Dell XPS 15

 

For the last couple of years, the Dell XPS 15 has been the standard-bearer for Windows 10 laptops. With powerful quad-core processors, dedicated graphics and a sub-£2,000 price, this is the machine that takes it to the top-end 15-inch MacBook Pros.

Dell XPS 15z

 

The Macbook Pro of the Windows world, this thin, metal-clad 15.4in laptop is attractive and stylish without compromising on power or features.

All-metal, semi-unibody chassis, Streamlined, less than 1in thick, Excellent build quality and great feel, Optional 1080p screen, Powerful, well-rounded specification

No Blu-ray drive, Noisy under load, Not user upgradeable, Non-replaceable battery

Dell XPS 15 review: as good as it gets from a 15-inch home or work laptop

 

Super design, 4K graphics and powerful too

Incredible 4K screen ; Very powerful ; Tidy size for a 15-inch laptop

It loves fingerprints ; Only two USB ports

Dell XPS 15z laptop review

 

While the MacBook Pro is still one of the best looking out there the super slinky, packed with high-octane multimedia goodies, Dell's XPS 15z is one of the best 15.6-inch Windows laptops we've ogled.

Almost everything ; Brilliant screen ; Tons of power

What's to hate ; Slightly shallow keyboard ; No Blu-ray

Quite simply, this is one of the best portables we've had the pleasure of reviewing. Masses of power are tucked into a slim and portable chassis, with an excellent keyboard and a sharp and vibrant screen. If you're looking for an alternative to the...

Dell XPS 15z review

 

Ridiculous power in a beautiful and highly portable body

Sharp, vibrant full HD screen ; Incredible performance ; Excellent isolation-style keyboard ; Slim and solid build ; Long battery life

Short power lead ; Screen doesn't tilt back far ; Fairly expensive

Here at TechRadar, we had some serious geek chills when we reviewed the Dell XPS 15. Combining powerful Intel Core performance with a slick customisable body, beautiful screen and excellent usability, we defy anyone not to enjoy the impressive...

Dell XPS 15z

 

When you see the XPS 15z your first thought is likely to be about how much it resembles the old titanium MacBook. Its rounded corners, silver metal finish and slot-loading DVD drive all remind us of the Apple machine. Open the XPS up and start using it...

Great design, great performance, fantastic screen, lots of storage

Keyboard layout, lack of Blu-ray drive,

The Dell XPS 15z is a really impressive combination of design, features, performance, battery life and all-round appeal. It's a good multimedia system with an excellent screen and the 3D output option, a workhorse system that will deliver performance...

The latest XPS model from Dell is the Dell XPS 15z, teased last week in a short video which showed off some of its interesting design points. Design

Video review: Dell XPS 15z P12F

 

The processor specification of the Dell XPS 15z is admirable. Our sample had a 2.7GHz dual-core Intel i7-2620M which may have been around for nearly a year, but it was matched up with a generous 8GB of RAM to help the Dell to 135 points in WorldBench 6.

Dell XPS 15z P12F review

 

You'd be forgiven for thinking Dell set out to mimic the look of the Apple MacBook Pro with the Dell XPS 15z. At a glance you could even mix the two up – especially when closed. Take a closer look, though, and the many differences become a lot more...

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...

Dell XPS 15z review

 

The obvious comparison for the Dell XPS 15z (the first in a line of z-series XPS systems) isn't another Windows-based PC, it's an Apple MacBook Pro 15in (Early 2011). In fact, the overall look and feel of the system are close enough to those of Apple's...

Let's hope that the XPS 15z proves to be a turning point for Dell, signaling a new direction for Dell consumer product design and engineering in general, rather than a niche "high style" brand that will represent only a small fraction of the company's...
