Dell XPS 15 9530 RTX 4070 laptop review: Both impressive and underwhelming

50 W GeForce RTX 4070 graphics. Whereas the 2022 XPS 15 topped out at GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics, this year's model has upped the ante to a GeForce RTX 4070. As impressive as that may sound on paper, there are significant compromises that users ought to be aware of before pulling the trigger on the latest 2023 model.

Allen Ngo 👁, Published 04/24/2023 🇸🇪 🇫🇷 ...

The XPS 15 9530 is an internal update over the 2022 XPS 15 9520. The 12th gen Alder Lake-H CPUs and Nvidia Ampere GPUs on last year's model have been upgraded to 13th gen Raptor Lake-H and Ada Lovelace options, respectively. Otherwise, the chassis and display options remain identical year-over-year and so we recommend checking out our existing reviews on the XPS 15 9520, 9510, and 9500 to learn more about the physical features of the model.

Our specific review unit is a higher-end configuration with the Core i7-13700H, RTX 4070, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, and glossy 3.5K OLED touchscreen for approximately $2800 USD. Other SKUs are available with the faster Core i9-13900H, slower RTX 4060, or lower resolution matte FHD+ panel. Note that this is one of the very few laptops with a 50 W GeForce RTX 4070 compared to 100 W or more on most other laptops with the same GPU.

Competitors include other high-end 15-inch multimedia laptops like the Asus Zenbook Pro 15, MSI Summit E15, Gigabyte Aero 15, or the Razer Blade 15 Studio.

Communication

An Intel AX211 comes standard for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 support. We're able to connect to our Asus AXE11000 Wi-Fi 6 network without issues, but the laptop would strangely not recognize or connect to our 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6E network. Other Wi-Fi 6E-enabled devices like the Pixel 7 Pro could recognize and connect to our 6 GHz network without any problems.

Webcam — 1 MP Resolution Is Getting Embarassing

The latest XPS 15 *still* relies on a low resolution 1 MP/720p webcam with no privacy shutter despite its >$2000 USD asking price. Competing models like the HP Spectre x360 16 or Razer Blade series have already moved on to 2 MP or even 5 MP sensors. Needless to say, picture quality is very blurry on an otherwise beautiful OLED display. At least IR is supported.

Dell says the low resolution webcam is a consequence of having one of the narrowest bezels on a laptop. A higher resolution webcam would purportedly thicken the bezel.

Maintenance

Accessories and Warranty

Dell still includes in a handy USB-C to USB-A and HDMI adapter inside every retail box which we appreciate. The usual one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies.

Display — 3.5K Samsung OLED Still Looks Amazing

Dell utilizes the same Samsung 156XG01 OLED panel on its 2023 and 2022 XPS 15 models for a similar viewing experience between them. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as the Samsung panel still offers both full DCI-P3 colors and a sharp picture, but we would love to see 90 Hz or faster panel options in the future. Certain Asus VivoBook models, for example, ship with 120 Hz OLED panels for a much smoother visual experience.

The panel is decently calibrated out of the box, but users can still apply our calibrated ICM profile above to improve color accuracy slightly. Dell has finally integrated the various color profiles like sRGB, AdobeRGB, DCI-P3, and others onto the Windows Display menu for easier profile switching.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
1.94 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 0.97 ms rise
1.94 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 0.97 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 3 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
1.68 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 0.8 ms rise
1.68 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 0.88 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 3 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

239 Hz

The display backlight flickers at 239 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 239 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18914 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Flickering is present on all brightness levels much like the OLED panels on other laptops. We're able to record frequencies of 240 Hz from 0 to 52 percent brightness and 60 Hz from 53 percent to 100 percent brightness.

Performance — 13th Gen Intel + GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics

Testing Conditions

We set our unit to Performance and dGPU modes prior to running the benchmarks below. Advanced Optimus or MUX is not supported.

Processor

CPU performance is a mixed bag due to the limited Turbo Boost potential of the system. For example, our Core i7-13700H CineBench R15 xT score would be 19 percent higher than the i7-12700H in last year's XPS 15 9520. After several benchmark loops, however, the performance gap would narrow and come much closer to last year's processor. The smaller MSI Stealth 14 Studio, which utilizes the same Core i7-13700H CPU as our XPS 15 9530, would exhibit similar throttling behavior.

Upgrading to the Core i9-13900H configuration is expected to boost performance by 15 to 25 percent. However, the benefits might be more minimal as Core i9 CPUs tend to throttle more sharply on thin multimedia laptops like the XPS 15.

Storage Devices — Up To Two PCIe4 Drives

Our review unit sports an SK Hynix PC801 PCIe4 x4 NVMe SSD instead of the WD SN810 on our older XPS 15 9510 test unit. Performance is generally comparable between the two SSDs, but they fall behind the popular Samsung PM9A1.

Performance sustainability is excellent with no throttling when under stress. It's too bad that PCIe5 SSDs are not offered at checkout.

Dell XPS 15 9530 RTX 4070: Ø6457 (5082.24-6523.03)

GPU Performance — Half The TGP Equals Half The Power

Obviously, graphics performance should be slower than the "average" GeForce RTX 4070 laptop because of the low 50 W TGP target of the XPS 15, but we had no idea by how much. Now that we have a test unit in hand, the deficit can be pretty striking at up to 40 to 50 percent slower than the average our database according to 3DMark benchmarks. It's so bad that even a four year-old RTX 2070 laptop like the HP Omen 15 can perform about the same as our more expensive RTX 4070 XPS 15. If you intend to play a lot of games, then the XPS 15 becomes a poor value proposition.

The good news is that graphics performance is still faster than the RTX 3050 Ti in last year's XPS 15 9520 by about 30 to 35 percent. Thus, there is an appreciable year-over-year boost even though this is easily one of the slowest iterations of the mobile RTX 4070 we've seen.

Interestingly, graphics acceleration when running 3D software tools is much faster than expected relative to the 50 W TGP. Blender Classroom with CUDA acceleration, for example, would complete in just 46 seconds which is only about 25 percent slower than the average RTX 4070 laptop where 100 W or higher TGPs are typical. The older RTX 3050 Ti would take almost 2.5x longer on the same benchmark. Content creators will therefore benefit the most when choosing the 2023 XPS 15 over older models.
