Great hardware with almost great software...
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this with the intention of using it in my video/photo editing workflow with the addition of gaming using the 3050ti and a 3070 via an eGPU enclosure. This is coming from my previous daily driver which was a Zephyrus G15 with the Ryzen 5900HS and the RTX 3070. So far, the device has been wonderful to use on a daily basis for all of my needs. The screen is more than bright enough to use in less than optimal lighting conditions; the 16:10 screen has great contrast and black levels with no uneven backlighting on my unit. The keyboard is crisp and firm with good travel and spacing throughout. The build quality is superb and I thankfully got a unit without any of the minor (but annoying) issues others have had such as wobbly trackpads or speaker troubles in the 9500 or the current 9510 series. Coming from the G15, I have no worry of the display or the chassis flexing or creaking as this is a relatively more solid feeling device. There is no noise or hum when using headphones plugged into the headphone jack, which I have experienced on other devices in the past. On the software side of things, much could be improved. The device is littered with bloatware from the start that undermines the premium fit and finish of the device. McAfee shouldn't be included on a device that can cost north of $2,000, but at least it subsidizes the cost in exchange for the tiny effort it takes to uninstall it. There are several separate Dell applications for managing various performance modes, speaker/sound equalizing, and display color optimization, among others. This suite seems a little disjointed but is necessary to utilize the device to its full potential. Aside from the Dell add-ins, I have had some issues with the graphics. When watching a YouTube video, if the device is put to sleep and then turned on again, the video can turn black with nothing working until Chrome is restarted. This is likely an iGPU driver issue so I will continue to troubleshoot it. Although Windows 11 is currently in a preview status, it was having issues as well with various graphical glitches and visual noise that seemed to be an issue with Nvidia Optimus overlaying the two gpus rather than utilizing one. That has only happened in this unfinished software, however and the current Windows 10 reinstall I have done has worked fine. As far as someone looking to get into using this laptop with an external graphics enclosure, the CPU is capable of high refresh rate gaming on a 1440p 165hz monitor if using an eGPU; these 11th gen H-series processors have an integrated Thunderbolt controller in the CPU itself which reduces the overhead and performance reductions seen in prior H series chips. The result is a lovely experience with desktop level performance and decently quiet fan noise when used with an eGPU as the 3050ti is not being used which gives the CPU more thermal headroom to hover around 80 degrees Celsius. One thing of note that seems particular to all Windows devices using an external GPU is that there is microstutter if more than one graphics device is enabled at the same time when using an eGPU. When I disable the iGPU and the 3050ti in device manager, the stutter completely disappears. Benchmarks (external display): Unigine Superposition (1080p Extreme) 3050ti -2422pts 3070 - 8040pts For comparison, the G15 scored 6001pts in the same benchmark while in performance mode on the internal display.

This one is great
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall direction XPS has been going is not good. This device is great, but I want the ability to repair things. Don't waste your money on warranties. This version can be upgraded, but hardly in any capacity that Framework has.

