Dell XPS 15 l502x 1080P VS HP dv6t Quad Edition 1080p

Does anyone knows specs of 1080p
Screen of HP dv6t Quad Edition
or any model no.

Is it better than Dell xps 15 l502x screen

how much color gamut does it has ?
Have u seen any review of its screen

But as far as i know its WLED unlike Dell's B+RG LED

correct me if im wrong

 

The XPS 15's FHD screen is commonly referred to as the best 15" FHD screen on the market aside from IPS screens (which the dv6t is not). There are tons of people here praising the XPS's screen.

 

@madmattd I do agree with u
N as far as i know
Hp has White LED unlike B+RG LED
But we cant make conclusion on just what we hear
If we had specs of Hp's Screen then it would have been easy to
make a conclusion
How much better is Dell XPS 15 screen than Hp's
n Where Dell loses the battle n where it wins

 

most top end screens being put out on laptops are 60% gamut, aside from a few diamonds like the XPS 15, XPS 16, a lenovo, and maybe the hp elitebook with dreamcolor? its all I can think of off the top of my head.

sorry I couldn't find out either, although I did research it a bit before buying an XPS 15.

let us know if you find out please!

 

Primarily, the better gaming GPU/GDDR5 architecture is the big win for the HP. The XPS 15's big win is the better display and sound package. Other than that they're pretty comparable to each other.

Size and weight:
XPS 15
Width: 15" (381mm)
Height: 1.3" (32.2mm) front /1.5" (38.2mm) back)
Depth: 10.4" (265.4mm)
Weight: Starting weight of 5.96lbs (2.70kg) with 6-cell battery; 6.33lbs (2.87kg) with 9-cell battery

DV6TQE
Width: 14.88"
Height: 1.23" min / 1.39" max
Depth: 9.71"
Weight: Starting weight of 5.78 lbs

Other features offered by the DV6TQE that are not on the XPS 15:
- up to 16 GB RAM vs. 8GB for the XPS
- 1 extra 2.0 USB port
- VGA port
- Numeric keypad
- Matte screen
- Fingerprint reader

Offered in the XPS 15 that are not on the DV6TQE:
- Internal TV tuner
- 9 in 1 media card reader vs. 7 in 1 for the HP
- Backlit keyboard

Might've missed a couple but those are the most obvious ones, and the Dell's "sturdiness" or build quality seems to be a bit better.

 

@grimreefer1967
btw i was just talking abt screen comparision
But as now u have initiated it
I had booked an xps 15 laptop
n as im from india
i had specs
XPS 15
L502x|
15.6" FHD B+RGLED
i7-2720QM
6GBRAM
nVIDIA GT540M
Blu-Ray
500GB HDD
N 6230+BT
Backlit key board
Creative X-Fi blaster 5.1
9 CELL
n it costed me
$1,784.48

I havnt checked with pricing of DV6
But i think so it will be quite cheaper than Dell XPS 15
So which one to go for
Im not an hardcore gamer
But i wud luv to see all games working
At a good resolution in my laptop

I will be using this laptop for 3 to 4 years
Suggest me which laptop to go for
N also suggest me the configuration

 

The configuration you listed there is top-notch, it will perform very well for you for the 3-4 years you want with little difficulty. It should play most everything at good graphics settings except for the most crazy graphical games. The DV6 has slightly better graphics, but far weaker in the switchable graphics department. A similar HP configuration will end up near the Dell one, they certainly were for the 17" series when I was looking.

 

I only know the U.S. prices and they are fairly even as well, although HP seems to have better coupons more often. If you want the most longetivity for gaming then the HP is definitely the way to go, but the XPS 15 can play most currently available games at reasonable settings.

Configuration recommendations for the XPS 15? Depends on what usage you have in mind, but generically I'd say that the FHD 1080p display is a requirement for it since it's the biggest selling point and without it, it's just another basic laptop with great sound. After that I'd opt for the i7-2630QM, GT 540M GPU, backlit keyboard and Blu-Ray (in that order if you can't get them all). Lose the SoundBlaster software as the included WaveMAXX is all you really need. The TV tuner is a nice feature to have as well but more of a "luxury".

Though if you can afford it then by all means, load it up.

 

i'm in the same boat deciding between these two, and i'm leaning toward the HP because the XPS 15 is jut too bulky.

 

Too bulky? Compared to some of the more sleek machines out there, yes, but these laptops are nearly the same size and weight, the biggest difference being the extra 7/10 of an inch depth of the XPS.

Differences
Height Front: 0.07"
Height Back: 0.11"
Depth: 0.69"
Width: 0.12"
Weight w/ 6 cell: 0.18 lbs.

