🎮 Dell XPS 2 in 1 15 inch Review - Jack of all trades, Master of one 💻🖱️🕹️

in #technology6 years ago

The Dell XPS 2 in 1 15 inch was created for people on the go.  Whether you are a student, a professional or even a gamer, this is one device that can do it all.


Pros 

-Amazing 4k Screen (gets very bright)

-Thin and compact (for a 15 inch laptop)

-Can play some games in 4k with settings turned down

-Solid build quality (no keyboard flex)

-Thunderbolt 3 (for external GPU)

-Included smart pen (yours may vary depending on promotions)

-Comfortable keyboard


Cons

-Mine came with a glitch that caused fans to get loud at idle (was fixed with a bios update on dell's website)

-Occasionally the track pad becomes unresponsive

-Gets hot when gaming

-Battery life doesn't live up to expectations (about 4-5 hours of general use) 

-Small amount of storage (256 gigs on my model)


Conclusion

Overall I am satisfied with my purchase of the Dell XPS 2 in 1 15 inch.  I wish that the Vega graphics were a bit more powerful to keep up with the 4k screen.  While this computer can do just about anything (Gaming, Photo Editing, Engineering Software, Professional Use) I believe its best feature is its portability.  This laptop is obviously geared towards travelers and college students.  I personally purchased this Dell laptop to serve as my main computer while I attend college as a Computer Engineering student.  

While the price of this laptop usually goes for  $1999.99, I was able to snag it at $1799.99.  I suggest you wait to purchase it until you find it on sale.


My Configuration

-Intel Core i7 8705g Processor with Vega M GL Graphics

-16 Gigabytes of soldered memory

-256 Gigabytes of M.2 storage

-UHD Screen
