Excellent performance, even when gaming ; Solid build quality ; Fantastic keyboard ; Amazing screen

Very loud when running intensive processes ; Battery life could be better

One of the best 15-inch Windows 10 laptops money can buy.

G-series chip provides great gaming performance ; Exceptional build quality and design ; One of the best laptop displays you can buy ; Quick storage and processing ; Good value for the hardware

New keyboard is passable, but not ; Lackluster battery life in 4K model ; Runs loud and hot

Core i5 performance that easily competes with most Core i7 laptops and 2-in-1s ; Thin, light and powerful

Innovative CPU with discrete graphics. First-class 4K display. Two Thunderbolt 3 and two USB-C ports.

Heavy in Tablet mode. Keyboard takes a little getting used to. Noisy cooling fan. So-so battery life.

no integrated USB Type-A, HDMI, RJ-45, SIM, NFC, mDP, or full-size card reader ; Core i7-8705G offers very little performance benefits over the Core i7-8305G ; smaller-than-expected gamut; strange color behavior on the 4K UHD panel ; moderately slow...

Current SKUs of the XPS 15 9560 include the Core i5-7300HQ and Core i7-7700HQ similar to how the current selection of XPS 15 9575 SKUs include the Core i5-8305G and Core i7-8705G. Whereas the jump from an i5-7300HQ to i7-7700HQ can bring a 40 percent...

Best in class performance ; Pixel-perfect 15in display ; Well-priced

Maglev keyboard won't be to everybody's tastes
