Great, but touchpad is too large
Bear in mind this is only a week of use (this review is for the XPS9530-7701SLV-PUS):
TLDR I do recommend this laptop, but there is one major flaw so far --the touchpad is too large.
Have not yet had the fan/heating issues mentioned in the other reviews with the load I've been putting on it. I have not yet attempted to connect multiple monitors to it. If you were to do so, I would recommend using a independently powered device should there be a heat bottleneck of some sort.
Appears to be fully adequate for what I've been using it (heavy trading markets, browsing, videos, multiple business type software open).
Have not tried it for gaming.
Windows 11 is poor in my first impression. Microsoft is great at making their OS worse and worse (look & feel) with every generation. Overly simplified dumbed down icons, worse than Win10 (which was worse than Win 7). This could be overcome by swapping out the hard drive until Win10 support is discontinued (perhaps even Linux bootable or internal HD).
Feel of the laptop overall is superior (keyboard & touchpad feel is great)
Sound is excellent, so far, but I'm no audiophile.
Body (outside) seems excellent. Perhaps on par with or better than current MacBooks
Keyboard is pretty low profile, seems pleasant to use.
The bad: Touchpad is too large, imo, and I'm almost tempted to return it for just this reason. Larger keyboard would have been preferable to this oversized touchpad.
I'm on a separate MSI 17" laptop with a touchpad that's only 4.75" diagonal (some 15" laptops have a touchpad larger than this) and have 4.75" is adequate.
This Dell XPS 9530 has a touchpad that is 6.875" diagonal. There are some discussions on this advantages/disadvantages online that might be worth a look (if you're keyboard heavy, using shortcuts like I do, this might be deal breaker or a hindrance).
Did they do this to make room for what they wanted to accomplish on the internals?
I have no gripes with the function & feel of the touchpad, just the size.
If you're considering expanding the memory, the manual for this Dell 9530 (i7 13th gen) says the max it can utilize is 4800. Thus, the Crucial website recommendation is incorrect (if the manual is correct).

Powerful Metallic Beast
This machine is beast. it handles all engineering and software task effortlessly. Although the design is very basic and doesn’t look like fancy gaming laptops but can out-beat them in most of the aspects. It also has the best built quality in segment especially with carbon Fiber element
