The Dell is equally comfortable as a desktop replacement or a travelling companion, though perhaps at over 2.5kg you might not want to carry it around for long periods too often. The price tag of almost £1200 is high, but despite our reservations about...

Abstract: We review the excellent Dell XPS 15z, winner of two What Laptop Tablet & Smartphone awards, and one of the best laptops on the market to rival the mighty MacBook Pro.Posted on Thursday, November 10th, 2011 at 5:05 pm under Buying Guides ,...
Great design, great performance, fantastic screen, lots of storage
Keyboard layout, lack of Blu-ray drive,
You get good looks backed up by good design. Superb performance and battery life and a screen that really impresses. There are almost no drawbacks and it's priced to make Mac users jealous. ...
Almost everything, Brilliant screen, Tons of power, Solid and attractive body.
What's to hate?, Slightly shallow keyboard if we must, No Blu-ray
Value for money, power, build quality and performance, Dell's XPS 15z is a stunning laptop

There’s no denying that the specs and the real-life performance of this machine are admirable. And even the lowest budget option of the three is still reasonable powerful considering the £899 price level. Both the design and the internals give every in...
Build quality disappointing in places, Unimpressive battery life, Unattractive keyboard
The Dell XPS 15z offers great performance with an attractive, slim design. If you're after a MacBook Pro but can't quite get the cash, this laptop may be a good alternative....
The Dell XPS 15z is a 15.4-inch machine, finished in magnesium and aluminium. The chassis measures under an inch in depth, and it's thinner than lots of rival laptops. It's tactile and robust, although you'll find several different metals in place – rather than the MacBook Pro's uni-body design. That said, the XPS 15z really is a nice laptop to use and to look at. Surprisingly for a semi-portable
The fact the XPS 15z uses different types of metals creates a slightly unbalanced feel to the design, although there's no disputing the quality. We also found the 15z was slightly noisy in use, although never distractingly so.
Finished entirely in metal, the Dell XPS 15z has few proper rivals. The HP Envy 15 and Apple MacBook Pro both spring to mind, and the Dell undercuts both when it comes to specification. If you're in the market for a high quality PC, the XPS 15z is well...
