Since this is the most common question. I have the model with the FHD 1920x1200 resolution display.
asus gives dongles in the box just saying
Heads up!
Take note that the Heatsinks for the First & Second SSD slots are different! It looks like the first slot is the one that came empty.
One of the most frustrating thing that I've been seeing recently on laptops are those 1x16 high density types of ram. It was supposed to be 1x8 for greater timings and performance for the plug and play user. I mean, not all are enthusiasts. 💔
Hey! Was wondering if it would be possible for you to test out Ubuntu or some other flavor of Linux on the XPS 15? I'm looking for a college laptop but info on Linux compatibility for new hardware is basically non-existant, it would be awesome if you could just quickly boot up a live USB drive copy of ubuntu (just flashing the ubuntu iso to a usb stick and booting, no install necessary) and testing backlight, brightness, speakers and wifi / bluetooth - those are usually the only issues with new hardware. Thank you for the videos!

"I'm the most humble person"
Definetely sounds like something a humble person would say. 😂
I’m fairly sure you’re the first person to cover this laptop as well
he can figure it out
nop
@@popokatapetl6995 while i can't
Nope
Yes I think so too. This is the first person with the actual unit. I can't wait for the video editing review. So I can order between the 15 and 17. Great job on the content 👏 and getting it out quickly! Thanks
I ordered my 9510 with i7 - 16 GB - 512 GB - RTX 3050 - FHD+ around 22/06 (European notation, so that would make 06/22 for USA ;-) ) and it was deliverd yesterday. No dents, scratches, marks or trackpad wobble. Very happy so far! Impressed with the speakers, quite an upgrade from my XPS 13!
How is the battery life
Why would you not save more for the 4k screen
The only youtuber to unbox the 2021 editions of dell's premium xps lineup.I really wanted someone post a video of these.
Me too! Can't wait for the video editing review so I can order one!
Why isn't he comparing it to the m1 macs?
@@RJProductions84 me too.
Welcome to another episode of "Gary keeps getting dented laptops" LOL
And screen bleeding ...
I received my Dell XPS 15 9510 yesterday. I had trackpad issues, speaker issues, backlight bleeding, overheating, and a crazy loud fan. The fan was so loud I was actually concerned it might blow up, I could hear it from the other room. Spent 3 hours with Dell Support and I ended up just returning it. $2,000 for problems straight out of the box is ridiculous. Was really hoping to love it since my 2016 Dell XPS was amazing.
I am having very similar issues. Thats why Im watching this. Cost of a used car in Canada. 2k was a deal!
Did you get the FHD? That's the one that I've heard/seen having this light bleeding issue. The 4K UHD shouldn't have it.
My XPS 17 was just delivered and has wobbly trackpad. The prices dell charges, with these awful quality control issues is disgusting. Shame on you dell.
Shame on your mom
@@mrgibbles09 you can't be under 12, because who becomes a fan of a brand like dell at that age? Meaning, you are using a 'mom' joke as, potentially, an adult? I do hope you are at least 13-18. Any other age would be sad.
@@spinachpies I apologize. I have Tourette’s.
I was considering refunding my XPS 9310 and buying a new 9510 for more performance and battery life but seeing all the issues people are having with a device that cost almost $3000 in my currency is just sad. I'm probably gonna go ahead with my refund and get an LG Gram that's cheaper and has way better battery life.
@@raphaelgohwx my Xps is amazing although it’s summer 2020 model. Guess it’s luck, but more people will share complaints than compliments
So Glad you got the hands on the 15” XPS !
I have this laptop and let me save you some money, go for the FHD screen, you don't notice the difference between it and the touch model in terms of resolution and image clarity and crispness both are identical. What makes the FHD better imo is that the screen is non glare and that is a HUGE plus, trust me.
Need a complete review of this laptop after a few days of usage, realistic battery life, performance, touchpad or keyboard probs, display probs if any, TIA
It’s really disappointing to see a machine this expensive to have so many QC issue. The XPS15 cost $2.9k in my currency and for that price,I would expect everything to be flawless on delivery.
