Loud, hot, but OLED it’s got.
This XPS is getting a fraction of the lifespan that a MacBook Pro can get
And, of course, even these mid-range chips come with a fairly substantial downside: battery life. Even with the GPU disabled, this XPS is getting a fraction of the lifespan that a MacBook Pro can get. I was only averaging three hours and 46 minutes of continuous work with the screen at medium brightness, with occasional downloads running, files copying, and other such tasks.
This battery lifespan is not necessarily a deal-breaker for this kind of laptop, as I’m sure people will point out in the comments. Dell did not make particularly lofty battery claims, and the XPS 15’s 86 Whr battery isn’t massive. Still, a $1,999 device dying that quickly is a tough pill to swallow, especially considering that portability is supposed to be one of its major selling points.
Software-wise, it’s solid. It comes equipped with Dell’s interesting Mobile Connect feature, which allows you to integrate your device with a smartphone and easily transfer files, mirror screens, etc., between them. The fingerprint reader and Windows Hello camera both work well for sign-in. And there was no McAfee or other nonsense pre-installed on my unit.
The XPS 15 is still fairly unique in what it offers, and that means it’s still going to be my recommendation for some folks who are looking for a premium 15-incher with great peripherals and a standout screen. But if Dell only could figure out how to cool more powerful chips , I think it could be a perfect device.
