They’re definitely louder and higher-quality than what you’ll get with most of the other Windows laptops, at 85+ dB at maximum level and even some bass for this class.
It’s a dual-piece design with long cables, but it doesn’t include a cable strap so you’ll need to use some sort of third-party strap to prevent the cables from tangling up in your backpack.

The performance takes a minor hit in this mode, and the internal temperatures are similar to what we mentioned above. The i7 in this XPS 15 is not as fast as on full-size laptops, though, as this is a thin design with quiet fan profiles, and thus the processor only runs at around 45-50W sustained in demanding loads. The XPS 15 9520 is widely available all around the world at the time of this article, late-June 2022. These results are on the same Ultra Performance mode and FHD resolution, but this time with the back of the laptop pushed up by abut two inches. Unsurprisingly, the newer machine’s 3DMark Time Spy test was lower than the previous model in balanced mode and essentially equal in performance mode.We’re looking at a 10-15% increase in IPC and single-core performance, a 20-30% increase in CPU multi-threaded performance, and even a slight 5-7% increase in GPU scores as well. In fact, the MyDell has been updated from the previous generations, integrating mostly everything under a unified umbrella.
Against the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro gaming laptop and the MSI Creator Z17 in performance mode, the XPS 15 9520 caught up in its single-core scores but couldn’t keep up in multi-core. At the same time, this is no match for something like a ROG Zephyrus G14, a Razer Blade 15, or even a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme, which offer higher-tier specs with superior performance capabilities.The total amount of Rewards Points that can be earned each Dell fiscal quarter shall not exceed 200,000. That’s especially affecting the quick-burst results such as 3DMark or Geekebench in a massive way, bringing the XPS 15 on par with other ultra-portable Intel 12th-gen designs we’ve tested so far.