Textbook XPS Winning Formula
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Dell XPS 9510 is a beautifully crafted machine offering a winning combination of excellent build quality, high performance, and exceptional user experience. There are many configurations for the XPS line. The one I received has the following configuration: 15” non-touchscreen with a 1920x1200 FHD+ with an anti-glare matte screen, 512 gb m.2 NVMe SSD, 16gb of RAM, 11th gen Intel Core i7-11800H, with a dedicated NVDIA GeForce 3050Ti graphics card. The XPS line is renowned for its excellent build quality and Dell continues this tradition on the 9510. It has a CNC machined smooth aluminum body with carbon fiber palm rests. The structural frame is solid with no flexing. Performance on the XPS 9510 is also one of its strong points. In my line of work, I use CAD software to perform modeling and renderings and also dabble in video and photo editing software. Having the dedicated graphics makes the workflow so much smoother and reduces processing time. This is a great laptop for those types of use cases. The user experience is simply steller. The lid can be opened with one hand. The keyboard has the right feedback and travel, allowing long and speedy typing without fatigue. I’m also loving the touchpad. The glass surface precision touchpad is one of the best I have used. For one thing, the touchpad is huge, plenty of area to maneuver around! It is smooth, responsive, and on point. The backlit keyboard has two brightness levels with illumination levels that won’t become a distraction. The connection ports consist of two thunderbolt 4 (USB Type C) with display port and power delivery along the left edge. Along the right edge, there is 1 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C with display port and power delivery, a 3.5 headphone jack, and a slot for a full sized SD card. Dell also provides a USB Type C adapter to USB-A 3.0 and HDMI 2.0 for additional connectivity. The 1920 x 1200 resolution is plenty sharp on a 15.6” screen. It has wide viewing angles without losing any of the display colors and brightness. Speaking of brightness the display can achieve up to 500 nits of brightness. I love the bright display as this allows me to easily view the display outdoors. The matte screen prevents glare and reflection, great to eliminate all that light when sitting next to windows and bright concentrated lighting. The disadvantage though of having the matte screen over a glossy screen is that with the matte screen, the images don’t have the vividness and have less contrast than on a glossy screen. Finally, the bezels on this laptop are super thin, what Dell calls InfinityEdge. I’m usually not impressed with the speakers from laptops. In general, I have to resort to using external speakers for some quality audio. However, the XPS 9510 has some decent quality to them. Dell was able to squeeze in 2.5Wx2 woofers and 1.5Wx2 tweeters for a total of 8 watts of peak power. And it sounds pretty good! There is some depth to the audio and a little bit of punch to the bass. The laptop can get pretty warm when the processor or graphics card is working hard. I guess this is to be expected since the processors would need more power to crunch all that data for renderings and video output. It can get uncomfortably warm when I have it on my lap, and the fans kick in and become kind of loud. However, I found out that Dell does allow the user to modify four thermal profiles (Optimized, Cool, Quiet, and Ultra Performance) on the laptop to manage the amount of heat dissipation and noise from the fans. So, on those occasions when you’re mobile and have the laptop on your lap, then you’ll want to use the ‘Cool’ setting. And for those times when you’re in an environment where you don’t want the fan noise to become a distraction, you can select the ‘Quiet’ setting. How long the laptop battery can run before needing a recharge will be highly dependent on the power settings, display brightness, and how you use the laptop. For me, a typical day would be a nine hour work day running office software, web meetings, web browsing, running rendering and video software with one-quarter to one-half brightness. I was able to get through a full work day without reaching for the charger. The only thing I didn’t like about the laptop is the 720p built-in webcam. It’s good when there is plenty of uniform ambient lighting, but becomes grainy and loses contrast in more challenging lighting conditions. You would think that with so many of us on video conferencing, we should not have to resort to having to purchase a dedicated webcam for a better experience. Maybe in the next iteration, Dell can offer a higher quality built-in webcam. Should you purchase the XPS 9510? Well, it’s got plenty of horsepower for business and creative applications, and I think for the majority of users other than serious gamers, the Dell XPS 9510 is a great choice and you will be pleased with what you get. The XPS is Dell’s premium line and it doesn’t come cheap, but I think it is worth it if you can afford it for the reasons I mentioned at the beginning: excellent build quality, high performance, and exceptional user experience. And that's their textbook winning formula. Dell seems to understand these three pillars in the premium laptop market and I think that’s why the XPS, including the current XPS 9510, will remain popular.

