Dell XPS 15 7590 Full Review! | The Tech Chap

[@Thetechchap]

What laptop do you have right now? 🤔 CORRECTION 1: Undervolting won't damage your laptop, but can cause BSODs and crashes. Generally -100mv is safe) CORRECTION 2: It was actually a crappy Killer WiFi chip on the 9570, I replaced it with a good Intel chip. My mistake! But the Killer chip here works well.

[@timm2069]

Returned my XPS15 7590 (OLED) today. The screen itself was incredibly beautiful, everything popped and media was a joy to watch. Unfortunately thermals were catastrophic... I achieved a stable undervolt of -0.115v on CPU and undervolted + underclocked the GPU, testing with fans forced to be at 100%, setup laptop on cold surface and this device was unable to operate with normal temps under light use. Having multiple applications open (Chrome w 10+ tabs, word, excel, outlook) in a work situation had CPU bouncing off its temp limit. Light gaming at 1080p on 8+ year old games (eg Diablo 3 low settings) caused thermal throttling after 2mins of playtime. Yes I understand that this is not a gaming laptop, but spending $3500+ AUD you would expect it to do some basics. When not throttled, the 1650gtx has enough juice to give me 200+fps, but when throttled drops to 300mhz and 5-10fps. First time trying Dell, also the last.

The Dell XPS 15's striking with that 4k OLED display having an Intel Core i9 CPU and GTX 1650 GPU. Wow, I'm amazed as its beauty and powerful setup.

So one year after purchasing my dell XP’s 15 9570 back in 2019 I found out that this laptop has so many performance problems. You need to constantly dust the inside of it to prevent the laptop from overheating and reapply cooling paste. If you are not knowledgeable about computer hardware do not purchase from dell. This video only covers it out of the box not a year later. I used this channel and several others to help influence my decision what laptop to buy and am really disappointed that it never discussed how the laptops perform years later. After my warranty expired within a year I was faced with so many problems meanwhile my hp envy back from 2013 is having less internal problems.

[@xrochefr]

Same boat as you. Mine has GPU fan rattling, and oervheated CPU throttling continuously. And of course, as you mention, after one year, Dell won't even sell you replacement parts (you need to buy random compatible parts on Chinese websites). Shame for a "premium" laptop.

[@japes25]

@@xrochefr what was your solution to fix your cpu throttling and high temperatures? I just ordered some cooling paste and going to try to apply that again. I noticed a significant increase in performance when I cleaned the dust out of my fan but it was still not the same when I first got it.

0:15 - “And also mine has a bunch of grease stains on the palmrest”. This has got the be the single worst thing about the XPS 15, and it’s constant daily maintenance to keep this thing clean. Even worse I’ve had the XPS 14 for 4 years before this thing was unveiled and it had virtually the same palmrest material - 8 years dealing with this and I hate it! I sincerely hope the next XPS 15 palmrest is aluminum or something that doesn’t get immediately caked with fingerprints and grease stains

[@namyun2743]

@BlindMango What makes you think having an aluminum palmrest will make caked on fingerprints and grease stains look any better? If the fingerprints and grease stains have gotten to the point where it is caked on, that's typically a sign to clean it off. Alcohol wipes are not expensive.

If you want a fast laptop, don't buy a dell xps. I've had the xps 15 9560 for over 2 years now and it's only been problems and more problems.. I can't watch youtube for more than half an hour without my laptop overheating and throttling to 0.8Ghz for like 15 min (max temp = 85degrees °C ??) . It's really stupid. This only happens when I connect my 4k monitor, but my laptop has a 1050 and an i7 7700hq, so you would think 4k video playback would be peanuts for this laptop. And I need to tell you guys, I have tried absolutely everything to fix it. I have applied arctic mx-4 cooling paste twice, It's undervolted -150mv, I removed all the dust from the vents with canned air, the laptop is on "cool"-mode (=reduced speed and more fan noise) and I put the cpu on a max of 2,7Ghz. Now guess what? After watching half an hour of youtube this thing gets stuck at 0,8Ghz and there's nothing I can do about it, it's become unusable. I have researched a lot about this 0,8Ghz and many people report similar problems, with different solutions, which I have all tried. Seems like this 0,8ghz throttling is "hard-coded" in the hardware, so to say. When I bought this laptop I watching lots of reviews like these, "best laptop money can buy", "king of windows laptops", .. My budget was unlimited and I wanted the best windows laptop, with good looks, so I bought this one. Don't get yourself trapped by these godly, superficial reviews. 90% of these reviewers don't test this laptops long-term capability (and they can't because of time constraints). My laptop is also just slow all-around. It's like at 4:06, you can see he switches to fullscreen but it takes like a second. This may not seem like not much of a problem, but for me, this is just slow. My 5 year-old i3 gt540m laptop does this faster. And this one has a gtx 1650..?? It should switch to fullscreen instantly. I just want to warn you guys, if you are a power user and want good performance (not only in benchmarks, on paper or when rendering, but also for everyday use) buy another laptop with decent cooling. Right now I am waiting for my lenovo y540, which is also a bit on the thin side, but is known for having a good cooling system. Sorry for bashing a bit on the video, it was a nice well-made video, but just wanted to share my experience with the xps 15, which was the opposite of yours..

