Durum
Harici olarak, Dell XPS 15 şasisinde, XPS 13 7390'dan XPS 13 9300'e sıçramaya benzeyen birçok değişiklik yaptı. Örneğin, alt metal plaka şimdi kenarları ve köşeleri kapsayacak şekilde yükseliyor. modelin yerine siyah karbon fiber vardı. Dell, bunun önceki neslin görsel tasarımından çok uzaklaşmadan darbelere ve çürüklere karşı daha dayanıklı olan daha güçlü bir kasa oluşturacağını söylüyor. Söyleyebileceğimiz kadarıyla, tabanı veya kapağı bükmeye çalışmak, XPS 15 7590'dan daha fazla veya daha az esneme göstermiyor. Bir sonraki en belirgin değişiklik, yeniden tasarlanmış menteşeleri içeriyor. Dell, önceki tasarımın uzun çubuk menteşesini daha küçük ve daha göze çarpmayan çift menteşeler lehine attı. Bu yaklaşım, çok dar bir alt çerçeveye ve sonuç olarak daha yüksek bir ekran-gövde oranına izin verdi. Menteşe sertliği, açıları ayarlarken gıcırdama veya diş çekme olmadan tatmin edici kalır ve son olarak, klavyenin iki tarafındaki boş alanda artık Razer Blade Pro 17'den farklı olmayan hoparlör ızgaraları vardır. Şasi malzemeleri başka şekilde üretim ile aynıdır ve bu nedenle siyah karbon fiber avuç içi dayanağı ve gümüş magnezyum alaşımlı dış kapağın dokuları herhangi bir XPS sahibine anında aşina olacaktır.
XPS 15 7590 yeterince küçük değilse, XPS 15 9500, aşağıdaki karşılaştırma aracımızda gösterildiği gibi daha da küçük ve hafiftir. Bununla birlikte, yeni tasarım yaklaşık 1 mm daha kalın, bu da ağırlık ve ayak izinde daha önemli tasarruflar düşünülürken adil bir değiş tokuş.
Bağlantı
Üç adet USB C Tipi bağlantı noktası mevcuttur ve tümü dizüstü bilgisayarı şarj etme ve harici bir monitöre çıkış yapma kapasitesine sahiptir. Bununla birlikte, yalnızca sol kenardaki ikisi Thunderbolt 3 aksesuarları ile uyumludur. Giden XPS 15 7590 modeline kıyasla, XPS 15 9500 tüm USB A Tipi bağlantı noktalarını, HDMI bağlantı noktasını, özel AC varil şarj bağlantı noktasını düşürdü ve pil denetleyici düğmesini tıklayın. Kullanıcılar, çoğu MacBook Pro sahibinin aksine ileriye doğru hareket eden USB Type-C adaptörlerine güvenmek zorunda kalacaklar.
SD Kart Okuyucu
XPS dizüstü bilgisayarlar, herhangi bir tüketici sınıfı dizüstü bilgisayar için en hızlı SD kart okuyucularından bazılarına sahiptir ve yeni XPS 15 farklı değildir. 1 GB'lık resimleri UHS-II test kartımızdan masaüstüne taşımak sadece yaklaşık 5 ila 6 saniye sürer.

Maintenance
Servicing requires a T5 Torx wrench and a sharp edge to pry open the edges. The metal panel is very sharp and so this should be done carefully.
Once removed, users will have direct access to the storage bays, RAM modules, and battery.
Accessories and Warranty
Dell throws in two useful adapters in the box: USB Type-C to HDMI and USB Type-C to USB Type-A. You'll definitely want to keep them around since port variety is more limited compared to last year's model.
The standard one-year limited warranty applies with plenty of extension options of up to four years.
Input Devices
Keyboard
Dell has revamped the keyboard for the XPS 15 9500. Keys are now larger than they were on the XPS 15 7590 with slightly crisper feedback when pressed for a better typing experience. Travel hasn't changed significantly and it is still shallower than the keys on the HP Spectre x360 15. We had expected a keyboard more alike the MagLev keys of the XPS 15 9575, but Dell seems content with refining the standard membrane keys instead and we can't really complain about the results.
Touchpad
At 15.1 x 9 cm, the Precision-enabled clickpad is 52 percent larger than the clickpad on the XPS 15 7590 (10.5 x 8.5 cm) to be one of the largest we've seen on any Windows laptop. It's difficult to go back to smaller clickpads after spending time with the XPS 15 9500. Gliding is smooth and reliable with no cursor jumping and very little sticking if moving at slower speeds.
No matter how large the clickpad may be, however, the lack of dedicated mouse keys makes precision clicks difficult. Dragging and dropping is still easier on a traditional ThinkPad like the T490 where firm mouse keys are available. The integrated clickpad keys on the XPS 15 9500 are soft, quiet, and shallow with weak feedback when pressed.
Display
The display is easily the highlight of the XPS 15 9500. Even the baseline configuration we have here comes with one of the brightest displays we've seen on any 15.6-inch consumer laptop. When compared to the XPS 15 7590 FHD panel, the XPS 15 9500 manages to offer both marginally faster response times and wider color coverage without impacting brightness or contrast. Pulse-width modulation is completely gone as well for a flicker-free experience.
The 16:10 aspect ratio is immediately apparent for a noticeably larger screen area when compared to the typical 16:9 laptop. The Sharp LQ156N1 IPS panel can be found on no other laptop in our database since Dell is one of the first to offer a 16:10 Ultrabook for mass adoption.
Our main gripe is that the screen is ever-so-slightly grainy which is to be expected from a matte overlay. Luckily, Dell offers glossy options to alleviate this. Note that OLED is no longer available likely because there is no sufficient supply of 16:10 OLED panels in the market.

