Dell XPS 15 9510

As a whole, the XPS 15 9510 is still a versatile package of premium craftsmanship, compact form factor for a full-size laptop, several good-quality screen options, as well as balanced specs, performance, thermals, and battery life. Add in the excellent speakers and alright inputs and IO, and this could still be the get-go for many of you. I do have quite a few nits with this series, though, and I'll explain them all in the lengthy review down below.
