The 2015 Dell XPS 15 Touch (9530) offers a 4K touch screen, bringing it into the rarified circle of laptops like the Toshiba Satellite P50T-BST2N01 vgp bps24 and the Asus Zenbook NX500$2,699.00 at Amazon that put this new high-resolution display into a consumer-oriented system. While our Editors' Choice premium desktop-replacement laptop is still the Apple MacBook Pro 15-Inch Retina Display$1,839.99 at Amazon, which doesn't offer 4K, it's only a matter of time before a similarly equipped system knocks the MacBook off its pedestal. Though it could be a particularly solid, well-rounded laptop, the Dell XPS 15 Touch (9530) falls a bit short of that honor.
Design
The XPS 15 sports a dark colored, expansive keyboard deck and comfortable matching keyboard with sculpted keys. The built in trackpad is responsive, and has a vertical line bisecting the click area to help with right clicks.A quick look at Dell's homepage for the XPS 15 apple cinema netzteil shows a price of 1719 Euro the notebook is certainly no bargain, but also no slouch as far as the hardware is concerned: Intel Core i7-4702HQ zenbook ux303la netzteil quad-core CPU, Nvidia GT 750M GPU with a generous and fast 2 Gigabyte GDDR5 video RAM, 16 GB RAM (Dual-Channel), high-capacity 512 GByte SSD, moreover to a high-resolution QHD+ display with 3200x1800 pixels. The XPS 15 ships with Windows 8.1 and carries a one year on-site warranty.The XPS 15 Touch dell akku m6500 isn't simply another MacBook clone, though, as the base of the chassis is made from carbon-fiber composite, and Dell covers the entire keyboard deck and palm rest in a soft layer of matte silicone rubber, providing a much more comfortable surface than the MacBook Pro's bare metal. The Dell XPS Touch measures 0.7 by 14.6 by 10 inches (HWD), and weighs 4.44 pounds, making it a hair slimmer than the 0.71-inch-thick Apple MacBook Pro 15.
The major lid has a matte silver metal finish, and the bottom lid is made of carbon fiber, which lends the XPS 15 (9530) the pedigree of premium materials. There’s one of Dell’s XPS hallmarks on the bottom: A hinged metal lid covers the required regulatory label, even though the lid has an Intel logo embossed and the Windows 8 sticker on it. All in all,The XPS 15 (9530) c22 ux31 trumps all three on pure pixel count, since its 3,200 by 1,800 resolution is the highest inside this esteemed group. With this many pixels, it’s straightforward to edit 1080p videos or raw images from your D-SLR without having to zoom in on detail. It has a 235 PPI (pixels per inch) screen, while the MacBook Pro screen is at 220 PPI. More isn’t necessarily better in all cases, but the XPS 15′s asus g751jy netzteil screen let us pick out insane levels of detail in images. With the new version, Dell focuses mainly on the overall dimensions of the base unit and utilizes the same materials used for the smaller XPS 13. The XPS 15 Touch lenovo yoga 3 pro netzteil has a full-size backlit keyboard, with chiclet-style keys that feel rather good. The stylized, all-caps font used for the key labels is actually a tiny hard to read at a glance, which may irk those who don't touch kind. The keyboard also has half-size arrow and function keys, which feel a bit small.To accomplish this feat, Dell uses a carbon fiber bottom plate and attaches is to a solid aluminum frame, which is visible all around the perimeter.
Performance
The XPS 15 Touch scored 2,664 points, which leads the pack, and will be more than speedy enough in day-to-day use. It also offered decent times in multimedia tests, completing Handbrake in 1 minute 20 seconds, and Photoshop CS6 asus zenbook ux31a akku in 3:38. Both times are competitive with other high-end systems, While the GT indicates that the card isn't made for gaming, the extra muscle provided by a discrete graphics card is essential to making the most of the high-resolution display. In 3DMark, it scored 10,941 points in CloudGate (our standard graphics test) and 982 points in Fire Strike (our extreme test), which is better than the Toshiba P50T-BST2N01 (10,273 points on Cloud Gate; 906 points on Fire Strike Extreme), but slightly behind the better-equipped Asus NX500 pa 1650 78.The system doesn't disappoint and scores 3128 points in the current PCMark 8 benchmark test. The XPS 15 ranks about the same here as the other, similarly powerful competitors.