Fast, Work Creator Gaming Laptop - Win11 Ready
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lightning Fast, Windows 11 Ready, Fun for the Casual Gamer TLDR: - fast benchmark reports desktop speeds - great for occasional gaming (got 150 FPS on Overwatch) - no USB A, Ethernet, or HDMI ports but Dell includes an HDMI/USB A Dongle - fingerprint and Windows Hello ready - super thin, light, and runs quiet - Windows 11 ready FULL REVIEW I've mostly had a bias for 14" laptops for work and study (easy to travel with) but the screens have started to feel a little cramped. The Dell XPS 15 (9510 model) is the perfect laptop where you want style, speed, performance, but with true laptop portability. Out of the box, the Dell XPS 15 is thin at 0.71. That's incredibly thin given the specs include an RTX 3050Ti card. The display is Full HD and Dell has gone for the 16x10 aspect ratio. This is important to know because it feels far more spacious and superior to a "traditional laptop". Dell's edgeless display makes the 15" feel as spacious as a 17" monitor - which is quite a trick. Things to know out of the box. The Dell XPS 15 has no USB A, HDMI, or Ethernet port. You get 3 USB C (2 are Thunderbolt ports), an SD card slot, and an audio port. You will need one USB C port for charging. The USB C charger is 130W, so for now you can't use a GaN charger as they're underpowered. The BIOS actually warns you on startup if the charger is low-powered. As for no USB A or HDMI ports, Dell does include a little dongle. You may have your own thoughts on dongles, but this is a future-ready laptop and like DVD drives, USB A will soon go away. The keyboard is great, it's backlit. There's a fingerprint reader and the camera also supports Windows Hello. This makes logging in a breeze. The touchpad is large and responsive (no flex). If you need to use an external mouse, I would recommend one that supports Bluetooth though, so you don't have to use a dongle. Audio quality is good for a laptop and you can upgrade to Dolby ATMOS. I like the platinum silver outside and inside it has a soft-touch style plastic that is not a fingerprint magnet. The setup was straightforward. Dell has no bloatware, other than McAffee which was easy to remove. There were the usual Dell firmware updates and Microsoft updates, but in under an hour, I was ready to put this thing through its paces and do some benchmarking. The Dell XPS 15 is FAST. Incredibly fast. It made my less than 1 year old 14" Dell seem sluggish by comparison. Benchmarks uploaded show you the Dell XPS and RTX 3050Ti combo is more than ready to be a desktop replacement. This means you can put it through paces for work (crunch spreadsheets), or as a creator (my kid was happy to edit videos with Adobe), and the occasional game - more on that in a second. The 3050Ti graphics card is good for gaming. I got an average 150FPS on Overwatch, which is more than respectable for a laptop that's not technically a gaming laptop. I would stress though, the XPS is not a true gaming laptop, so if you want to (mostly) play games, I would consider one of Dell's true gaming models. The XPS is more the "do serious work and occasionally blow off steam playing a game" type of computer. Which is pretty cool and makes the XPS great value. The big observation for me is how quiet the XPS 15 runs. It's whisper quiet. I haven't noticed the fans even under load. It's quite an achievement. The XPS does get a little warm at the back at the fan/heat extraction point, but nothing to complain about. Finally, I did download and run Microsoft's Windows 11 checker. The Dell XPS is 100% ready for Windows 11. Making it a smart long-term investment. I would recommend the Dell XPS and you won't be disappointed. PS. 16GB is plenty of RAM. I would normally check on how easy it is to upgrade internals (RAM, SSD) but Dell uses star screws, and everything is so nice, neat, clean I didn't want to risk the warranty (or damaging it) by opening it. So I can't give any perspective on upgradeability.

Q: Questionwill it display 4k video on external 4k monitor
Asked by wrangler76.
- A:Answer YourDellTeam is completely incorrect with their response to this question. I tested this laptop on several different displays. It will without a problem run an external 4k display. I tested the following setups (HDMI was using the included dongle): HDMI to a 24" LG 4k screen and it displayed 4k. HDMI to a 32" Samsung Smart 4k monitor and it displayed 4k. USBC to a 32" Samsung Smart 4k monitor and it displayed 4k and charged through the USBC. (USBC display and concurrent charging worked through any of the 3 ports) I was even able to connect to the LG 55" OLED TV wirelessly and display 4k (wireless connection at 4k does cause a noticeable latency but it works fine for projecting videos and pictures, not great for gaming)
