Thin and light: The sleek design – starting at less than 4.4lbs/2.01kg1 and 0.3”- 0.7”/8 - 18mm thin – maximizes your mobility. 

Tough stuff: The machined aluminum construction is precision cut from a single block of aluminum for a sturdy, durable chassis. 

Cool under pressure: The carbon fiber base is strong and thin like aluminum while also being lighter and cooler to the touch. 

Resists life’s “oops” moments: The edge-to-edge Corning Gorilla Glass NBT display is up to 10 times more scratch resistant than soda lime glass, so it helps prevent scuffs caused by handling, cleaning or wiping.

Maximum performance

Keep going: Power though a long day. Plus, use your XPS 15 to charge your other mobile devices even when it’s off. 

Maximum Storage and Responsiveness: Enjoy a hard drive large enough for all of your work and ultimate responsiveness with a solid-state drive (SSD). Boot and resume in seconds with SSD and Intel Rapid Start technology and get fast access to your favorite multimedia and apps thanks to the standard hard drive, SSD and Intel Smart Response.


Stellar audio

My go to laptop is a MBPr which I use 75% of the time, but my business uses custom software that is exclusive to Win so I have always had another machine that is dedicated to windows. I realize that I could load parallels or run boot camp, but my personal preference is to dedicated machines. That being said I have been looking for a Windows laptop that comes close to a MBPr and the Dell is pretty darn close. I will spare the spec comparisons as they are fairly even. I will also not compare OSs as I am not a fan of Win 8 at all (although I am getting used to it).

Overall the XPS is a fine machine. The screen is gorgeous and as good if not better than the MBPr.The system is very fast and responsive. Keyboard is comfortable with good backbit keys. Build quality is very good and feels solid. Overall a beautiful machine.

My only complaints are that the fan noise is significantly louder than than the silent MBP and that the adaptive brightness controls do not work well and you need to turn them off. My biggest complaint is that the track-pad is not great. In many ways the best thing about macbooks are their superb track-pads. The XPS track-pad is quite good for a Win machine but still does not touch the MBP. The other thing to note is that at BEST you get about 3 hours on battery.

The best advice I can give is do NOT buy the non SSD version of this machine. I bought the 1TB / 32GB mSATA hybrid drive unit first and had to return it. The HD drive on that unit made a loud and irritating clicking sound and the fan noise was excessive.

I received my Dell XPS 15-8949sLV on August 25, 2014. The screen temporarily looked great for four months. On December 31, 2014, the screen became defective. Vertical red lines ran the length of the left side of the screen. I contacted Dell's Customer Service on New Years Eve to resolved this problem. However, communicating with the representative was very challenging because of a language barrier. Apparently, it was challenging for the representative also. The representative ordered a 1920 x 1080 resolution screen (FHD) to replace what I thought was a 3200 x 1800 resolution screen (WQHD+).

On January 5, 2015, a Dell certified technician replaced my laptop's display with a reconditioned 1920 x 1080 resolution screen. My Dell XPS 15-8949sLV indicated a 3200 x 1800 resolution screen both on the invoice and on the decal located on the laptop's keyboard. I contacted Dell's Customer Service again. A language barrier and/or lack of technical knowledge existed in this 2 ½ hour phone conversation. Finally, a Technical Supervisor joined the conversation and alleged that I purchased a Dell XPS 15 with a 1920 x 1080 resolution screen. Furthermore, he stated that Dell only had 1920 x 1080 resolution screens to be used as replacement screens.

***** I would check the native resolution of your screen immediately upon delivery and then keep your fingers crossed that you never need a replacement screen.*****

Dell's Corporate Office contacted me on January 6, 2015. His best offer was to resend another technician with a different refurbish screen, hoping that the next refurbish screen will satisfy me. He showed no compassion for the inconveniences caused by Dell's failures and mistakes.

I bought this specifically for editing raw camera images in Lightroom and Photoshop while traveling. I have no issues, just a headache with scaling in Photoshop CS6. I also wouldn't mind it being slightly smaller but the XPS 13 doesn't have the horsepower for me.

This laptop looks and feels awesome. The keyboard feels pretty good and the silicon around it is nice and soft. Wish the wrist rest area was slightly smaller. Keyboard is a little too far back.
Problems with certain software being able to scale to the large screen resolution. Some installation windows for apps you can't read. You can't resize the window to read the text that is blown up due to improper scaling. Photoshop CS6 does not scale properly and everything is extremely small. Adobe refuses to fix this and make you buy the new Creative Cloud subscription to fix. Adobe's problem though, not the machine.

Adobe Lightroom 5 works perfectly.

No heating issues or loud fan noises. I use on desk or fanless lapdesk.

Loving Windows 8.1 with this touchscreen. Everyone I show it off to is amazed by this machine.

I keep in Lowepro camera backpack with laptop pocket. No problems on plane carrying this with a Canon DLSR and two telephoto L lenses along with wide and 600 flash. I was worried about size but it's great.

Considering MacBook Pro? Please. You actually want this carbon fiber beast! TOUCHSCREEN FOLKS!

You just have to put up with rare resolution headaches with this machine. Beware. I plan to upgrade to Adobe CC in a year and then no issues at all.

I bought the Top of the Line Microsoft Version,
Dell XPS 15-8949sLV 15.6-Inch Touchscreen...
Dell Computer

THIS COMPUTER ROCKS. It is extremely, fast, quiet, power is amazing, screen resolution (3200 v. 1800) is amazing, and the i-7 Quad Core is a WOW factor. The only issue I had was a conflict with INTEL Wifi and Windows WIFI. My IT Tech expert from my office could not figure out why they had both in this computer, because at times, they conflicted and gave me error messages no one had ever heard of (Of course, right?/) So, when I was on a train and got Wifi, there was a conflict and I could not get onto the WIFI. No one else on train had issues with their computers, but me. I almost had meltdown. Funny thing (or sad) was that Microsoft Tech Support said they never heard of the strange error messages I received. They said I had to go to Dell. I gave them a not-too-kind earful. Their response was unacceptable and I almost returned the computer due to that statement and was going to get another brand new one during 30 day return period. Anyway, my IT expert disabled my Intel WIFI (which was totally not needed) and I am running smooth as a lark since then. I am very happy and actually LOVE working on this computer. Never cared about a computer in the past. And, I was recently at a major corporation and their IT dept. had to set me up with WIFI. When he saw and played with my computer, he was blown away and stated he wished he could get one like this. Yes, Yes, I know everyone loves their MAC with Retina display, but this one blows that away, even with their gimmicky Retina display.

I agree with one of the other writers who said, get the XPS top of the line with the 500 gig SSD drive. Only way to go!!!!

Best to All - ENJOY -
