, compact dimensions considering the screen size, simple maintenance via bottom cover, excellent color accuracy after calibration, high, constant brightness without sensor, contrast and viewing angles, steady fan control, good
visible display flickering at the lowest brightness level, mediocre color accuracy ex-works, CPU performance cannot be utilized completely, CPU throttling on battery power, massive throttling when you stress CPU and GPU, faulty fan control after battery
You might be disappointed if you expected high-end performance from the XPS 15 at any time and in every situation. The XPS 15 not only reduces the CPU clock to 1.6 GHz on battery power, but it also acts sluggish, which will certainly not please power user...

Gorgeous 15" 4K IPS Infinity Edge Display, Carbon Fiber And Machined Aluminum, Great Performance, Powerful, Light, Stylish
Relatively Pricey
The performance and capabilities of Dell's new XPS 15 can be summed up fairly easily with one word: "balanced." This is a notebook that has no real weakness and a lot of strengths. In standard compute tasks, the Intel quad-core Core i7-6700HQ processor in...
4K screen hits battery life hard, Very expensive in review configuration, Ethernet and VGA connectivity require an extra dongle, Webcam placement isn't ideal for video chats
Dell's redesigned XPS 15 delivers much of what we liked about its smaller 13-inch sibling, plus one of the nicest 4K screens we've seen. But all those bright pixels make it tough to achieve all-day battery life. And while it starts at $999, it's way pric...
Exemplary build quality and design, Incredibly thin (11-17 mm), light (2.0 kg for the touch version) and mobile chassis, Great input devices (comfortable keyboard, accurate and responisve touchpad), Impeccable screen quality with 100% sRGB and Adobe RGB c
Reduced performance and even throttling when running CPU and GPU-intensive tasks, The fan in the cooling system is louder than we would like, The soft-touch matte plastic used for the interior attracts fingerprints and smudges, A bit too pricey even if go
Dell has yet again presented an impeccable build quality and design featuring anodized aluminum, rubberized finish and carbon fiber base under the hood resulting in sturdy construction, lightweight chassis (just 2 kg) and incredibly small physical dimensi...
Oh, that Infinity display! Small and slim for a 15" quad core laptop. Runs relatively cool and quiet. Decent battery life. Powerful with good NVIDIA GTX 960M dedicated graphics
We'd have liked more ports, 4K display is a challenge to calibrate, desireable configs are expensive, bugs that took several months to squash
As with the XPS 13 earlier this year, Dell has hit a home run. This extremely powerful portable is smaller and lighter than any other 15.6" laptop in its performance class. Build quality and materials are top notch and the carbon fiber keyboard deck is as...
Great 4K touch display, Solid design and quality, Good overall performance, Long battery life
Cramped keyboard layout, Windows screen scaling still erratic, Gets warm under heavy usage
A couple of slightly rough edges can't detract from Dell's desirable multimedia laptop, which challenges Apple's Retina MacBook Pro with a stunning 4K touch screen and 512GB of solid-state storage. Read More…...
Slim, light and fast quad core laptop. Excellent UHD 4K Sharp IGZO display, very good keyboard, top materials
Expensive, not all programs play nicely with 4K displays
The Dell XPS 15 is definitely the closest thing you'll find to a Windows 15" Retina MacBook Pro. It goes beyond in terms of serviceability, display resolution and ports (one could argue about ports since the Mac has two Thunderbolt 2 ports, but Thunderbol...
Anodized aluminium and carbon-fiber offer elegant and robust construction, Latest CPU and high-end GPU for strong computing and gaming performance, Crisp and clear InfinityEdge display with high level contrast, Lightweight chassis and smaller footprint c
Battery is non removable even with the enclosed motherboard, Screen flickering at low brightness, 1 Year warranty is disappointing considering the price tag, The laptop can only be bought from Dell directly
The launch of Dell XPS 15 2016 was highly anticipated, but disappointingly the notebook came plagued with software and system BIOS issues. Fortunately, Dell has fixed all of these minor issues right in time to make sure that it does not affect the integri...
