IdeaPads are built as consumer grade - they aren't built to endure (unless they have improved).
Wait - the IdeaPad at Costco is Intel Evo platform.

This is definitely a better deal than the XPS unless you're playing high-end games. Evo + WQXGA @ 144Hz + better warranty. It is nearly half a pound heavier but you're not buying this to lug around every day. I'm gonna go check it out in-warehouse tomorrow.

The IdeaPad 7 Pro at Costco for $1200 is a much better deal. 32GB ram instead of 16GB, comparable GPU, better thermals, no weird history of issues like the XPS.

Is it better with 1 Thunderbolt port ? Lol, of course not.

What is the return policy on any of these dell xps whether you upgraded the specs or bought the laptop as is like with this deal?


So if there is any issue you don't like about it after opening it, you could actually return it? But do you get a credit back to your credit card or do you just get dell credit?


What if you want to return it and did not open the packaging? I assume if you return it, there is always the 15% restocking fee? So you need to pay that and also the shipping back?

Ok deal for a premium laptop but the FHD+ & 60hz screen is absolute trash. For 100 more, you get the MBP 14 with a way better screen and 120hz screen...and better battery life.

Dell needs to step their game up and get 1440p screens on their XPS line and 120hz screens.

Fair warning as others have stated. I work in IT and we bought about 13 of these for a whole department. Every single one is useless and did not make it 3 years due to heat and throttling issues.

The XPS 9520 has not even been out for one year. When you say "did not make it 3 years", are you perhaps referring to an older model?

We have about five different styles, all ranging from 1 to 4 years old, and 13-15 inch. Nothing but complaints and issues with all of them, and when I ran stress tests, every single one would hit 95+ degrees within the first 30 seconds. A basic HP ProBook under the same tests did not even crack 89 for the duration.

I recently switched from an XPS 13 to an HP Spectre x360 14 (which I really liked) and then back to an XPS 15 (9510 model). I did have one display issue that was replaced under warranty, but no other significant issues beyond that.

My biggest gripe with the XPS 15 is the weight, battery life, and lack of a functioning sleep mode. Perhaps the battery life is better with a non-LED display. The sleep mode is annoying...on my HP, if I shut the lid the device goes into a sleep mode such that I can put it into a sleeve or backpack and not worry about it. Weeks later, it wakes right up and has most of its battery life. With the Dell, shutting the lid puts it into a sleep mode such that the fans will still run and the device can generate significant heat. It will consume all of the battery in 1-2 days. I had to reconfigure it so that shutting the lid puts it into hibernate mode. Terrible design by Dell IMHO.

There isn't one answer for everyone, that is why they offer multiple resolutions. Most people's 65-inch TVs are still 1080p. Plus you will get longer use out of the GPU.

I doubt any person buying a new 65 Inch TV will get a 1080p one.

I had a bad experience with low-performing AMD processors some years ago.

I also concur that a bad product will always be a bad product. I am very close-minded. Nobody should rely on actual objective reviews. Those are only for open-minded people who understand how the world works.

https://www.techspot.com/review/2...i7-12700h/ [techspot.com]

Do you happen to know the power consumption and performance of a comparable AMD processor? No? Can the AMD processor plug into a Thunderbolt dock or external GPU?
if you want to get into this we can - the heat issue with the two XPS computers I was was a common issue among them and was not related to the processor or GPU at all - it was related to the VRM overheating.

try doing research yourself on product lines before posting

SAME! Xps9570 owner here. I had to repaste the heat sink, add thermal pads between the mosfets and the case, while also use TheottleStop… still have throttle issues. Also had audio issues but they pale in comparison. Ill never purchase an XPS again

BIOS updates fixed most if not all issues.
