Dell XPS 15z

The Dell XPS 15 runs on the third-generation Intel i7 processor, and this quad-core processor is fast. It runs standard at 2.3Ghz, but with Turbo Boost 2.0, this laptop can give you an extra speed of 3.1GHz. That's one of the bigger jumps we have seen with these new processors.

Couple this processor with the GeForce 640M graphics card and you will see smooth web browsing, responsive applications and detailed graphics. Remember though, this is a mounted graphics card. It has no dedicated cooling system, and if you run games that are graphics heavy, the graphics card can heat up quickly, and you will notice it. But whether you are running games, editing videos or watching movies, the MaxxAudio 4 sound system gives you pure highs and deep lows. We noticed it is comparable to Beats Audio with some songs and movies.The Dell XPS 15 offers an excellent amount of memory and storage. There is 8GB of RAM available on this device and 750GB of hard drive space available. 

This device offers one of the highest amounts of memory we saw on a laptop computer and provides you with an ample amount of space for all your important data.You will get up to eight hours of battery life on this computing device. This battery life provides plenty of time to accomplish your tasks on the computer and also benefits those who are traveling.

Having 1080p resolution, and the HDMI port, make it enjoyable to watch HD movies on a large TV, too.

The small design of the Dell XPS 15 enhances its portability. This laptop is 0.91 inches thick, making it one of the thinnest laptops you will find on the market. The thin design makes it easy to store the laptop and carry from place to place. Although, this computing device weighs 5.79 pounds, making it a little heavier than several similar devices.
