Pros and Cons

Dell XPS 15 9520

Strengths

The battery life is a heck of a lot better than the 9210 from last year, even beating the zephrus.
The performance improvement over last generation is better in every way.
The 127h is actually leading the pack in a lot of cases and can beat the blade 15's 12h in most cases.
It has a great build quality, display, keyboard, and trackpad making for an amazing experience.
It won't have any problems getting perfectly playable frame rates in most games if you turn down the detail settings just a bit.

Weaknesses

The screen is limited to 60Hz which will be a really bad experience for gaming.
The webcam quality could be improved, defeating the purpose of having a productivity-focused audience.
It's not suitable for gaming due to slow results and 60Hz screen.
The GPU power sharing on all the L base laptops is done differently affecting performance in some situations.
There are little things like a bad built-in deck and webcam that need improvement next year.

Dell Precision 17 5770

Strengths

The combination of aluminum and carbon fiber has both looks and durability, making it a great design choice.
The laptop has four Thunderbolt 4 ports for strength in numbers.
The keyboard generally has large keys with good key travel and clicky feedback, and the pad is smooth and responsive.
The 4K UHD display offers excellent angles and a max brightness of 540 nits, making it suitable for working in bright conditions or outside.
The display shows full or near-full coverage of the sRGB, Adobe RGB, and DCI-P3 gamut, with excellent color accuracy results.
The device performs well among its workstation competitors due to the large performance increase from Tiger Lake to Elder Lake on the GPU end.

Weaknesses

There's no LAN port or any HDMI ports, just an SD card reader and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The lack of a numpad might be a drawback for some users.
The RXT A2000 doesn't lead the performance charts, and the device's GPU maintains a clock speed of around 1600 MHz throughout stress tests.
The outside temperature maxes out at 49 degrees Celsius during stress testing, which is a bit high.
The laptop is rather expensive compared to its competitors.
During stress testing, the Core i7-12700H drops its clock speeds heavily in the later stages.
