There are plenty of notebooks available for under Rs 35,000/-, but a notebook with a nearly Rs 45,000/- starting price has to bring special thing to the table. Providentially, Dell’s XPS 15 offers a lot more than just a 1 GB NVIDIA graphics card and Core i5 processor. Blazing fast performance of the laptop and the 15-inch model of Dell’s revamped laptop line; supports fantastic JBL speakers along with high-definition webcam making the first for notebooks. Playing 3D content after hooking it up to an attuned TV, makes you take the plunge to get it at this price.
The Design
The Dell XPS 15 has a lid that is made of silver anodized aluminum that does not get sticky due to finger prints but has a dull color. There is a small black bar behind the lid that has backlit XPS logo, which flashes when the system’s asleep. The fine finish of matte continues to the sides and underneath, the areas frequently overlooked by other notebook developers.
The dark aluminum deck of the machine and diamond-cut, silver trimming surrounding the touchpad and the keyboard look modern. The speakers are present on both sides of the keyboard and have a unique pattern.
The dimensions of the hefty Dell XPS 15 are 15 inches x 10.4 inches x 1.5 inches and weighs around 6.1 pounds.

Above the keyboard there are few status lights and there are some touch-sensitive buttons. First button is for launching Windows Mobility Center, which is a mini control panel allowing to easily manage Wi-Fi, display settings and Bluetooth. We are also able to set the backlight brightness for the keyboard. Second button is for the user-configurations. Third button is for launching the Dell Audio control center.
The 3.9 inches x 2.2 inches touchpad of the Dell XPS 15 has a shell that offers the friction and executes multi-touch gestures. The two discrete mouse buttons offer good perceptible feedback, a colossal benefit over competing notebooks that make one click the entire pad.
The Dell XPS 15 has the technology and the looks that satisfy the customer to their best. The service Dell has to offer is never even comparable to the companies in the market. The Dell XPS 15 is a notebook that speaks itself of the brand it has fallen into. With Windows 7 preloaded, it has become the best notebook that we have seen so far.