* ... smaller is better
Color space is at an interesting spot as it is measurably wider than sRGB while being smaller than AdobeRGB. In fact, just 80 percent of the XPS 15 9500 3D color space is enough to cover sRGB in its entirety. The 72 percent AdobeRGB coverage is also wider than on most other Ultrabooks where the 60 percent range is more common, but users will have to upgrade to Dell's pricier 4K UHD+ configuration for full AdobeRGB coverage.
Further measurements with an X-Rite colorimeter show a decently calibrated panel out of the box. Colors and grayscale would improve just marginally from average DeltaE values of 3.9 to 1.1 and 2.9 to 1.96, respectively, after calibrating the panel ourselves. It should be possible to get even better results with more fine-tuning if calibrating against the sRGB spectrum since the panel is capable of reproducing the space completely.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8715 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
Outdoor visibiity is better than most other Ultrabooks simply due to how bright the display is on the XPS 15. The matte panel helps to reduce glare as well which makes it preferable over the glossy option when outdoors. Keep in mind that the maximum brightness of the display will automatically drop from 592 nits to 504 nits when running on battery power unless if you take these steps.
Performance
All SKUs come with either the quad-core Core i5-10300H, hexa-core Core i7-10750H, or octa-core Core i7-10875H. There are no Core i9 options as of this writing and we're definitely not complaining given the lackluster Core i9 performance on the XPS 15 7590.
The only discrete GPU option is the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti which we will test at a later date. It's a shame that no AMD options are available.
(June 3, 2020 update: We previously stated that the Nvidia GeForce option is a Max-Q GPU, but that is not correct. This has been amended.)
Processor
The Core i5-10300H is performing where we expect it to be relative to other Core i5-10300H laptops in our database. In fact, sustained performance when running CineBench R15 Multi-Thread in a loop is about 13 percent faster than the MSI GF75 equipped with the same CPU. We wouldn't expect any less especially since our XPS 15 configuration omits the discrete Nvidia GPU. Had the system struggled to run the Core i5-10300H, then we would have been worried for the more demanding higher-end SKUs.
See our dedicated page on the Core i5-10300H for more technical information and benchmark comparisons. Upgrading to the Core i7-10750H or Core i7-10875H option will net users roughly 40 percent and 80 percent more multi-thread performance, respectively. The CPU performance difference between the Dell Optimized and Ultra Performance power profiles appears to be minimal according to CineBench R20.

System Performance
PCMark benchmarks are consistently ahead of last year's XPS 15 7590 Core i5 — if just barely. It's recommended to run Dell updates as soon as possible since the manufacturer is notorious for releasing hotfixes for its XPS lineup.
Strangely, our test unit would sometimes not recognize our Logitech USB receiver when plugging it into one of the three USB Type-C ports. Unplugging and re-plugging would solve the issue, but it's an annoyance nonetheless. We don't know for sure if it's just an issue specific to our unit or if it's something greater.

Storage Devices
Two M.2 2280 PCIe x4 slots are available with no 2.5-inch SATA III options on any configuration level. Like last year's XPS 15 7590 base model, Dell is once again using a slower budget 256 GB Toshiba NVMe SSD. Higher-end XPS 15 9500 configurations with higher capacities will come with faster drives much like what we observed on the XPS 15 7590 series.
See our table of SSDs and HDDs for more benchmark comparisons.