[@MattMerkle]

Correction: Undervolting cannot permanently damage your system. At worst, you will crash/bluescreen, and fix it on the following bootup. Although -.100mV is stable on every laptop I've ever touched anyway (and in fact, manufacturers like Razer and Apple do this out of the box).

Great Video. I ordered the new XPS 13 9300 with 1080p screen, 16gb memory 512gb SSD hard drive with extended warranty. I thought about it for a few days and looked on dells site again. I ended up ordering last year's XPS 15 7590 from Dell with 4k OLED panel, i7, 32gb memory, Nvidia graphics and 1 TB SSD hard drive and extended warranty for $200 more than I paid for the new XPS 13. For me I don't need the extra power of the XPS 15 but I want the most for my money so I'm glad I rethought this. I'm going to be sending back the XPS 13 when it arrives.

To any person who is willing to buy an XPS (not just the 7590), beware of thermal throttling, it's real and it's driving me crazy. My 9560 - as sexy and on-papers powerful as it is - throttles almost as much as the Macbook 2018.

[@back2thebasicz]

[@bobzeda]

I bought the 7590 with touch 4k display, 16 gig RAM and 500gig SSD. The Killer Wifi card is HORRIBLE --every 20-30 minutes it drops. There is some decent coil whine (it doesn't REALLY bother me too much though), the battery lasts about 5 hours with the 4k model. I'd get the i7 and not the I9. The track pad/touch pad is really 'squirrely.' I have have to shutoff any gesture functions in the touchpad to make it usable. Dell techs have 'worked' with me on the wifi issues for about a week. I'm really itching to send the laptop back because I don't see a use in ME buying a new Intel wifi card for a new computer.

Yah I have the same problem! Waking it up from sleep just closes everything opened before sleep. Is there any negatives having it go hibernation and no sleep? Thanks for any help!

[@MattMerkle]

@@Qtipsinear If it's crashing on wakeup, you're probably using the Intel XTU utility to undervolt. Do not use this program, XTU has serious bugs with sleep mode. Download ThrottleStop instead (as shown in this video) and use that instead. All my crashing issues on wakeup went away by doing this.

[@bertrandstone303]

Matt Merkle agreed, XTU causes crashes whenever the computer goes to sleep, and also often doesn’t apply a preset undervolt at startup and you have to do it manually

[@kninezbanks]

XPS 15 users should undervolt their CPU AND GPU themselves for better performance......Every laptop chip is different, All laptops have different undervolt limits that can only be discovered with extensive testing, something that would take too much time on the manufacturing chain...some OEMs just apply a -100mv undervolt to their CPUs which should work for 95% to 99% of laptops......My current Laptop (Aero 15) has a maximum stable undervolt of (-135mv)....(-140 to -168) will crash randomly.....(-169) and more will cause instant crashing. My previous laptops had limits of -125, -110, -150, -170 (highest ever). I undervolted my 80W GTX 1060. It does base boost clock of 1670 at 900mv........to 1890 around 1150mv.......I literally turned it into a 60W 1060 max-q (loses 10% performance) I looked up the 1060 max-q, it has a maximum clock speed of around 1480mhz.......So I played with the voltage curve and limited it from 1670 to 1480 max clock speed.....at 0.750mv.......150mv below the 900mv of the default 1670. The results are amazing.......Playing Assasins Creed Origins at stock......GPU was pulling about 75 to 78W average......around 87W max/peak. Now when gaming it pulls about 52W to 55W average (62W is the maximum/peak power I've ever seen now. so 1) Turning my 80W 1060 into a 60W 1060 max-q via a msi afterburner profile. 2) Undervolting my i7-8750H by -135mv core, -135mv cache, -125mv intel igpu. 3) And also limiting my CPU from 3.9Ghz to 3.5Ghz with throttlestop when gaming. 4) Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut repaste. When gaming with default fans (never max)....CPU temps stay in the 75 to 78C range. GPU stays in the 72 to 77C range. The laptop body feels warm, never hot.......and the fans are inaudible with the speakers active. All this and I can still play AAA games at high settings 60fps......Thin and light gaming laptops are awesome....but they need tuning and a lot of TLD (Tender Loving Care).

