Test scoreShow Context
- 15.6 inches
- Windows
The 2020 XPS 15 is Dell’s latest high-end laptop, designed for those who frequently work on photo, video and 3D design projects. Even the cheapest model in the range (the one we’ve tested) has impressive specs, and you can add to this with higher-spec models costing up to nearly £3,000. This laptop is not for the faint-of-heart or small-on-budget. We’ve run it through our full lab test to see if it’s worth the cash.
