Dell XPS 15 (9520) One Year Later - BE WARNED!

Hi Chenh,can you please tell me how can i download/buy that blue-orange wallpaper for my laptop ? it is amazing.I will be waiting for your reply.Thank you in advance

I have the highest spec, 3.5k display, 64gb ram, 12900hk, Nvidia 3050Ti and 2TB

Damn the battery isn't that strong compared to b4, and i could hardly squeeze 6 hours on light use
2ndly.. the heat and fan noise when gaming or emulating

Lastly, some bugs might just pop in, and you would not be able to use your wifi or Bluetooth until you restart your p.c, and if you do, it will stay on restart screen untill you force to power off by holding on to the power butting... Anyway, I still enjoy using my xps 15,and I have up to 2027 until my warranty expires

Emulating games on it will make you cry sometimes 😂😂

just got 9500 ,GPU failed similar like MSIs do ,can imagine manufactured on same line. luckily had warranty and Dell changed the MB.

Ssd problem. I have this problem with Lenovo without plug in charger it does not even boot. When plug in it boots up and work for 2 to 3 minutes only than again blue screen error. It was very hard for me to recover all data

Ayo almost 90% of your video is valid but the laptop issue that you had to return is a Windows issues

I have the exact same problem with my xps 15. Total trash. Mine is only 3 months old. What's even worse is the support which is from India I either can't understand what they are saying or they are just reading from a generic book that is totally useless.

I didn't listen to you, bought the laptop and now I have the same problem 😀

Good analysis. However: Bluetooth is Bluetooth, which is an overcomplicated standard. Any combination of BT master and BT device may fail because they implement only "relevant" parts of the standard for themselves. I've seldomly have had no problems at all with any headphone set: Windows, Linux, new nor old headphones.

Thanks for posting this... understand why I got such a good deal on a refurb as we are experiencing exactly the same issues.

Part of the issues you experienced with your ssd i suspect was caused by bitlocker that you setup. The heating up issue can be solved with replacing the thermal paste with liquid metal that alone can get the temperature down by 10 degrees

What do you think about the Dell Precision 5760 Intel Xeon W-11855M RTX A3000? I have a lot of overheating issues, is that true?

Thank you for the honest review and insights. I have been using Dell laptop and planning to make an upgrade. I'm happy I randomly check TouTube reviews and found your channel.

From where are the wallpapers?

The blue screen happened to me

I loved my Dell XPS 15, had to give it to my daughter who also fell in love with it, I currently have an HP Envy 16, but wish I would’ve gotten another Dell XPS 15. Sorry you couldn’t love yours, but great video.

This is also my main laptop and I want so badly to love it but it’s sucks :( so disappointing

I am using xps 15 9570 and Heating problem is real pain in all of that .. I even Clean my laptop and apply paste on CPUz GPU but it drop like 5° only... Except this issue this is one of the best laptop for me . i am planning to buy huawei mateX pro What's your thoughts on that..

This laptop really sucks. As an architecture major, I had this laptop blue screen on me every now and then causing me to redo parts of my projects. And yeah, I also had to press the power button on and off again to get out of the stupid bitlocker and repair tool screen. Just two weeks ago, my XPS decided to bootloop before turning into a complete black screen. I tried retrieving my files but apparently they all disappeared. The worst part was, this was happening during the day in which my assignment was due. So, I ended up losing a year's worth of data, 4 weeks worth of work and I came into class with nothing to show for. I tried explaining my situation to my instructor but he tells me that "This is an excuse that people who are already behind make. You don't have your prints - you don't have your model. I can make a fucking model without a computer. You failed this assignment - you already failed this class. Go, do what you need to do..." So I spend the whole day trying to fix this junk of a laptop, but I ended up having to factory reset it. By then, I realised that it was too late to catch up on work, my excuse is invalid, and I lost everything. So, I decided to drop my studio class, but I couldn't drop it without dropping it's other two corequisites. So now, I'm a year behind from graduating. Imagine, a laptop that literally decides your fate. Lucky, I still have my warranty. I believe it's about time I should use it given the amount of pain this laptop caused me.

Did you find yourself a portable windows option, preferably within the m2 mba 16g price range? I've been a lifelong windows user looking to shift to a portable machine now (after my HP Omen just gave out) but it looks like there's just nothing better than the m2 mba in that price range.

Great content btw! Keep up the honest reviews.

My xps15 has had screen replaced twice, and motherboard replaced twice and still has same random problem: when waking from sleep, screen stays black. Only option is to force shut down.

Is the Apple MacBook Air not an option?

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm always stumped by reviews that put Dell's XPS on par with something like a MacBook. Ya, no! It's a good laptop but overpriced and always feels like playing the lottery when booting it up. It mostly works but it's far from flawless. I can only say that about my 16" M1 Pro. I currently own this year's 9530 with i9 and RTX 4070. I've noticed improvements on the quality control side of things. Yay, Dell! But it's still only months old. I worry. My experiences with earlier iterations, 7590 and 9500, taught me that skill: worrying. What do you plan to pick up next? Lenovo's Legion line piques my interest, although my company will never subsidize a gaming laptop.

I JUST RANDOMLY REMEMBERED YOU TODAY, i am so glad you are still goin g.

Sounds like your fans needed a cleaning. You can also add thermal pads and paste to fix the heating issue. Reinstall your audio drivers and check for dust on the ports. XPS 15 still has one of the longest battery life on the market. Your blutooth problem might require the bios update or a driver reinstall. The hard drive issue can be fixed by changing bios settings.

I was looking for new laptop because I will enter University. So I was planning to get the XPS 15 or XPS 17. Seeing this issues I’m a bit worried. I shall look for other brands. Btw bro, which windows laptop would you recommend? I will use it for University stuffs, entertainment, and some small AI training projects.

not that i'd be able to afford the laptop but at least I know its one to avoid 😅 great video as always!

I got a similar laptop with an RTX 4070 for half the price 💀

🔥🔥🔥🔥
