5.0 out of 5 stars High End Laptop You Will Love, July 6, 2011
This review is from: Dell XPS 15z XPS15z-72ELS Laptop (Elemental Silver) (Personal Computers)
I have owned several brands of laptops in all different size screens, but I have mostly stayed with Dell. I opted for all the bells and whistles on this one such as a higher resolution 1080 and the Core i7. Therefore, the configuration is higher end than the one listed here. But, basically it is the same computer. This XPS 15z is by far the best one I have had to date. I might add that I also have a MacBook Pro 15 inch. Both computers have their good points, but overall I prefer this Dell XPS. The design is similar to the MBP, yet keeps a distinctive style. The keys on the keyboard are well spaced and the key travel works just fine and I find it easy to use. And of course, the backlit keyboard really comes in handy. I have had this feature before and love it. The screen resolution and brightness is fantastic, very sharp and clear. The speed is, well, fast. What else can I say. Everything just zips right along. The sound quality is above average for a laptop. The large touchpad is well placed and also easy to use.
I really cannot fault this computer at all. Even though nothing is perfect, I have yet to find anything I don't like. I am just not the type that will complain about the cup holders in a Lexus. That is pointless.
If you want a high end laptop, then I highly recommend this Dell XPS 15z. Give it a try and see for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outperforms the MacBook Pro - and for over $500 less, July 2, 2011
This review is from: Dell XPS 15z XPS15z-72ELS Laptop (Elemental Silver) (Personal Computers)
The Dell XPS 15z is an amazing piece of technology from Dell. The entry $999 configuration comes pretty well loaded and competes very well against a MacBook Pro that starts at $1799. If you choose the higher end core i7 config, it easily beats the MacBook Pro in terms of performance you still save quite a bit of money. Just a tremendous value. Aside from that the system looks great. Very thin for a 15 inch and a fantastic screen. This is certainly an eye catching system. I have no idea how another reviewer said this was built from "cheap" materials. It is made very well in my opinion.
If you need a sleek and powerful 15 inch system this is the best option on the market today. If you like to spend extra money just for the heck of it, get an Apple MacBook I guess.

1.0 out of 5 stars I am so disappionted, September 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
This review is from: Dell XPS 15z XPS15z-72ELS Laptop (Elemental Silver) (Personal Computers)
I just got my Xps 15z today, but when I opened it, the keyboard F3 key fell off. Then I when to a computer clinic to fix it. They couldn't fixed it. Also the battery said it is plugged in, but not charge. The guy from the clinic helped me to call Dell and asked what was the issued. So it ended up I need a new part of keyboard, a new motherboard, and a new adapter. How come I got a new laptop and had so many problems in it? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
2.0 out of 5 stars Battery problems, Wireless problems- Avoid!, September 15, 2011
This review is from: Dell XPS 15z XPS15z-72ELS Laptop (Elemental Silver) (Personal Computers)
Bought this system based on a friend's recommendation who works for Dell. Also was a strong Dell loyalist for over 10 years because my previous laptops were all Dell. Unfortunately my experience with this system has been fraught with troubles. My new laptop arrived and setup was a breeze. However within a week the batter stopped charging and was disabled. After hrs on the phone with Dell and everyone assuring me this was a unique problem, they sent me a new system. guess what same problem 10 days later. Another 2 days on the phone with their customer service folks in Hyderabad who kept trying to fix the problem. Ultimately they sent in a technician who replaced the battery and the system has been working fine since then. They extended my warrant by 4 months to compensate me for my troubles- i guess i should have just bought a refurbished one which is what I essentially got for buying their top of the line laptop.
Now a month later, the wireless card has started acting up. If I step into a room away from where the router sits, it randomly disconnects and tries to connect. Its disconnected 90% of the time. Funny thing is I have a 6 year old Dell Inspiron which works fine and streams video movies without once dropping the signal sitting right next to this machine. I've tried new wireless routers but the problem persists. Called their customer service and they claim it is a software issue without even looking at it and want to charge me to troubleshoot the problem. Dell's service was one thing going for them- but i'm afraid that has started to suck too now.
I would strongly discourage anyone from buying this unless you enjoy being on the phone with a service technician being bumped from hardware to wireless to software to XPS support teams.Other than that it seems like a pretty decent machine that looks sleek, works well when no issues. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice computer if it had complete functionality, September 18, 2011
This review is from: Dell XPS 15z XPS15z-72ELS Laptop (Elemental Silver) (Personal Computers)
I bought the XPS 15Z a month ago. The USB 3.0 ports (both) have never worked. This was quite upsetting for me. I have purchased many computers throughout the years and have NEVER had an issue like this. It's quite necessary to have USB ports in order to do many tasks. I couldn't even connect my IPOD. I emailed Dell and got a response while on vacation and couldn't respond to their email so they closed the case after only a few days. I called tech. support and their rep gained remote access and after uninstalling and reinstalling chip sets, drivers several times and running the Dell diagnostics Dell finally agreed to "repair" the computer. Thankfully they agreed to "fix" it. So I have been without a computer "waiting" for the repair. I bought this computer because it's supposed to be the PC equivalent to a Macbook. I never had these problems with my Macbook.
