Laptop Dell XPS 15z Reviews
Dell XPS 15z Reviews
Author: Patricia E. Klem
As a big head of computer manufacture, Dell also brings us many surprises. The following are some detailed reviews of Dell XPS 15z. Dell XPS 15z delivers the power you need inside one of the thinnest 15" PCs on the planet. Easy-to-use Dell Stage software keeps the things you care about at your fingertips, giving you the best of everything while sacrificing nothing. The new XPS 15z is a fresh start, although it carries over a few touches, such as the inset lid hinges that move the screen slightly closer to the user. Otherwise, this is a sleek metallic box, less than 2.5cm thick and thankfully monochrome — except for some chrome borders around the edge. Yes, its very thin, but not as thin as the 15in. MacBook Pro. But honestly, the two are within a hair of each other. Despite the slimness of the body, the XPS 15z still feels sturdy and solid; its dense, but not too heavy.
The interior is sparse, with only a backlit keyboard, a touchpad, a power button and a pair of large speaker grilles on either side of the keyboard. In many current 15in. notebooks, youll find a keyboard paired with a separate number pad, but in this case the speakers eat up that space (and then some). Although its very usable, the keyboard looks and feels small, and the shallow island-style keys arent the most comfortable for long-term typing. The keyboard is backlit, but at some angles, the pale silver keys and the white backlight combined to wash out the actual letters, making it hard for non-touch-typists to see.
The large multitouch touch pad is generously sized, but its not one of the newer clickpad-style ones lately. Instead, its a flat pad with two large mouse buttons beneath it. Its native resolution is 1,920 by 1,080 pixels. The screen lacks the edge-to-edge glass that many high-end multimedia notebooks include, but off-axis viewing angles were excellent. Note that the 15in. MacBook Pro tops out at only 1,680 by 1,050 pixels.
Of course you still have to keep in mind that these are notebook speakers, and the sheer physics of cramming them into a laptop will keep them from pushing too much air. In use, the speakers were plenty loud, but also thin and lacking low end — at least at the default settings.
The XPS 15z is the first notebook to go all USB 3.0 — or at least have no standalone USB 2.0 ports (there is a combo USB 2.0/eSATA port). With Thunderbolt, Intels new peripheral technology currently, only available from Apple as its main opposition, USB 3.0 seems to have all the momentum to become the next-generation high-speed data port. Also included is Intels Wireless Display technology, which can beam on-screen video to a TV with the help of a sold-separately receiver box, and 3D support via HDMI, for playing 3D content back on a 3D-compatible TV.
With the 2.7GHz Intel Core i7-2620M in our XPS 15z, the system performed admirably, comparable to the Alienware M14x and the previous version of the XPS 15, both of which also have current-gen Intel Core i7 CPUs (although in both those cases they were quad-core CPUs).
Although XPS is Dells high-end multimedia brand, hard-core PC gamers would do better to consider Dells Alienware brand instead. The included Nvidia 525M GPU is a middle-of-the-road part and fine for most casual gamers.
Although the 3 hours and 30 minutes the Dell XPS 15z ran on the battery drain test was acceptable for a 15in. system, Apples MacBook Pro ran for twice as long, and even the previous generation of XPS 15 notebooks ran for an additional 30 minutes.
