2018 Dell XPS 9570 Laptop, 15.6 UHD (3840 x 2160) InfinityEdge Touch Display, 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8750H, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, GeForce GTX 1050Ti, Fingerprint Reader, Windows 10 Home, Silver

UNA VEZ QUE SE RECALENTÓ YA NO SE LA PODÍA USAR. TUVE QUE ESPERAR MUCHO TIEMPO HASTA PODER VOLVER A USARLA. DESPUÉS INVESTIGUÉ EN INTERNET QUE ESE MODELO TIENE PROBLEMAS TÉRMICOS DESDE 2015 Y QUE LAS NUEVAS VERSIONES DEL MODELO NO HAN RESUELTO ESOS PROBLEMAS DE CALOR. POR ESO ME DÍ CUENTA QUE SI LA GUARDABA MIS PROBLEMAS SERÍAN MAYORES. TODO EL RESTO ESTABA OK, MUY LINDA, ETC. PERO LA FALLA ERA FATAL.

It worked OK to start, but then.... The audio started malfunctioning (I use lots of VOIP for work, so its a big issue), so much so that now it can be completely garbled at times. The wifi stops sometimes, for no reason; just now, I am on the internet with my old HP with no problems -- this computer has already lost and regained connection at least five times. In the middle of - nothing - it will start revving up and overheating. The keyboard / touchpad sometimes do not work too well -- I have not been able to figure out why sometimes I cannot type things into Excel or PPT. I hope I can get some money back returning it. There is really no point holding on to it. I cant count on it working when I need it!

After careful reviewing the Razor 15 and Surface Book 2, I decided to go with the XPS 15 9570. This machine does what it says. Ill get to the point with the pros and cons. Note: I did apply new thermal paste, updated bios and drivers, and use Intel XTU and Dell Power Management to get my results. You may have different results than mine. XPS 15 9570 4k, 500 NVME m.2, 16 DDR4, I78750H, GTX 1050 TI, Intel Wireless AC-9260 Pros: Powerful for everyday use and heavy loads. Aesthetically pleasing KEYBOARD (probably on par with the best MAC keyboards pre-2017) Video editing and photography (enable CUDA) 4k Screen is the best in the industry for laptop Fast and responsive Fingerprint reader in power button All ports you need Can game casually (Total War @ max settings >120 FPS; Dying Light @ max settings > 70 fps; Skyrim SE @ max setting >60 fps; Rise of Tomb Raider @ high settings > 60 fps (all these settings are dependent on your own preferences) Heaven benchmark @! ultra 1080 >60 fps. Neutral: Fan noise. Combination of power management, undervolting, and thermal paste greatly reduced fan noise almost completely from everyday tasks (office, web, emails, Netflix, etc.) It will come on very minimally (2 of 10 loudness scale) when using Thunderbolt 3 port to connect dock or multiple monitors. I believe this is due to the heat built in the area which cannot dissipate properly. Another tip is to make adjustments in the Nvidia control panel to only allow certain apps to use the discrete card, which reduces heat. It seems the fan comes on more if you use the discrete graphics card. The intel integrated graphics can handle everyday apps. Cons: Fan noise can be loud while gaming and video editing (4k) Fingerprints on the dash Lid is tight and will require two hands at times Battery on full performance mode with 100% brightness only lasts about 4 hours or so; higher when performance is decrease. Setting dell power manager to quiet mode throttles CPU Screen automatically dims at times even with dim function off. The awful camera placement Thermals could be better (hence all my adjustments Ive made to make it better) Conclusion: The XPS 15 9570 is almost a perfect laptop. Thought Dells quality control seems lacking, I got my self a full working version and it doesnt not disappoint. Out of all the laptops Ive owned, Ive best pleased with this unit. Ive owned Macbook Pro 15, Surface Pros line, other Dell laptops. If you want something that works, dont mind the Apple Tax, and dont mind some level of a closed system, I would get a Mac. (Avoid the last two models, look for a pre-2017 model) Think of it as an automatic transmission car, you press the gas and it goes. If you want something that is powerful and customization at a competitive price, get a windows machine, specifically XPS 15 9570. Think of it like a manual transmission car, you have more control of the car output of power. But you have to know what youre doing. Dell is coming out with an OLED version of the laptop, if not in a hurry, I would wait for that. But its the best bang for your bucks for a machine that will do everything you throw at it with great performance, unless youre a heavy gamer then there are better options.

I honestly didn’t think it was possible to have as bad of a consumer experience as I’ve had with Dell. I’ve gotten products that were “lemons” before, but each time it’s been fixed with some degree of headache. I had problems with my $2,500 XPS 15 since I opened the box when I was on deployed with the Air Force. I had offline type lag, internet connectivity issues, and screen problems. After I got back to the U.S.A. I sent it back to the repair center a total of four times, had a technician come to my work once, and spent countless hours diagnosing software issues on the phone. New issues arose faster than they could be fixed, everything in the laptop was replaced at least once, yet they refused to give me a refurbished exchange. It took 9 months of pleading with mostly rude customer service and technical support representatives before I had a laptop I could even use. Up until this week (about 9 months after the last repair) my laptop functioned well enough to not make me want to deal with the very troublesome technical and customer service. The laptop would turn on but wouldn’t boot, it would take ten attempts before it would turn on. Then, the other night it wouldn’t boot at all. I called Dell, they refused to give me any sort of technical support over the phone since my warranty had expired. I eventually got the laptop to boot, it crashed. I was able to boot it again and reset the software. It crashed while resetting the software. Long story short, I need my password to sign in, but it deleted my profile and I can’t recover it using my Microsoft account because the laptop needs to be configured to use wifi. It’s a bizarre situation that Best Buy couldn’t easily figure out. Since Dell refused to help me for free and I don’t feel like giving them a fifth chance to make a repair (this time at my own expense) I decided to buy a new laptop 18 months after buying a $2,500 XPS 15. I had it with me while I was buying a new one to see if Best Buy could fix it, and as I was checking out, I smelled something burning. I reached into my bag to grab the laptop and it was so hot I couldn’t even touch it. It literally felt like it came out of an oven. It didn’t have any apps running since it had been partially reset and the fans weren’t even running. You could feel the heat it was radiating from two feet away. The technicians were baffled by both my story with Dell and what they saw my laptop do. I bought Dell’s second most expensive laptop and have been treated like dirt. This isn’t how a reputable company treats their customers, certainly not the ones who buy their premium products.

And now, no recourse. Its a lot of money to pay for a laptop that only lasted such a short time. Very disappointing

The description says Windows 10 Pro, but I got it with Windows 10 Home. :-/

EVERYTHING!!!!

Simple the best laptop I have owned - working in the tech industry I wanted a powerful laptop with GPU but light weight. The performance is amazing and I am getting 6 hours from the battery.

Very good product
