A Detailed Review Of The Dell XPS 15 (2023) Laptop
The Dell XPS 15 (2023) stands out as a premium Windows mobile workstation, succeeding the Dell XPS 15 9520 released in 2022. While maintaining the external design of its predecessor, the 9530 model introduces internal component upgrades. It is equipped with Intel 13th Gen Core i5, i7, or i9 H-series CPUs, supporting up to 64GB of RAM and a maximum of 8TB storage.
The base model features an Intel Arc A370M GPU with 4GB VRAM, with the option to upgrade to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, 4060, or 4070 Laptop GPUs (with a TGP of 40W), subject to certain limitations. Display choices include a FHD+ (1920 x 1200) IPS screen and a 3.5k (3456 x 2160) touch-sensitive OLED panel. Familiar features include a 720p webcam, fingerprint sensor, facial recognition camera for biometrics, and an 86Wh battery. The port selection remains consistent with three USB-Cs (two supporting Thunderbolt 4), an SD card reader, and a headphone jack.
In terms of gaming, the Dell XPS 15 offers a satisfactory experience, boasting Intel 13th Gen H-series CPUs and powerful NVIDIA discrete GPUs suitable for smooth gameplay in demanding titles at 1080p or 1440p. However, limitations arise with the availability of only a 60Hz FHD+ or 3.5k OLED display, both lacking Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support to mitigate screen tearing. It’s worth noting that the keyboard tends to become uncomfortably hot under load. On the positive side, the laptop features a fast SSD, contributing to shorter loading times, and allows user-replacement of both memory and storage.
PROS
- CPU and GPU can handle demanding workloads.
- User-replaceable RAM and storage.
- Fast SSD.
CONS
- Only available with 60Hz displays with no VRR.
- No USB-A or HDMI ports.
- CPU throttles under load.
