Dell XPS 15 9500 (2020)

If you're looking for a Windows alternative to the MacBook Pro then the XPS 15 is a great choice. And you don't need to spend £3k to get impressive specs

Dell XPS 15 (2020) Review: Professional Glow-up

The Dell XPS 15 (9500) gets slimmer bezels than ever around a 16:10 display, along with Intel's latest, 10th Gen H-series chips.

Gorgeous with slim bezels ; Great sound quality ; Bright, vivid, 16:10 display ; Strong performance

Lackluster webcam ; Middling SSD speeds

The Dell XPS 15 (9500) is back with a redesign that highlights a beautiful 16:10 screen and has excellent sound quality. Its webcam, though in the right place, still needs work.

Dell XPS 15 review (2020): The ideal 15-inch laptop for creatives

Dell's premium 15-inch notebook finally has a design refresh to match the excellent XPS 13. It's fast, sleek and has one of the best screens we've seen in a workhorse PC. The only downside is that it loses legacy ports.

Thinner and lighter design ; Screen is larger with thinner bezels ; Better keyboard and trackpad ; Excellent performance ; SD card reader still included

No USB Type A or HDMI ports ; Only three USB-C connections

Dell XPS 15 (9500) review: Best 15-inch laptop you can buy

Every aspect of the new Dell XPS 15 has been redesigned, and yet the look still feels distinctly XPS. Is this still the best laptop for creative professionals?

Efficient design ; An extra Thunderbolt 3 port ; World-class display ; Excellent performance

Expensive

Dell XPS 15 (2020) review: new design, familiar problems

Still not perfect but certainly an improvement.

Excellent 16:10 display ; Upgraded bezel-free chassis design ; Great keyboard and touchpad ; Full-size SD card reader

Below-average battery life ; Loud fans under load ; Runs hot ; Frustrating bloatware that affects performance

Dell has released its newest 15-inch flagship, the 2020 Dell XPS 15. We tested a midrange model that includes a Core i7-10875H, 16GB of RAM (DDR4), an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti, and 512GB SSD. It sports a new design that looks modern and chic, but it...

Dell XPS 15 9500 Review: Buy this laptop instead of a MacBook Pro 16

Dell's totally redesigned XPS 15 9500 features a beautiful 4K screen, 10th gen 8-core Core i7, GeForce graphics and gets here just in time to press F for the MacBook Pro 16.

Gorgeous slim-bezel display ; Fantastic audio for a laptop

GPU performance takes a step back ; Not even one measly USB-A port

The parts of the laptop you touch most are the keyboard and trackpad. On the XPS 15 9500, you thankfully get a standard butterfly switch instead of the company’s MagLev keyboard. That means good travel and fairly stable keys when depressed.
