My only real issue, however, is the half-height up and down arrow keys. Keyboard and Touchpad on the Dell XPS 15 (9520)ĭell's keyboard has chiclet keys that are decent, albeit a bit soft and squishy for my tastes. Apple's mini-LED display goes up to 120 Hz with ProMotion turned on. The OLED screen measures 60 Hz, which is still fairly common. In my use, I didn't have an issue with brightness, but having the option is nice, especially if you're a creative on the go.

The Ideapad Slim 7 Carbon won out here at 139.3 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut and 197% of the sRGB gamut.ĭel''s screen measured 382 nits on our lightmeter, beating the Aero but falling slightly behind the IdeaPad (400 nits) and far behind the MacBook Pro (501 nits).

That surpasses both the Gigabyte Aero 16 (which also uses OLED) and the MacBook Pro (which has a mini-LED display). The XPS 15 covered 85.9% of the DCI-P3 gamut and 123% of the sRGB gamut. I used it to watch a 4K open source film we use in testing, Tears of Steel, and in the opening scene, as a rocket booster's red flames turned a blinding white, they stood out nicely even against a gray sky. 16:9 screens often bump that to 3840 x 2400 due to the extra height.)ĭell's panel is vivid and bright, albeit not the most luminous around. The OLED screen has a resolution of 3456 x 2160, which is not quite 4K, but pretty close (4K, at minimum, is usually defined as 3840 x 2160. The 16:10 aspect ratio provides plenty of room for work, showing more content with less scrolling. Its thin bezels impress despite the fact that so many other computer manufacturers have been shrinking the bars around their panels. The 15-inch OLED touchscreen on the XPS 15 all but floats above the keyboard. On 3DMark Fire Strike, it earned a score of 9,534, falling short of the Aero's RTX 3070 Ti (20,917), but beating AMD's integrated Vega graphics in the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon (3,561). Of course, with the RTX 3050 Ti, the Dell XPS 15 can handle some photo or video editing, as well as basic gaming. It ran at an average of 81.87 degrees Celsius (179.37 degrees Fahrenheit). The XPS 15 started at a score of 11,760.82 and vacillated, mostly, within a few hundred points The CPU's performance cores ran at an average of 2.6 GHz and the efficiency cores clocked at 1.6 GHz. Our stress test consists of running Cinebench R23 for twenty runs back-to-back. The MacBook Pro with M1 Max beat it at 4:48. Tha took the XPS 15 five minutes and 42 seconds, just one second ahead of the Aero 16 with the same CPU. We use Handbrake to transcode a 4K video to 1080p. The MacBook Pro was faster at 1,917.69 MBps. The IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon (AMD Ryzen 7 5800U) fell behind in both single and multi-core performance.ĭell's laptop copied 25GB of test files at a rate of 1,637.72 MBps, easily speeding past the Aero and the Ideapad. But the MacBook Pro had a much stronger multi-core performance score (12,683). The single-core scores were on par with the Gigabyte Aero 16 (with the same chip) and Apple's 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Max. On Geekbench 5, an overall performance test that leans heavily on the CPU, the XPS 15 achieved a single-core score of 1,757 and a multi-core score of 11,258.
