Dell Launches XPS 15 7590: Up to 5 GHz and Overclockable, 15.6-Inch OLED
by Anton Shilov on June 7, 2019 4:00 PM EST
Dell has introduced its new flagship XPS 15.6-inch laptop aimed at performance-demanding users such as gamers and prosumers. The new XPS 15 7590 machine can be equipped with an eight-core Intel processor, a performance mainstream discrete GPU, as a well as an optional 15.6-inch OLED monitor.
The new Dell XPS 15 comes in the same anodized aluminum chassis with a carbon figer palmrest (featuring an 11 – 17 mm z-height) as its predecessors, but its internals were upgraded quite significantly. The new notebook is based on Intel’s 9th Gen Core processors and can be equipped with the eight-core Core i9-9980HK (up to 5 GHz, 16 MB cache) with which can be overclocked because of unlocked multiplier. The CPU can be accompanied by up to 64 GB of DDR4-2666 memory, up to 2 TB of NVMe/PCIe storage, and NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1650 graphics processor.
On the display side of things, the XPS 15 7590 offers three InfinityEdge 15.6-inch panels with thin bezels: a Full-HD (1920×1080), an IPS Ultra-HD (3840×2160) with 100% AdobeRGB color gamut and touch support, as well as an OLED Ultra-HD non-touch option covering 100% of the DCI-P3 color range.
When it comes to I/O, the XPS 15 7590 laptop has Rivet Networks' Killer AX1650 802.11ax 2×2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5 controller (based on Intel’s silicon), one Thunderbolt 3/USB 3.1 Type-C port, two USB 3.1 connectors, an HDMI output, a 720p webcam, speakers, microphones, an SD card slot, a 3.5-mm audio jack for headsets, and so on. Since we are talking about a notebook that could potentially be used like a workstation in appropriate environments, Dell also integrated a Windows Hello-compliant fingerprint reader into the power button (select SKUs only).
Just like predecessors, the new Dell XPS 15 7590 comes with a 56 Wh or a 97 Wh integrated battery that cannot be replaced by the owner. A model with a lower-capacity battery weighs 1.8 kilograms, whereas a model with a higher-capacity battery weighs 2 kilograms.
Dell says that the new XPS 15 7590 will be available shortly starting at $999.99 for a quad-core Full-HD SKU as well as $1,899.99 for a version with an OLED display.

One thing to note I was willing to give AMD GPU a chance with XPS 15 2in1, it better than integrated and even the older NVidia in Y50 but I wish it had option to integrated NVidia based GPU in EMiB - that is why I purchase it - the idea of CPU / GPU / Graphics memory so closely connected got my interest.Jorsher - Saturday, June 8, 2019 - link
This is great for what I use it for... Movies, photo editing, and general use. It's still a superior quality screen, even if you game at 1080p.Fortunately, there are options.

You mean 5 GHz for 12 femtoseconds before it overheats and thermally throttles? Gotcha.willis936 - Sunday, June 9, 2019 - link
Considering one clock cycle would be 17 thousand times longer than 12 femtoseconds, I’m going to go on a limb and say it will be able to sustain 5 GHz longer than that.peterfares - Friday, June 7, 2019 - link
I REALLY hope they have improved the VRM design and cooling for them. At my startup we have a few XPS 15 9560's and if you try gaming on them the VRMs overheat and the CPU throttles to 800MHz until the VRMs cool down. There is zero cooling on the VRMs, no heatsink or anything. I hear the 9570 is even worse since the CPU and GPU use even more power and have the same exact VRM and cooling.Skeptical123 - Monday, June 10, 2019 - link
Rip, I assume that is a problem dells does not run into much. Since this is one of Dells most space constrained systems with such a range of high-end spec options. I assume this leads to a few engineering gaps... I hope they buffed up the VRMs in this version :)MDD1963 - Friday, June 7, 2019 - link
Lots of laptops sound good or even awesome (specs-wise)on paper, then quickly throttle under moderately heavy gaming loads...; let's all hope this is not the case here....germ65 - Friday, June 7, 2019 - link
Sorry, too many problems with Dell XPS machines. Not a reliable choice, no matter how tempting the specs may be. Waiting for Lenovo P1 update.halcyon - Friday, June 7, 2019 - link
Another year of XPS and:- it still thermally throttles hard
- killer wireless must immediately be swapped for Intel (hope they haven't soldered it) jnless you like constantly dropping wifi
- audio from 3.5mm is totally hissy low-quality crap not shielded enough against RF mobile signals
- the keyboard is still crap if you are a touch typist / programmer and have ever used a proper Lenovo keyboard
XPS = never again (at least not until they redesign the whole innards , incl components and cooling and replace the keyboard)

I've a 2015 Dell Latitude 7350 and the keyboard is fantastic. I'd been led to believe that Dells have good keyboards. Any other opinions on this subject?
