DELL XPS 15 VS MACBOOK PRO 2016 SPECS SOFTWARE
The problem is that the physical unit feels rock solid but the software is a total nightmare. I'm definitely not a fan of Macs but this is why people buy Macs. It was like some 18 year old kid was writing the patches and just pushing them out like some side project. Once they even issued two bios updates withing one week because the first one rendered some people's laptops useless.

Within the first year of it's life Dell pushed 11 bios updates, that's one a month! Talk about patch over patch over patch, no wonder the thing never works properly. I can open a 300mb CAD file in less time. Really Dell?! How poorly is this thing written. The Dell Power Management App takes 1 to 2 minutea to open. Computer is cool to the touch, no cooling issue. The cpu will throttle to 800MHz for no apparently reason on battery occasionally (1-2 a week). After two years of use my battery capacity is degraded by 34-40%. I get windows/bios low battery crash warnings on boot up when I plugged it back in on boot up.-As a result of the above (probably) I had 1 of the 6 battery cells fail withing 16 months. The result is the battery is drained to the point that it gets damaged. When the computer is in sleep and/or hibernate it can't seem to fully turn off when the battery is low. There was the DPS issue that went on for months (speaker crackling sound issues, google it) The GPU fan rattled out of the box, got fixed sorta with an in house service (only hardware issue I had (sorta)) Most of problems seem to come down to firmware/bios issues. I have had mine for two years and the problems are never ending. However, the XPS 15 doesn’t win on all counts.Įvery reviewer seems to love the XPS but that's because most don't use them as their daily driver. Plus, Dell offers a lot more configuration options, starting as low as $1,349. It offers a sleeker design with a true edge-to-edge display, a SD Card slot and sharper and brighter 4K display. Winner: MacBook Pro 16-inch Dell vs MacBook Pro 16-inch: VerdictĪt the end of our very close Dell XPS 15 vs MacBook Pro 16-inch contest, the XPS 15 emerges as the winner. We have not yet tested that version of this notebook.

However, keep in mind that the lower-resolution full HD version of the Dell XPS 15 should last longer on a charge. So Apple’s laptop lasted nearly three hours longer. The laptop lasted just 8 hours and 1 minutes, while the MacBook Pro 16-inch endured for 10 hours and 55 minutes. The Dell we tested did not fare well on our battery test, which involves continuous web surfing at 150 nits of screen brightness. Winner: MacBook Pro 16-inch Dell vs MacBook Pro 16-inch: Battery life Apple’s laptop took only 8 minutes, while the XPS 15 took 10:06, which is over 2 minutes longer.

The MacBook Pro continued to dominate on our video editing test, which involves transcoding a 4K video to 1080p using Handbrake software. On Geekbench 5, which measures overall performance, the XPS 15 scored 6,174, compared to a much higher 7,250 for the MacBook Pro. MacBook Pro 16-Inch (Image credit: Tom's Guide) The Dell now has larger keys, but overall we prefer the feel of Apple’s Magic Keyboard on the MacBook Pro 16-inch. MacBook Pro 16-inch: Keyboard and touchpad Switching over to the MacBook, it offered a more dynamic soundstage with a fuller performance on the bass guitar, although the bongos weren’t as clean as we would have liked. Thanks to the tweeters, lead singer Jay Kay’s vocals were full and vibrant. Next, she listened to “Time Won’t Wait” by Jamiroquai and switched over to the Dance preset and jammed out to the bongos, full synths and horns. Switching the EQ preset to Folk, the strumming was clearer as were the cymbals and drums.
Although it was slightly quieter, the XPS 15 offered more detail. She could hear the gentle strumming of the bass and acoustic guitars against Stapelton’s soulful vocal and when the female backup singer joined in it was like musical honey. My colleague Sherri Smith conducted this sound-off, and she started with Chris Stapelton’s “Tennessee Whisky,” noticing immediately that the MacBook Pro was a tad louder than the XPS 15 - not enough to drown it out, but it’s definitely noticeable. However, that system comes with integrated Intel UHD graphics and just a full HD screen.ĭell XPS 15 (2020) (Image credit: Tom's Guide) For that price, you get pretty solid specs, including a 10th-gen Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. The Dell is the more affordable of these two laptops, with a wallet-friendly starting price of $1,349.
