Dell XPS 15 L502X: An Affordable Multimedia Marvel

For multimedia buffs, the XPS 15 (model L502X) is a generally solid addition to Dell's line of consumer laptops with a little added oomph in performance. Even the basic, most inexpensive model--our review unit costs $799--has discrete Nvidia GeForce...

Roomy, 15.6-inch display ; Great multimedia and pretty good gaming

Mediocre computing performance and battery life ; Heavy and chunky, with an oversize brick

The entry-level Dell XPS 15 (L502X) will delight multimedia buffs, but it's too big and heavy for frequent travelers.

Dell XPS 15-L502X (Intel Core i7-2630 review: Dell XPS 15-L502X (Intel Core i7-2630

Dell XPS 15-L502X (Intel Core i7-2630

Dell's new ; offers a high-resolution screen and excellent JBL speakers. Intel's new Core i-series CPUs and Nvidia graphics are standard, but there are also plenty of configuration options.

The extremely bulky, uninspired design of the XPS 15 doesn't suit its price, and though the battery life is very good, it's not as great as Apple's MacBook Pro. Some configuration options feel like they should have been included for free.

Equipped with second-gen Intel Core i-series CPUs and improved Nvidia graphics, the new Dell XPS 15 performs even better than its predecessor, although it's still just as bulky. Also, keep in mind that the XPS 15 ranges greatly in price, from $799 up...

Review Dell XPS 15 Notebook (i5-2410M & GT 540M)

Bright & contrast rich display with a large color spectrum; Large & pleasant touchpad; Cleverly arranged ports; Excellent battery life; High quality workmanship; Very good sound system; Keyboard illumination; Graphics switching; Great performance;...

Somewhat high temperature & noise development during load; Spongy keyboard; Reflective display

Dell XPS 15 L502X P11F review

Although we've seen the Dell XPS 15 L502X before the P11F is a slightly different ?laptop that comes with a touchscreen. As an entertainment-focused laptop the touchscreen offers a different way to watch DVDs, for example, letting you select options...

The Dell XPS 15 L502X P11F is a well-balanced desktop replacement laptop that will happily deal with everyday tasks and keep the family entertained. However, we can't help thinking that the touchscreen isn't necessary and when you consider it adds £160...

Dell XPS 15 L502X review

Even the basic, most inexpensive Dell XPS 15 L502X model - it starts at £529 inc VAT, but our review unit costs £599 - has discrete Nvidia GeForce 525M graphics with 1GB of memory, a 15.6-inch widescreen LED-backlit display, and JBL-designed speakers,...

Overall, the Dell XPS 15 L502X does a very good job with multimedia, and a fair to middling one with everything else. Its size and battery life preclude serious consideration by airport denizens, but if you're a general user who also likes to play a...

Misleading Laptop

Great Speed ; great speaker sound for laptop speakers ; lightweight and affordable

misleading because even though you have a "dedicated" NVidia card, it is based on the technology of NVidia Optimus which isn't even close to ready to be used yet, and you cannot physically switch the onboard intel graphics off. This is not great...
