Our review here will instead focus on the CPU and its supposed advantages over the Core i7 alternative.Ĭurrent SKUs of the include the Core i5-8300H, Core i7-8750H, or Core i9-8950HK. We recommend checking out our existing reviews on the XPS 15 for more information on the chassis, display, and its features since the visual design of the has remained essentially unchanged since the days. Our test unit today represents the highest-end configuration that the has to offer and we're especially excited to see how it performs when compared to the lower-end Core i5 and i7 SKUs. While 15-inch laptops aren't uncommon, the XPS 15 is special for being so thin and compact while offering Core i9, discrete Nvidia graphics, and 4K touchscreen options all in one. The XPS 15 is Dell's premier consumer laptop and it carries premier hardware to back it all up.
