Dell XPS 15 VS Dell XPS 17! Is BIGGER Always BETTER?!

[@MxAusAntm]

Your reviews on the XPS 15 and 17 are probably the highest quality reviews out there.

[@TheMontegonian]

They should have shifted the keyboard and mouse down a bit on the 17". That would resolve the uncomfortable typing issue.

[@robcohen]

For typing comfort, try tilting it up slightly with lapdesk or stand.

[@lalnuntluangachhakchhuak5767]

OEM should settle on 1440p. That's the sweetspot for screen resolution

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yeah that would be awesome!

[@FunkyToe369]

Gimme 1440p and a moderate refresh rate, I would be so damn happy.

[@robcohen]

I really prefer screens with "retina" resolution. The extra bit of sharpness helps with my aging eyes. It didn't used to matter, until it did.

The thermals concerned me too. I think it is especially worth pointing out that your base XPS 15 with internal graphics was almost throttling. Upgrading to the i7 and putting a dedicated graphics chip into the mix would certainly thermal throttle a lot.

It's hovering at 67-77c at 15% utilization.. how is that good? I'd want to see how it performs with an actual workload over the course of at least 10 mins.

[@alexter001122]

For me it was the 15 inch no question. You forgot to say one thing in your review, if you want a laptop as a home desktop replacement you DO want 4k... battery won't matter since it's plugged in. And with that being said, the XPS 15 is $1000 cheaper with both being 4k. I don't know about you, but I am not going to pay 1 grand for two more inches , you can buy 5 smart TVs for that money. Just wanted to put some perspective out there. Stay blessed 🙏

[@TomerGa]

If you use it as a home desktop you might aswell use a monitor.

[@shingetsu10]

@@TomerGa Can't use a monitor in bed or on the sofa

[@TomerGa]

@@shingetsu10 Still, having 4K on a 15 inch display is kind of an over kill. If you use it in bed or on the sofa you're basically using it is a protable device. If you want to use it a desktop replacement you'll probably work over a desk, and therefore a monitor is a better solution.

[@TaioTai]

As a desktop replacement, while i see the price point difference, i would say the better cooling system is far more important when running intensive tasks, especially if you are running a 4k screen and therefore more power and more heat. A desktop replacement can also be more expensive because it's not just a secondary option or a more travel friendly one, it's your only editing machine and so it needs to run like a charm. In fact the cooling needs outweigh the 4k benefits on any screen below mid 20 inches. YT, IG, FB, etc. Won't really be showing you anything in 4k. If you, like me, kinda want the 4k anyway, that's fine but it certainly isn't a reason to go 15.6 instead of 17 in and of itself.

[@alexter001122]

@@TaioTai For me, I've saved 3 years for a 4k device and I know im mainly doing productivity work. I am also in the last year of finishing my degree so I needed a mobile device. 4k is for youtube and some movies, even if you watch in 1080p I noticed that the quality is better. Overall, my laptop never gets hot, it's only throttled one time on the first day if I remember. It's down to personal preference in the end, everyone has different needs

i am very concerned more about fan noise or the vapor champer noise, does it go on when in idle , do they have the issue or ramping up the fan when doing nothing every once in a while , that's a key purchase point for me, i hope you answer ! it seems no youtuber talk about noise when talking about such laptops. and how much the noise in decibels. your review is really good , but i think you should include this point in your future reviews.

[@kaoushik11]

Great video! I think the vapour chamber cooling system is definitely a deal-breaker. Do you think the XPS 17 can be used as a Home / Work and Gaming Laptop? Does it fit the all in one utility? Please let me know.

[@Brayne]

This review actually perfectly explains why I bought my razer balde.... 15inch form factor and with vapor chamber for the robust cooling system. Not to mention that the touch pad is built with better quality. Have to say that I am feeling quite confortable with my decision.

[@Droning-ON]

It's just so disappointing that Dell haven't given us alternative GPU options, such as Razer do (offering the 2080 Super Max-Q), also the options for non-US websites are terrible, there are only 3 configuration options in Sweden and UK, both highly limited and very sneakily spec'd which will confuse some into buying the most expensive thinking that they're getting the most capable, when actually they'll end up with the lower spec i7 and only 16Gb ram...

[@TheOtherOlesen]

Great comparison and review video! I ended up going with the XPS 17. I really wanted the 2060 but I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t have a home version with the 2060 and FHD+ because I agree that the UHD really isn’t necessary and I wanted the longer battery life. They do have a “work” version with it but I couldn’t use my discounts, rewards, and finance deals with it. So the UHD version it was but I was able to get it at $2500 including tax!

[@namedo6712]

I never understood why they divide it in home and work. Can't a computer be bought for both?

[@TheOtherOlesen]

Name Do They definitely do it to try and push certain products towards consumers. Like, it’s a bit silly they allow more customizable options for work with the exact same shipping date (the home version I got had a minimum 1TB hard drive but I’d rather have saved the money for a smaller size and upgraded it for less). And I’m using the laptop as a mobile work station so it is effectively a home and work laptop for me...

You can get an excellent desktop for $2000. A lot of the money in laptops comes from form factor and trying to get everything in a small footprint.

The new palm rest/keyboard/trackpad also has the wireless antenna. The cable for the antenna was defective. The technician tried for over an hour to get the cable to work, losing his temper and throwing his tools in my livingroom. The technician also said that Dell doesn't know how to design a laptop. He also got mad when he had an extra part he didn't remember where it went back to. He couldn't get the antenna cable back on but did something with a screw to hold it next to it and told me he didn't have all night to sit here and try to fix it. After the machine was "finished" it still had the same click problem. I called Dell and the first two customer service reps hung up on me. I have been trying to speak to a manager for almost a week now to get a replacement unit sent. I'm telling you, I will never buy another Dell product as long as I live. I should have bought a MBP.
