Dell XPS L501x: An Excellent Mainstream Notebook

 

We've lamented the state of Windows laptops on numerous occasions; the formula is "tried and true", but that doesn't mean we like it. Put in reasonably fast components, give us sufficient memory and hard drive capacity…and then match this with a cheap...

Dell XPS 15 (L501X) Laptop Review

 

In the past many people would associate Dell's XPS laptops with large, heavy, bulky designs that were undoubtedly fast but far from portable or cheap. In the last few years though, as a result of the Alienware acquisition, things have changed. XPS now...

Dell XPS L501x notebook

 

The Dell XPS L501x is a notebook that competes with the Apple Macbook Pro. It has a 15.6in, Full HD (1080p) screen, an Intel Core i7 processor, a fast 640GB hard drive and all the trimmings. It's not as attractive or as well-built as an Apple laptop...

Excellent screen, plenty of processing power, surprisingly good speakers ;

Thicker than a Macbook Pro, graphics card could be more powerful, build quality could be better ;

The Dell XPS L501x is a strong performer. It's not as well built or attractive as a MacBook Pro, but it is cheaper

Dell XPS 15 (L501x) notebook

 

Dell XPS 15 (L501x) review: This Core i7 Dell laptop is equipped with a Full HD screen

Excellent screen, plenty of processing power, surprisingly good speakers

Thicker than a Macbook Pro, graphics card could be more powerful, build quality could be better

The Dell XPS 15 (L501x) notebook is a strong performer, and it's not even particularly expensive. It's not all good news -- it's a little thick and the internal fan can be loud.

Dell XPS 15 L501X

 

For a widescreen 15-inch laptop, the latest version of the Dell XPS 15 is a huge - if stylish - slab of a machine. The hefty base, with a curved cutout for the dropped hinge and stereo JBL speakers flanking the keyboard, makes the screen look slender...

The Dell XPS 15 has an amazing - if pricey - screen, speakers that deliver sound you won't be ashamed of, good performance and Optimus graphics, USB 3 ports and a mostly convenient design

It's clever but it's also big and the design won't appeal to everyone; you might miss the VGA port and if you try to take it with you, you'll miss better battery life

Although you can get an XPS 15 for as little as £529, with Core i5, Bluetooth 3, the combo Blu-ray/DVD burner and the superb 1080p screen the model we looked at is nearly twice the price at £939. You can reduce that by leaving out a few of the options,...

Dell XPS L501x review

 

The Dell XPS L501x draws inspiration from the Dell Adamo, with a small lip that's raised behind the LCD screen. The notebook's chassis is an odd mix of curves and straight edges — it's not as smooth as a Macbook Pro or Apple Macbook Air, and not as...

The Dell XPS L501x is a strong performer. It's not as well built or attractive as a MacBook Pro, but it is a cheaper laptop.
