Dell XPS 15z Review

A decent performer

For multimedia, the XPS 15z is the perfect tool. The Full HD screen looks absolutely gorgeous and the colours displayed are very vivid and really pop on the screen. The brightness levels of the screen are also pretty good and there isn’t much of a colour shift when tilting the screen back and forth. The Nvidia GT 525M also supports Optimus technology, which means the discrete card only kicks in when there’s some heavy graphics to be rendered. The rest of the time, you’re on the integrated card. 

Battery Life
The XPS 15z comes with 64WHr 8-cell battery pack, which managed 1hr and 15mins in the Battery Eater Pro. This is not bad given the components and the Full HD screen. Under standard usage, you should be able to get around 4hrs of good usage. Since this notebook wasn’t exactly designed to be portable anyways, it shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Verdict
This particular configuration of the Dell XPS 15z will set you back by Rs.84,900, which makes it quite expensive and definitely a premium notebook. Having said that, we will say that you won’t be disappointed with this notebook. The design, finish and the attention given to every detail are impeccable and we can see why they’ve priced it this high. If you are on the look-out for a premium grade notebook, then the XPS 15z is a very good option to start with.