DELL is the worst. I bought it and I want my money back. Problems with wifi, oversaturated screen, fan noise, heating... I mean you name it.
@@techindeep8117 That’s really disappointing to know cause for a fact, their XPS line would be soooo damn good if they just fixed all these issues. I’m in the process of refunding my XPS13 cause the battery life isn’t even good. 5-ish hours on better battery mode with the FHD model? For $2300? No way I’m keeping that. I can get a gaming laptop with better specs and same battery life for around the same price.
@b2hq Depends on your needs. I ended up going with an LG Gram 2021 since it has ports and a great battery life. I would have gotten a Macbook if I could but didn't due to software compatibility issues.
I just got this and the track pad needs replacing immediately! Crazy considering it costs £2000+
Omg a lemon!? What has this world come too
Few days ago you purchased the XPS 17, and reviewed it, just curious what do you do with all these Laptops? Do you sell them back after reviewing?
Only if he likes them, he doesn’t keep it if he doesn’t like it
Performance comparison between 15 and 17, pealese!
I promise to go back and like every video for a past year on the channel.
So you get a new computer, first thing you have to look for a dent, next a scratch, next the trackpad. Sounds like great quality that I would love to spend my money on. Oh and light bleed, oh and on the 17 the trackpad is trash. Good news is its a nice box and the plastic sounds great when you pull it off. Are you kidding me...
If you got any of these I guess you're just unlucky. I got my 17 inch 9700 as soon as it released last year. Not a single issue. Nada. Loving it still blazing fast and amazing screen. Umph!
The XPS laptops seem hit and miss with quality, unfortunately. Some people get a great machine, others get a lemon. The professional reviews seem universally glowing though and don’t talk about the QC issues.
I got a scratched 9500, nothing new. There were similar reports.
@@neilcarvalho8349 They are all bad because you can't get a battery for a 10 year old unit? what? lol. After 10 years the tech of today makes its more or less obsolete. As for what this thread is about, there will be manufacturing flaws, that's what warranties are for.
Omg Calm down
It is a perfect device, but the price range demotivates me a little :(
It's hard to accept any other laptop screen when the XPS models are around.
I think dell should change logo for XPS.
true, the logo doesnt have the premium look that comes with the price
@@zweeeee4343 Yeah! That is what I wanna said.
Have had mine for a year+ and no problems very happy great laptop and value glad I passed on the 17" that I was seriously considering.
x16 ram seems like it might affect performance a bit. are u goanna try to compare against x8 ram sticks?
Yay!!! Finally!!! My XPS 15 9510 Oled is coming from China :D I will have it next week.
I really hope that mine doesn't come dented...
Ever try loading OSX on a pc? Its fun. Easiest way is VM. The most performance is running it native. Its like solving a puzzle.
This is Reminder of Upcoming MacBook Pro. Although the base Size is 14"
Watching this on my xps 9510, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. So far i got no qc issues and it’s been treating me great in the 2 days I’ve had it.
Nice! Hope you are enjoying the laptop!
@@TheEverydayDad Oh hello, great video btw. I’m loving my time with the laptop. Hope you enjoy yours as well.
Hi! Have you this laptop today, how is it? How about the fan noise and termals, because I will work about 8-10 hrs/day graphic design? Thanks
Dell should really watch your videos and take your suggestions. I have been a long-time XPS user, but I just bought an Inspiron 16 7610 with similar specs but with a 3072x1920 screen. Came with i7-11800H and RTX3060 6GB. I upgraded the RAM to 64 GB and there's still an empty slot for another SSD. The RAM upgrade possibility wasn't listed anywhere so it was a lucky trial that worked. Very happy with it. Of course the XPS 15 or 17 has a nicer screen but also costs twice as much.
Surely its the carbon fiber panels made it twice expensive
I'm both glad and slightly disappointed you didn't need the drill😂 Speaking of old school....Have fun storming the castle!
