Pros and Cons

Dell XPS 15 9530

Strengths

Dell XPS 15 9530 is a really nice upgrade if you're looking for a graphics performance increase thanks to the RTX 4070.
The OLED display is still absolutely gorgeous
It still retains the two slots for upgradable RAM and SSD, which is great in this day and age
The audio quality is really good, with quad speakers producing clear sound with good volume and bass

Weaknesses

I wish it had a little bit better camera
There's no redesign to speak of, making it feel like it's still stuck in 2022
You might not need the Core i9 processor for most people, so the Core i7 is a more affordable option
It's still pricey, especially considering the lack of major design changes

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.

Dell XPS 15 9530

The Dell XPS 15 9530 is a solid Flagship device for 2023, boasting impressive upgrades in graphics performance and CPU power. The RTX 4070 provides a significant boost, although not quite on par with gaming laptops. A 10% increase in CPU performance over its predecessor is also notable. However, the design remains largely unchanged from last year's model, and a disappointing camera quality holds it back from perfection.