 

i7-2630QM vs i7-2720QM was big question for me
Im still confused

I will be using dell xps 15 laptop for atleast 3 to 4 years
So wud i7-2630QM satisfy my processor needs atleast for this time span
i meant i can spend money on i7-2720QM
but is it worth it?
to have a i7-2720QM on dell xps 15 with GT 540m
or shud i go for i7-2630qm

 

I saw the XPS15 in store and it is pretty bulky compared to the dv6t. I think because the XPS15 is more square throughout.

 

2630QM is fine.

 

Might I ask what store? I only ever see the Inspirons in stores.

 

If you're going to use it for multi-media, gaming and "normal usage" then the 2630QM is way more than enough CPU to last 3 to 4 years easy... probably for the life of your computer. CPU intensive apps will be fine with the 2630 it just depends on whether you want to spend the extra cash for a slight performance increase (up to about 15% from what I understand). The CPU can be upgraded later anyway if need be.

2630QM/2720QM Specs Comparison

 

HP DV6T:
Pro:
Matte/Antiglare.
Con:
Smaller.
Less pretty.

XPS:
Pro:
Pretty/epic/amazing.
Con:
Glossy, and it's not too great at stopping glare, even for a glossy.

 

@grimreefer1967
Is it worth the upgrade ?
I will play games though im not a hardcore gamer
i usually wud want every game to work on my laptop

 

The 2630QM CPU isn't going to be a problem for any game out there. Your GPU will be the bottleneck.

As far as the 2720QM... if you can afford it, sure. If not, don't worry about it. The performance increase isn't anything spectacular and the 2630QM will handle eveything just fine.

 

Thanks now i will go with 2630QM
which is Worth the money
I suppose i7-2720QM isnt worth the upgrade
coz its a 225$ upgrade here in india
N yaa ivy bridge
Will sweep away all present sandy bridge
Same way sandy bridge did to its predecessor

 

I got the 2720QM in my system. Now that I have pushed it, yes I do benefit from the extra bit, but these new Sandy CPUs are so amazingly powerful that even the "lowly" 2630QM beats out ALL gen 1 i7's, EVEN the extreme edition (when not overclocked). I have some pretty demanding needs with the hardcore FEA simulations and such I push through this thing, but honestly I probably would have been fine with the 2630. Save yourself the money and get the 2630 it will be plenty for you in any game, the GPU will be more of a limit. $225 is a rather steep charge for the upgrade, not really worth that much. It's far less here in the states which is why many got it.

 

@kishor_s: You are going to buy a Rs 81,000.00 (or more) laptop !!! Sorry, we do not know what's your primary requirement/use, but to me it seems that you are spending more money for less.

 

wat should do then
its really costly
here

suggest me something

 

No the XPS is not bulkier than the DV 6/ 7 series. It is just that HP has recessed the bottom from the edges, giving the illusion that the laptop is slimmer. I think it was a clever idea as people do think it is slimmer, when it is not.

The max height of the XPS is 1.5 inches and the max height of the DV6 is 1.4 inches, so yes, it is bulkier.

 

Here's a summary in my opinion.

Dell:
Better looking screen.
Better sound quality.
Better webcam.
Nvidia's optimus instead of AMD's Bacon.
Less crapware
Better build quality.
Minus some fan issues sometimes (software) it's pretty cool and quiet.

HP:
Antiglare screen.
Fingerprint reader.
Slimmer and weighs less.
Slightly better looking than XPS.
More options for better hardware upgrades.
Numberpad.

I'm biased towards the XPS though.

 

LOL. So 0.1 of an inch is bulkier for you guys? Okay...

To clarify my comments:

Of course the XPS is "bulkier" in that it is a little larger and heavier, but to claim it as "too bulky" when compared to a laptop so similar in size and weight seemed... odd.

Anyway, carry on.

 

I think the Dell also has the advantage of having a backlit keyboard, TV tuner (both big pluses for me) and offers WiMax. I had the DV6QE and the DV7QE before I got the XPS 502 and returned them within a week. IMHO the Dell is way better for my needs. It's a complete multimedia package.

Yes, technically the XPS is bulkier. Is it too bulky? No. But the fact that it is bulkier is objectively measurable.

 

Fair enough.

On "Better Build Quality", do you mean you think it is more durable? I am deciding between the same two systems, and I know I'll be carrying this system around some in my backpack.

Also, it looks like the Dell comes standard with the 525M now instead of the 540M, is the 540M worth the extra money?

There is only a $20 differential between the price of these two now ($979 for the hp versus $999 for the Dell). Any opinion changes because of that?

OP decided to go with Dell, are you happy with that purchase?