The GPU will still throttle (but refer to the reddit solution using MSI afterburner).

@@brev5003 And I have an MSI 17 inch with all the bells and whistles and my Dell XPS studio from 2009 was made so much better that I vowed to stick with Dell. Its night and day the build quality. That piece of shit MSI's screen split in half and had dents all over it bc of the shitty thin metal it's made with. Dell's are made very, very well.

I got myself the Inspiron 15 7590 with an i7 9750H, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB SSD, 4k IPS screen and the GTX1650. What can I say - so glad I didn't go for the XPS. Perfect machine for me and my 3rd Dell computer already. If you are looking for a great Windows laptop - I think this is it. Exactly the same specs as the XPS but around 500 EUR / GBP cheaper.

I really enjoyed this video and I think you going into a little more detail made it excellent. This gave a listener lots to think about and also pointed out the issues you were having as well as the differences in the screen types. I will be watching that screen comparison video right now! I have been a subscriber for a while and I always enjoy your videos.

2:20 Wifi: Just my personal experience with the 7590: University wifi: stable. Home wifi: unstable connection (whereas other laptops don’t drop connection). Replaced the card with Intel AC 9260. Problems gone. Also Now I can dual-Boot Pop_OS without problems and have WiFi under Linux. Otherwise you‘d need to update the Kernel.

[@jg14gerhard_bar]

in terms of the wifi issue people saw very fixes by uninstalling the Killer software drives and installing the Intel ones since the 7590s wifi chipset is just a rebranded chip. and it's better the AC 9260(Killer AC 1550)

[@midnighttornado22]

I have the 7590 decently specced out, and it is definitely an improvement over the 9570 (I originally owned the 9570 before it died a miserable sad sputtering death after I accidentally spilled liquid all over the keyboard). The 7590 is a better version of it for sure. I fool around with video editing a lot, and this thing just rocks. ROCKS.

Yanis Yukams no way. If you’re going to buy a a laptop that weighs in at almost 4 1/2 pounds then it better have a lot of power otherwise there are other lighter options out there.

[@ChloeOfTheCookies]

Hey guys. So I'm looking to purchase a Dell XPS 15 7950 pretty soon. I recently had a Macbook Pro 15 (2013 model), but unfortunately that died on me. I loved the screen of that one to bits - it was gorgeous. Unfortunately I have eyes that are kinda sensitive/not that great, but the Macbook was perfect for them. I have borrowed a Lenovo V330 in the interim and I can't stand the quality of the screen. I don't know if it's the contrast or the colours, but it's unbearable for me - I can't go more than ten minutes without a headache forming, and for my job I'm on it all day. However, the Lenovo is a FHD screen, and so is the Dell XPS that I want (I really, really don't want the 4K - out of my price range and reflection/glossy issues). So my question is, is the FHD screen of the Dell XPS very good? Are the colours decent, the black levels crisp? You can tell I'm not a techy as any correct terminology is beyond me xD I just don't want to spend out a whole bunch of money only for the screen to be as bad as the Lenovo I'm using. I'd really appreciate some advice! Thank you all! :D

[@VarunDaniel]

[@mayuss3877]

[@freetobe3]

If Dell made a AMD XPS I'd buy that in a heartbeat... after I saved up the Benjamin's. I don't like Nvidia with my Linux distros. Never a good mix.

Now it looks superb, but I have had two oleds at Samsung. And after one year there are visible marks. Sorry, but I can accept this on the phone. But not at all at working machine with adobe rgb where I do photos or sensitive thing according to colors etc. Oled will be burned where W10 bar with time etc is...

[@Echoes-]

@@manthe3711 The XPS with 97whr battery has a way better battery life, it's not even comparable with the Blade 15.

[@MattMerkle]

I switched from Razer precisely because of their quality control issues. A dead mobo in the middle of an event was the last straw for me, on top of major wifi issues, buggy razer software, etc. Yes, Razer has slightly better gaming performance, but I don't care. If I wanted a gaming laptop I'd buy a gaming laptop. I want a solid thin workstation, and XPS is a better choice for that. Plus, the battery life is nothing to sneeze at.

[@neuralvibes]

@@MattMerkle Yes, quality control issues are also my main concern with the Razer Blade. Have you owned the 2019 model? It supposedly has better cooling, which should reduce these issues at least somewhat, as most failures are heat-related.

[@timothypraditia5709]

Hi, I'm seriously considering of buying XPS 15 7590 just because XPS 13 has no USB 3 ports and I need to buy an additional docking station or adapter. My only concern is the weight of the XPS 15, since I now own an old Inspiron 14 7447 which weighs around 2.3 kg and it feels quite heavy for me. What are your thoughts?
