This was ok and I could manage it myself, but when I used to be away and family needed the comp it was a real pain.

It starts up in the middle of the night (from being turned off, not from sleep mode) and runs like a plane for 30minutes before turning off again. I had more BDOS than I ever had in my life. For the last fix I had to uninstall the Nvidia card and reprogram windows registry so that it stops reinstalling it on its own. It took me a literal day of work. Dell's support assist OS is the equivalent of a forced virus that you can't get rid off. If you want to access windows backup tools you have to go through support assist. And on top of that, it weights a tone and is louder than fan pointed at your face. BUY ANYTHING BUT DELL! It's all just good specs on a paper. The reality is terrible.

(Admittedly it was a "refurbished" unit, but it appeared to be in new, perfect, condition when I got it.) Dell just agreed to take it back and refund my original price, because there were so many problems. In dealing with these many problems I had plenty of opportunity to interact with their tech support, which I found to be as appallingly bad as their hardware was unreliable. It is unfortunate that we can find all kinds of reviews of new hardware but no real information on expected reliability.

Both computers have a similar graphics cards, Asus has an optional 4k panel available if someone needs one. I think you are underestimating Asus, despite the fact that it is not built from a single block of aluminum its build quality does not differ from the Dell XPS or MacBooks. Seriously, I compared these 3 computers before I bought Asus. X13 doesn't just feel solid, it IS solid. Very solid. I mention the Asus for the reason, I wanted to buy a dell XPS myself, but ended up buying Asus, so I suppose other people may also be interested in this alternative. And once again I strongly advise - do not be cheated by ROG in the name, Asus X13 is a business computer, or studio notebook, whatever name you prefer.

Apple is still king of the trackpads and has far better webcam. IO is better on the Mac. The Mac gets 120Hz dynamic refresh. Better DAC on Mac. The MB Pros perform as well on battery and efficiency per watt is miles better. Macs have far better sustained performance from some reviews I have seen. There is simply no way I could buy the Dell, though macOS offers all the apps I need so for some that may not be an option. Again, Dell is lucky to have such weak competition in Windows-land, which means the praise by creators si more in respect of the best of a bad bunch rather than a shining light, which it def was a few years ago.

If you look at the actual data, on max brightness setting it only runs at ~500 nits. The 1600 nits is basically for some individual pixels when running stuff like HDR content. 2. IO is better on the Mac... The Macbook Pro 2021 does have more total ports, but to be honest with you, the existence of the HDMI port on it is *kind of* useless since you can just hook up a USB-C to HDMI cable; although, still, overall more ports to play with on the Macbook 3. 120Hz refresh rate, better DAC I agree with you on this one 4. The MB Pros perform as well on battery and efficiency per watt is miles better. Macs have far better-sustained performance from some reviews I have seen. The thing about the Macbooks u aren't realizing is that they are rocking 90 and 100 Whr batteries. Not only that, the 14" one with the M1 Max actually has very bad battery life -- on par with 10th and 11th gen Intel H series laptops (4-6 hours, light loads). That's because the M1 Max actually is power hungry. Although this, I must admit, it's still pretty good for a ~55W APU power ceiling versus ~95Wish. But my point is, although it's pretty good, there are *some* caveats to be aware of. Don't get me wrong -- I don't hate the Macbooks (I plan to buy one myself). I'm just trying to avoid the misinformation 5. Dell has no competition...

Update on XPS 9520 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900HK 2.50 GHz 32 gb ram, received my second one. Lasted 1 week before the desktop would not hold appearance settings and the desktop icons are too far apart. Currently dell is trying to get me a third one. I am refusing saying I want another model.

Hi, I would like to ask an information. I am interested in this configuration for the 9520 model: i7 12700h, 3050Ti, 16gb RAM, 1TB SSD, FHD+ (1920x1200) display. Does this incorporate a 6 cell battery (86 Wh)? I am trying to understand whether the i7 12700H ALWAYS comes with a 6 cell battery or not. Surprisingly, on the Dell Italy website there is the 3 cell battery with that configuration, but in any other country it is a 6 cell. So it might be a mistake on the Italian website. As there is no customer/sales support in that country, I would like to be sure before making the purchase. Thank you!

The best configuration for 9520 is 12th generation Intel i9 12600 processor, 32GB RAM, 1 TB memory and ultra high resolution touch screen

I've had 3 XPS 15 and they were all very frustrating. Build quality is great, but everything else... In all my models, despite de multiple BIOS uptades they could NEVER go to sleep and reliably wake up. Incredible overheat and throttle causing subpar actual performane. That frame edge under the keyboard is beautiful, but ultimately it's very uncomfortable and really hut my hands. Crappy battery life. The list goes on... Why do you say that few ports are to be expected? The versions from 3 years back had all the ports being the same size and weight. Also... In what planet is 2KG light?

Well I’ve got one - i7, 32G RAM, 1TB SSD, OLED, and it’s brilliant - but everything you said is correct. The camera is poor - usable but obviously weaker than the rest of the hardware. The DAC, or the headphone amp (I suspect it is this) is utter rubbish. Sound from the headphone socket is really pretty poor - which is surprising as the speakers sound quite a bit better than I expected - particularly on films. Everything else is super slick and works as expected. I added a titanium, brush finish, skin and that looks epic IMO.

@@ronthomason8388 It’s been amazing, battery life has been good depending on what I’m doing. If I’m playing video games it doesn’t last very much but when I’m doin school and work it lasts me a couple of hours. As for deciding which one to go with, the 4K and OLED are slightly different when it comes to battery life. But I have heard a lot of people say OLED strains the eyes when doing office work with text and white backgrounds. Which usually leads them to switching to the 4K. Hope this helps.

The XPS17 had a bigger screen but also a bigger battery and the air chamber cooling, so I am wondering which will provide better battery life with constant but normal use, no big music or video editing, not even much spreadsheeting, just lots of online streaming with numerous Chrome tabs and other things open. Any thoughts? Great review though. Thumbs up!

I purchased my Dell laptop two years ago for $3.2k. Unfortunately, the camera has not been functioning since the beginning. Overall, my experience has been positive except for a few issues. The battery life is not satisfactory, the touchpad is not as smooth as a Mac, there is occasional Wi-Fi stuttering, and it tends to heat up under heavy workloads. There are also several features that I find unnecessary, such as the touch screen, which I keep turned off, and the 64GB of RAM that I barely utilize more than 30% of.

At my work some engineers use the Precision version of XPS (2-3 gens behind) and all of them need MORE USBs. Now our company is giving the new generations of Precision laptops and the no USB-A is horrible. We use laptops as they are portable and I cant explain how stupid it is to move 10 meters from your desk and not be able to plug a flash drive, mouse etc. I do not understand "Business" or "Enterprise" laptops that do NOT offer connectivity outside the docking station. Everything is dongles
@vivek_v2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, the 5000 series Precisions have always been a weird spot in their lineup and I think not having at least an HDMI port is quite stupid. At least they give a dongle, but what's the point of a slim laptop if you always need to carry a dongle with you. I'm extremely happy with the ports on my Precision 7760 (...except for the lack of a full size display port). Not AS generous as my old M4800, but enough to live a mostly dongle-free life.
