Reviewers Didn't Like

  • A bit heavy, Non-removable battery
  • There are only a handful of preconfigured builds available, and the more powerful options get very expensive. It's also too heavy for regular commuting
  • Familiar-looking design
  • Grainy webcam; Keyboard somewhat mushy;
  • Glossy touch screen is prone to fingerprints; loud fan; screen is low-res for size
  • Thick and clunky. A fully loaded configuration can be pricey
  • Extremely bulky, uninspired design of the XPS 15 doesn't suit its price; some configuration options feel like they should have been included for free
  • Bulky
  • Heavy
  • Difficult to upgrade, Bland design
  • Clunky-looking design; disappointing battery life; no VGA port
  • Thick and heavy. The 6-cell battery alone won't cut it
  • Bulky design, Webcam has trouble in low light, Short battery life (with default battery), Runs a bit warm
  • Its heavy, clunky design will fit on your desk but probably not your bag
