The best 15- inch consumer laptop is going to be better. Intel (Intel) today (April 3rd) unveiled its new generation of CoffeeLake processors, and Dell announced a new version of XPS 15 based on the new chip.<\/p>\n

The laptop retains the same design and luxurious carbon-fiber deck as previous models, but throws in a more-colorful 4K panel.<\/p>\n

Starting at $999 and due out in May, the Dell<\/a> XPS 15 9570 will come with your choice of Core i5, Core i7 or Core i9 Intel H series CPUs. These new processors have six cores and twelve threads, 50 percent more than the 7th Gen Core processors in the previous XPS 15 model (9560).<\/p>\n

In addition to its new processors, the XPS 15 9570 will be available with a new GPU option: the Nvidia GTX 1050Ti. You’ll also be able to get it with Intel integrated graphics or the slightly-slower GTX 1050 chip.<\/p>\n

We had a chance to spend a few minutes with the new XPS 15 at a recent Dell press event. The laptop looks and feels just like last year’s model, but we were struck by the colorful display.<\/p>\n

The new laptop will be available with both\u00a0a 1080p non-touch and a 4K touch screen. Both panels will operate at a luminous 400 nits of brightness, but the Ultra HD display is designed to reproduce 100 percent of the Adobe RGB color gamut. Meanwhile, the lower-resolution model can only hit 100 percent of the more-restrive sRGB gamut.<\/p>\n

The XPS 15 starts at a mere 4 pounds, with a 1080p screen and a 56 Whr Dell xps m1530 laptop battery<\/a><\/strong>. However, with a larger, 97 Whr battery and the 4K display, that weight jumps to 4.5 pounds. Dell claims that the laptop can last up to 21.5 hours on a charge. Last year’s model lasted 8 hours and 23 minutes on our Laptop Mag Battery Test 1.0 (surfing the web at 100 nits of brightness) so we’re taking that claim with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n

The new model has two USB Type-A 3.1 connections, HDMI\u00a0 out, an audio jack, an SD card reader and a Thunderbolt 3 port, which will work with eGPUs. There’s a fingerprint reader for Windows Hello logins built into the power button. Unfortunately, the XPS 15 9570 still has Dell’s infamous nosecam which points up at you from the bottom bezel.<\/p>\n

We look forward to testing the XPS 15 9570 closer to the time when it ships in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
