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

The CPU is stronger than the other one (i7-10875H compared to i7-9750H) and the GPU is slightly better (GTX 16050 Ti vs GTX 1650). I

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.

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

Kind of an open-ended question. Are you just looking for stability issues like crashes? New to linux but Installed 25.10 Ubuntu on Dell XPS 9500. I'm definitely in the "general user" category not the hard-core command line admin. Seems to work very well. My only struggle has been the app store(s) fi

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