The PCMark 7 result is equally convincing, if not better. Since a SSD is fairly important for this benchmark, the XPS 15 acer switch 10 netzteil is in a position to improve its ranking with 5937 points. Samsung's Ativ Book 8 only manages 3290 points here since it uses a conventional HDD. The Asus N550JV, which is also equipped with a HDD, doesn't fare any better. The predecessor XPS 15 (i7-3612QM, GT 640M, HDD+SSD cache) scored 4009 points.The XPS 15 (9530) certainly trumps its Windows-based competition like the Asus Zenbook VX51VZ-XB71 in battery life, price, and features. But how does it stack up to the Apple MacBook Pro ladegerä
t asus zenbook ux31a, our current Editors’ Choice for desktop replacement laptops? It matches the MacBook Pro in performance (multimedia and 3D), has more RAM, higher resolution touch screen, and twice the storage.The XPS 15 (9530) comes highly recommended, but at the finish of the day if we were in the market for such a system and if it were our money, we’d buy the MacBook Pro.
Keyboard
The visual appearance and the feedback of the keyboard remain largely unchanged from the predecessor. The chiclet-keys are matte black and feature a slightly concave surface area. The backlight also makes a comeback, which is pretty helpful in low-light conditions. Once we got used to the fairly shallow key travel netzteil medion p2212t, but quite good feedback, typing was generally a particularly pleasant experience. They keys make no clacking sounds and the flex is minimal even during spirited sessions. If we apply really higher standards, we have one pretty minor point of criticism: the keys tend to tilt a little when hit at the outermost edges, which can lead to the input not being recognized.Since touch input is supported also, the user can interact with the notebook in new ways: the tile surface of Windows 8 allows browsing various pages, music titles and pictures with the touch of the finger. The touchpad netzteil asus t100 is amply sized and has a incredibly comfortable glass surface. Although properly designed from a hardware perspective, the functionality during use was not always convincing and left us frustrated. This is less due to shortcomings of the hardware itselfwe felt the should use the touchscreen instead of the touchpad and ended up with fingerprints on the brilliant screen.
Battery Life
As a result of the extra graphics hardware and the extra six million pixels on the display, battery life isn't spectacular on any 4K-equipped system. That said, the Dell XPS 15 Touch lasted 5 hours 48 minutes in our rundown test, which puts it squarely in the middle of the pack. The Apple MacBook Pro (8:55) bose soundlink netzteil is the battery-performance leader, while the Toshiba P50T-BST2N01 (2:45) brings up the rear, and both the Asus NX500 (5:24) and the previous-generation Dell XPS 15 (9530)$1,599.99 at Dell (6:49) have really comparable times.The spec sheets mention both a 61 Wh and a 91 Wh batter, the latter of which is only used with the 512 GB SSD, since it takes up the space for the 2.5-inch HDD. Let's take a look at he competition: Apple uses a lithium polymer battery with 95 Wh for the MBP 15, Samsung uses a 91 Wh battery for the 880Z5E, while Asus only supplies a 59 Wh power source with the N550JV lenovo flex 2 14d akku. while the Asus only manages 4 hours because of its small battery. The predecessor with the 65 Wh also has no chance here. The version with the 61 Wh battery (smaller US configuration) should have a run time that's about 30 % shorter. During normal use, we would thus anticipate a battery life of about 5 to 6 hours.
Conclusion
There's a good deal to like about the Dell XPS 15 Touch (9530), from its 4K touch screen to its refined style and style and premium construct very good good quality. If you have a collection of material that takes advantage of the top-notch display, then this laptop might be the right choice for you, much like the Toshiba Satellite P50T-BST2N01 or the Asus Zenbook NX500. With its brilliant screen and serious components, the luxury-minded Dell XPS 15 (9530) netzteil dell xps 13 is Dell's showcase PC meant to go up against high-end laptop offerings. Unfortunately, its price and battery life keep it from taking the top spot.We don't have any display measurements for the new MBP 15 yet. Assuming that the new MacBook makes use of the same panel as last year's Retina model, the displays ought to be neck-on-neck. Dell akku np530u3c has a few more pixels resolution with each other with better brightness and contrast (and a touchscreen, if that need to be important), but trails the Apple notebook in color accuracy. Dell's notebook is inaudible during idle, but gets quite warm under load conditions. The important areas of the XPS 15 stay always inside an acceptable range, however. From our own experience and some initial reviews on the Internet, we would count on the MacBook Pro 15 surface pro 3 ladegerät to behave extremely similar. The measured battery life is also extremely comparable to Apple's estimate for the MBP 15 on their website.