😆🤣😂
Loved the video! I do hope and pray one day they'll make a 1440p XPS 15, but I'm doubtful 😢
Just ordered this XPS 15 last night, really looking forward to it. I had the XPS 13 in 2014, loved it so much until I spilled water on and killed it in 2018. Then I went to the MacBook Pro 13. Thought it would be amazing but it severely disappointed compared to the XPS. Can’t wait to get back.
How do they compare? I want a laptop for vedio editing and I'm confused between the MacBook and the XPS.
@@samhaokip9126 the 2018 MacBook Pro was before they fixed the keyboard. I owned that for 3 years and never got used to or stopped hating the butterfly keyboard or touch bar. I also realized I don’t care for OS X compared to Windows 10. By all accounts these M1 MacBooks are amazing but for me it doesn’t matter I wanted Windows. Been using my new Dell XPS 15 all week and I absolutely love it. It’s a very nice computer. I’d pick based on which operating system you want.
I see the dent
You do great impressions! Do the ideapad 5 pro with rtx 3050!
XPS is my favourite, I have a XPS 1640 which is still going strong 11 years on. XPS 17 is my next Laptop.
I got the 2020 model a few months ago... Kinda regretting I didn't wait a bit more😅
and I'm here regretting spending money on this computer since it doesn't have a vapor chamber and it has 4GB VRAM for a laptop that's over $2k
@@Blackcat-nd7xy 4GB of vRAM memory for this price is the biggest joke of all.
RX 6600M offers 8GB and 3060 performance for the price of a 3050. Dell is a fool not to go All-AMD on the XPS laptops.
Just wait until someone makes a decent, affordable All-AMD workstation. I'm hoping the next HP Envy 15 will be the one.
@@realyee Your point is irrelevant because the specs are gaming capable. Even if they weren't, my point still stands.
Asus Strix G15 Advantage with 5900HX and RX 6800M offers x3 the power of XPS 15 for just $1,650 USD.
I can see many people choosing the Asus over than Dell for WORKSTATION purpose.
@@mini9503 razer blade 14 2021 ftw
it looks great! i love the video editing test you usually do, it's super useful! hesitating between this one and last year's model which is currently heavily discounted so a quick comparison would help :^)
i got the 9510 in black i9 64GB ram 512gb ssd uhd display. mine does not have any light bleeding and no keyboard wobble.
you should make a video about your computer collection. I was thinking of doing that myself
Thank you sir you helped me a lot
Hey TEDD can you review a Thinkpad? I haven't seen any video about a Thinkpad that isn't sponsored by Lenovo.
Tedd? Who's Tedd??
@@HitarthDixit The EveryDay Dad
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
I have this laptop and i love it! I do feel like the mouse pad/track pad is a bit too big compared to the keyboard. that would be the only change i would make to the design of this laptop is make the keyboard bigger and the mouse pad smaller because i use a normal usb mouse.
hey, im planning on buying this laptop. can u confirm that the laptop comes with the usb c to usb a dongle, because i've had various people complain that there was no cable for it?
@@aadinair8450 yes it does. the usb dongle is a USB A and HDMI.
@@LivingWithSpinaBifida ty
How about the fan noise and termals because I will work about 8-10 hrs/day? Thanks
Why doesnt dell just make a model like this with one colour all around and not the grey outside with black inside. I would buy it right away. Just like a full matte black or something
Hello! Great video. I’d like to purchase a Dell XPS here in Portugal, but I’m having trouble finding one… can you please give me an idea were to buy one? Thank you so much.
Huawei Matebook X Pro also gives you the dongle in the box. With the same ports and charge through.
I’m getting this for college
@@samicheaitani5630 mechanical engineering
This is THE video I was waiting for
Have you seen the budget XPS? Inspiron 16 Plus
It has 11800H, rtx 3060 60W, 3K display 16" screen, thunderbolt 4. Seems good but 0 reviews so far. Dont know if it will have power delivery issue
My Huawei Matebok X Pro came with a dongle/adapter for HDMI and USB as well!! Love the thought of not having to fork out extra money for something like that.
Excellent. I have been waiting for a review of this laptop. Thanks for being on top of this.