GPU Performance
The UHD Graphics 630 is barely any faster than the aging UHD Graphics 620 as found on most other Ultrabooks. If you plan on doing lots of GPU-heavy workloads, then you should absolutely consider upgrading to the GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q option.
See our dedicated page on the UHD Graphics 630 for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

Emissions
System Noise
The system is able to remain silent for much longer than most other laptops. When running the 90-second benchmark scene in 3DMark 06, for example, the fans in the XPS 15 wouldn't pulse at all. This may change when we test the higher-end Core i7 SKUs with GeForce GTX graphics, but at least base model users can rest easy knowing that they can browse, email, and play videos without a hint of fan noise.
At worst, we're able to record a fan noise of 41.9 dB(A) when running both Prime95 and FurMark simultaneously which is louder than what we recorded on last year's Core i5 base model. For most users, fan noise will generally remain well below 32 or 36 dB(A).

Temperature
Surface temperatures are almost the same as what we recorded on the XPS 15 7590 Core i5 base model. When under extreme loads, the center of the keyboard can become as warm as 43 C while the bottom can approach 40 C. You'll want the system on a flat desk if running demanding applications since the metal bottom will heat up noticeably.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 42.4 °C / 108 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 39.6 °C / 103 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 23.2 °C / 74 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 28.4 °C / 83.1 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.8 °C / 83.8 F (+0.4 °C / 0.7 F).
Stress Test
Unlike most other laptops, Dell XPS and Alienware laptops like to run their processors warmer than 90 C and the XPS 15 9500 continues the trend. When running Prime95, core temperature would rise to 100 C and then remain at 100 C for the first few minutes to maintain a high clock rate of 4.2 GHz. Fan noise would then pick up considerably for a slightly cooler core temperature of 95 C. We applaud the system for not throttling the CPU even when under 100 percent utilization, but this comes at the cost of very warm core temperatures and loud fan noise.
Running on battery power will not impact performance. A 3DMark 11 run on batteries returns Physics and Graphics scores of 8389 and 1751 points, respectively, compared to 8576 and 1744 points when on mains.

Prime95 Stress | 4.2 | -- | 95 |
Prime95 + FurMark Stress | 4.2 | 1047 | 86 |
Speakers
Dell has revamped the internal speakers to include both subwoofers and tweeters and the resulting audio quality is very well balanced especially for an Ultrabook. Pink noise measurements show roll-off beginning at the 200 Hz range compared to 300 Hz or greater on most cheaper laptops. The major downside is that the keyboard deck will vibrate to the touch much more than expected even when at 50 percent volume. We find the vibration to the distracting when word processing since your palms will be resting on the palm rests.

Power Consumption
Despite the slightly higher resolution display, the XPS 15 9500 doesn't appear to be more demanding than the last generation XPS 15 7590. Running the first benchmark scene of 3DMark 06 consumes an average of 42 W compared to 62 W on last year's base Core i5 model.
Running both Prime95 and FurMark simultaneously consumes a maximum of 94.8 W from the compact (~13 x 6.5 x 2.3 cm) 90 W AC adapter. The system is only able to maintain a draw of ~77 W after extended periods of extreme stress due to throttling limits.

Battery Life
Two battery options are available depending on the SKU: 56 Wh and 86 Wh. Even though we have the lesser 56 Wh option, runtimes are still very long at almost 9.5 hours of real-world WLAN use and the 86 Wh option will indubitably last for even longer. Note that older XPS 15 systems have larger 97 Wh battery options meaning battery capacity has dropped gen-to-gen.
Charging from empty to full capacity is relatively fast at 1 to 1.5 hours. Of course, the 86 Wh option will likely take a little longer to charge.

Verdict — Bigger Screen in an Even Smaller Footprint
From the point of view of an average consumer, the refreshed XPS 15 checks almost all the right boxes. The bright 16:10 display, improved keyboard feedback, roomy clickpad, expanded audio system, long battery life, quiet fans, upgradeable RAM, and new secondary M.2 slot all help to make the system a joy to use. If you've been holding out on upgrading to an XPS 15, then now would be the time to reconsider because this latest revision improves upon the older design in significant ways. The omission of both HDMI and USB Type-A will inevitably be an annoyance, but at least adapters are included in every box which is more than what we can say for the MacBook Pro.
From an enthusiast's point of view, however, it appears that the cooling solution hasn't improved by all that much. Core temperatures are already reaching over 90 C on our quad-core Core i5 base configuration which means the higher-end octa-core Core i7 GeForce GTX configuration will more than likely run even warmer and louder. If you weren't a fan of the unexceptional cooling solution on the last generation model, then this latest model probably won't change your mind. Furthermore, the WLAN module and keyboard are now more difficult to service than before since their components are more heavily integrated onto the mainboard.
We'll be revisiting the XPS 15 9500 soon with different configurations to get a better picture of the overall model. But for the base price of $1300, Dell's flagship system is making all the right changes in almost all the right places for an admirable first impression.
