Why buy a 15-inch laptop? Well, they're not only larger than the best 13- or 14-inch laptops, but they're also often much more powerful. They don't always need to be big and clunky, either.
Who's it for: Anyone who needs serious power on the go but doesn't want to take up too much room in a backpack.There's no steadier hand in the 15-inch laptop market than Dell, and its XPS 15 exemplifies the reputation 15-inch laptops have rightly earned: They're dependable, powerful, and robust. The XPS 15 features up to a 12th-generation Intel Core i9 processor and graphics up to an Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti.
Where the new machine is different is on the inside, with a new thermal design meant to improve overall performance. There's also an update to Intel's 12th-gen CPUs, including up to the 14-core/20-thread Core i9-12900H. RAM can be configured up to 64GB, and you can add dual 4TB SSDs for a total of 8TB of storage. Finally, GPU options currently include up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060.
So, while you can't put in a more powerful GPU in this system, the Surface Laptop 4 does have some decent processor options in its latest upgrade. The AMD Ryzen 7 model that we tested provides eight processing cores and turns this extremely thin laptop into a fairly powerful machine in certain workflows. Battery life is quite good as well, lasting more than a full day on a single charge.
But most importantly, it performs really well too. The laptop includes a 12th-gen Intel Core processor with up to 5.0GHz in turbo mode, up to an excellent GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, and up to 32GB of RAM. Up to a 1TB SSD covers storage. The Blade 15 also supports Chroma RGB lighting for any customization that you may want. Ports now include Thunderbolt 4, USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI, and the laptop is ready for Wi-Fi 6E. There's even some upgraded cooling to help keep the laptop operating efficiently.
More than that, the Spectre x360 16 has a few key features that the XPS 15 is missing. It has a 360-degree hinge and touchscreen in all configurations, which is another feature many people will appreciate. It supports an active pen for Windows Inking. Lastly, the Spectre x360 15 has a better port selection, offering a USB-A port and an HDMI port in addition to the USB-C with Thunderbolt 4 ports that the XPS 15 offers.