A question:
I know thunderbolt 4 is capable of driving 4k@120Hz, but is the dongle they provide capable of doing it (HDMI 2.1)?
Also: unplug the battery before you work on the parts. If you were to slip with the SSD and its copper heatsink you could easily fry the whole laptop.
I’m The Everyday Dad and if I can figure it out, you can figure it out!!!
A really big touchpad on this laptop, i like it; thing i do not like is that it does not have any usb-a for a pendrive that still are with that interface the most.
I need an alternative to Dell’s thunderbolt 4 dock 🧐
Hopefully the trackpad isn’t a POS like on my 9500
I’ve read so many mixed things about this laptop line. The XPS is supposed to be the premier Windows laptop and yet so many people complain of QC issues.
I've owned a 9500 and 9310 and both were returned due to a wobbly/faulty trackpad
My trackpad is a point of sale too
I wish you got the OLED version. Recently got an OLED tv now I'm always thinking about those deep blacks. HDR content looks amazing.
Great overview, thank you.
after watching your xps vids im having dreams at night.
Love it!
Thinking of changing from a 2020 MacBook Pro to one of these. Do you think an XPS 15 would be a welcome surprise or underwhelming experience for a Mac user?
I have both, I think the MacBook Pro is better, but again it depends if you're more a Mac or Windows person
The headphone jack on the right side seems like a mistake. The headphone wires get in the way if you are using a mouse. That seems like the only mistake.
Where do you find the screw and a thermal plate for the 2nd ssd?
Hate to grind your gears Gary… but when you configure the XPS 15 9510 with a Core i7 11800H you get fixed with a 3050ti, not a regular 3050.
I'm waiting for my 9510 to arrive but the killer WiFi cards are always janky.
You said it was removable, when you do the upgrade video can you check as everywhere states it's soldered onboard.
Really hoping it can be removed :)
Yeah, it is soldered according to every other source.
The screen is so nice
Hey! Thank you for your content, always good to watch your new videos.
I wonder if you can give me your opinion to which machine to choose (based on your experience of use).
I'm between getting a dell xps 15 (fhd, i5 and 16gb RAM) or a macbook air m1 (16GB). As I need to run something with a unix-based operating system (and I do not really like windows) I would run the dell with Ubuntu.
What can you tell me about battery life and longevity? I want to choose the machine that will last with me for the longest time, and battery life/longevity is a big thing for me.
This is a rough decision as the dell can receive RAM upgrades, for example, being a counter weight in the "machine that will last longer" balance.
Thank you!
My dad had a 2018 xps 15. The motherboard went bad replaced under warranty, touch screen stopped working after warranty and the battery holds 10m of charge after 2 years it’s awful. I did have a 2016 xps 13 and loved it, it’s just so sad how hit or miss xps’s are
Great video! Just ordered mine.
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it when it comes in!
Get this man a sponsorship Dell
Thanks for this unboxing, I recently ordered this one so I am still waiting for it to be delivered :)
@The Everyday dad please add the extra SSD with copper coil. Looking forward to see that
I started to like this channel. Thank you for producing such content.

My Xps 15 also has light bleeding on the left side. I got it changed and it is still present. That doesn't bother me now.
I’m very interested in this computer as a potential upgrade. Do you know if they will make a 2-1/convertible version that will keep the 16:10 screen and the 3050ti?…that might be my perfect computer. Also, does the screen lay fully flat for easier sharing around a conference room table? I look forward to your full review!
no convertible can take the 3050ti
It does not lay flat
@@chuckfinley11 thank you
3 possible laptops that fits your description:
- Asus ROG Flow X13 - this is the best option if you have to buy right now. I had this laptop in February.
- Microsoft Surface Book 4 13 & 15 - rumored to launch in August/September 2021. Detachable screen, best of both worlds.
- Acer ConceptD Ezel series - best desktop replacement. Heavy and poor battery life, but the most powerful 2-in-1 laptops in the market
@@mini9503 Thanks for your reply. The Flow X13 is definitely on my list, although a prefer a bit bigger size. I hadn't heard that the a new Surface Book might come out this year. If they do, I'll definitely consider them as well...although Surface Books tend to be very expensive. Thanks for your thoughts.
