Had the same shit with the Dell XPS 9500 from 2 years earlier. I sold it last week and stripped it of its RAM. Couldnt be happier

Funny. I just rescued an XPS 15 9500 from the recycle bin at work. Stole RAM from another machine that had two 8GB sticks but had a bad mobo, popped in a $40 Dell OEM battery off eBay, and it works perfectly! It’s spotless. Apparently it died a few months into use and they never do anything with jt

Yes, you are entitled to your own opinion. However your opinion lacks nuance/context and you present it as if it is absolute fact - that is the problem. I've worked on or owned models from across every consumer and business line that Dell, Lenovo or HP makes and long enough to pick up on trends in t

Yes can be fixed usually with tape, see https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/ijcvrx/xps_9500_loose_touchpad_fix_just_had_someone/ Got mine to work quite well after that. The wobbling isn't the trackpad itself being faulty, but the poor mounting solution that makes it prone to gaps, so a new trackpad won

I have a Dell XPS 9500 that I purchased refurbished in 2021. It's got a 10th gen i7 processor. I've upgraded the RAM to 32GB, the SSD to 2TB, I've replaced the battery, the keyboard (twice), and I've got USB-C chargers everywhere I regularly visit (office, living space etc). It's backed up daily to

Es ist ein Dell XPS 15 9500 vor drei Jahren mit etwas Vergünstigung von einem Bekannten gekauft. Original war er glaub ich ziemlich teuer. Ich hatte mir daher schon erhofft mehr als nur drei Jahre (bzw 5 wenn man die Vorbesitzerzeit dazuzählt) rauszubekommen :D. Obwohl ich zugeben muss, so gute Bewe

I have been having the EXACT same issue, and have sent my XPS 15 9500 (purchased at the same time as you - 2021) to Dell 3 times now - after which they replaced the motherboard, screen, and hard drive, and yet I am still having the issues you've described. (BTW - after the last service not fixing th

My office primarily uses Macbooks, but I was allowed a laptop to run Ubuntu instead and have used a Dell XPS 15 9500 and I've been using it for almost 4.years. Build quality wise I put it up there with any of the macbooks I used previously . Notably, the keyboard surface is a black plastic, so its l

is buying another XPS 15 throwing good money after bad? I can also get a refurbished 9520 direct from Dell for about double the price but with a 1 year warranty... all of my 9500's issues have been well beyond warranty expiration. I play some racing sims on my 9500 that it handles just fine so I don
