Moving from a 13-inch laptop to a 15-inch model can be challenging, especially if you’re as used to smaller sizes as I am. I was hoping for something closer to Microsoft’s Surface Book keyboard. It feels like it could be a little bigger given the extra space here, and the keys are a little mushy. Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of the keyboard on the XPS 15. The XPS 15 looks like Dell blew up the XPS 13 Dell’s XPS 15 trackpad feels as big and smooth to use as Apple’s MacBook Pro Retina. I hope every laptop maker gets this right in 2016. Dell’s soft finish makes it really comfortable to use, and I didn’t notice any weird cursor issues during my testing. The slightly larger size helps a lot, and it feels like I can scroll forever on the glass pad. Dell improved its trackpad on the XPS 13, and it’s even better with the XPS 15. Windows trackpads aren’t as bad as they used to be, but you still have to pick the right laptop, otherwise it’s very hit and miss. The real difference here is the bigger trackpad. It’s refreshing, and it feels like a sturdy companion for all my work needs.ĭell has kept the combination of an aluminum finish and a wedge shape it used on the XPS 13. Just like the XPS 13, there’s no crazy hinge or flipping display, just a pure laptop. I love that Dell, for the most part, has stuck to the basics with the XPS 15. It’s almost identical on the outside, apart from the size and layout of the keyboard and trackpad. The XPS 15 looks like Dell took the XPS 13 and blew it up into a larger model.