‘I’m almost 40’
I choked on my saliva
Bro I thought you were like 19 yo
Dell is getting me pumped man
I'm THE most humble person. Lol, I like that. Will use it myself.
Hi, I just bought this exact laptop. I definitely want to upgrade the DDR4 to 2 X 32GB. What is a good brand choice for this upgrade that will work great with the XPS 15 9510.
Cheers,
Brian
First, I love your channel. I am debating on whether I want to purchase the new XPS 15" or 17". Dell's promotional videos of the 17" notes the infinity screen with the slim bezels allows the 17" to fit a 15" form. Could you please compare the two laptops in size and performance? I have an awesome 15" leather laptop bag and I would be thrilled if the 17" laptop will fit. Thank you.
Thanks!
Which screen is this? UHD, 3.5k OLED or FHD?
Its cooling system look very good like MSI prestige 15 hovever I have a question. Even Thinkpads (X or P series) dont have like this cooling system they have better stabilities WHY!?
Personally like the white
Almost perfect. Upgradeable RAM, SSD and Wifi but lacked HDMI and USB-A input
Please help to see their Adobe Premiere Pro video editing performance, alongside the XPS17.
Also, how much of a difference is there with power limits for CPU and GPU for light 4K video editing?
What do you do with all the laptops that you buy...and does not become your main or the ones that become old...after 6 months until the next new and improved laptop comes along?
that is some serious light bleed
Thanks for the first impressions!
Two questions:
- is the WiFi chip really exchangable on the 9510? It was a fix soldered solution on the 9500 - could you please compare the two?
- Do you see any improvements on the display and colours on the 9510, compared to the 9500?
...I have a 9500 with color banding issues (dark colour transitions e.g. in videos not smooth, FHD display), for that I haven't found any solution yet. I would be curious wether there is any noticable improvement on the new model... Thanks for any kind of answer!
+1 on the wifi request. It would be nice to have the ability to replace the killer wifi card with an intel one.
I checked the service manual. It is soldered on. Cant remove it.
Where can I get it , I check out best buy but no luck and B&H and there out ? Where can I get one ??
Can you overclock the display refresh rate with third party tools like CRU?
This computer was returned and sent out to you
The moment I heard you say the graphics card was limited to 45w, I thought it's unlikely to have a vapor chamber. Given that, it's likely to have bad overheating problems like last year's.
Can you please do an apple pencil alternatives video, love your videos
Take note that the Heatsinks for the First & Second SSD slots are different! It looks like the first slot is the one that came empty.
Do you recommend the new dell xps 15 (9510) over the xps 15 (9500) ? I'm going to buy one and the 9500 is heavily discounted.
I just ordered the 9500, saving $600 on a 1T, 32Gig config. I don't see that the 9510 is a vast improvement over the 9500, once you start using it day to day you will not know the difference but will have saved $600.
Can you test for thermal throttling? I have my XPS 15 9500 and after a year I just started experiencing hard throttling at just 78°C for CPU and 68 for GPU. I was thinking of upgrading, hoping it would be slightly better.
I am choosing between the i5 and the i7 model. Which one do you recommend me to buy?
So there is a small dent on the bottom cover plate, light bleeding on the screen and a scratch on one of the corners of the laptop? After SO many complaints for quality issues of 9500 Dell still haven't improved their quality control??
I think that dongle has already been included in its price.
Do you think it'll be better than the upcoming M1X macbooks?
Oh obviously not lol
the scratces, the light bleeding, the dents. eek thats unfortunate.
I'll be getting the new XPS 13 or MBP 14" this year. Just waiting to see what the MBP has to offer.
I'm VERY excited to see a potential 14 inch macbook.
I think MBP 14 is more comparable to the XPS 15, and MBA is the right competitor to the XPS 13.
Same here can't wait for MBP 14 & 16...
van I have my hands on the 17 if you ain't using it?
