Performance Review of Dell XPS 15z

The XPS 15z is a dual-core laptop, whereas the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch XPS 15 and support quad-core processors. And yet, even the toughest tasks cans be tamed by the 15z’s Intel Core i7-2620M (2.7GHz) processor. Also it helps That this system is frontloaded with 8GB of DDR3 memory. It has the kind of power That video and photo professionals will from More Than be satisfied with, judging by its Handbrake (2:11) and Photoshop CS5 (3:40) scores. Though it Did not beat the 15-inch and XPS 15 in these tests, the 15z is still Considered a very fast laptop. Some of this power comes at a price, though. Whirring noises from the fans cans be Heard if the task at hand is 3D or resource intensive, and there is’ Some warmth coming from the underside (92-95 degrees Fahrenheit), although it Did not run hot by any stretch. Some of this fan noise cans be attributed to the Nvidia GeForce 525M GT, the graphics chip, the which showed its gaming chops in 3DMark 06 (8.909) and Lost Planet 2 (37.1 fps) benchmarks. Though it wasn’t as impressive as the XPS 15 (9.787, 38.2 fps) and Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (10.878, 65.7 fps), the 15z cans hold its own as a gaming laptop.

The 64WH battery is non-removable, the which Is not surprising since the MacBook Pro did the Same to preserve its svelte lines. It lasted 6 hours 22 minutes in MobileMark 2007 tests, ahead of the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (4:40), Asus N53SV-A1 (3:51), and Samsung RC512-S02 (5:35). The XPS 15, on the other hand, uses a removable Latch System That fits a bigger battery (92WH), one That bulges from the bottom and scored 6 hours 58 minutes. Still, Nearly 7 hours of battery life, for a 15-inch laptop, is pretty impressive.

As awe-inspiring as the XPS 15 is, it was neither thin nor light Enough to Compete on the Same level as the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt). Dell Had the answer in its now-defunct Adamo line and applied it to the XPS 15z. I wouldn’t call it the thinnest 15-inch laptop on the planet, but it definitely cans give the MacBook Pro a run for its money in terms of thinness and looks. Its speed and battery scores lived up to expectation, but more importantly, you pay significantly less Than what you Would for the MacBook Pro 15-inch.
