Please, correct the specs on the begin. It uses DDR with 2666, not 2400.

I am also concerned on how well rated this laptop is with all the "issues" which are called in the review, both in the text, and in the super fine print.

Many laptops in this range are close to 100% sRGB, and this is only 56? You can not even do basic photo culling with that much data not being correctly displayed, let alone editing.

The keyboard was "passable", the trackpad was "average". In the Display response times, the results were :"The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers." with the second one saying "The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers."
The SSD was super slow causing slow load times...

How can the screen be unsatisfactory for gamers...on a GAMING laptop and yet the result is that people looking for a gaming laptop should "push the G7 to the top of their consideration list"?!?!?!

Hi
The starting weight of G7 on Dell website is 2.86 kg and 2.6 kg for G5. In your review you are showing G7 is lighter than G5
Could you explain

I want to see a mid-range performance laptop that focuses on 2 things: screen (350 nits, 1000:1 contrast, 100% sRGB, fast response) and battery (80+ Wh) with [i5/1050] to [i7/1060] for maximum $1,200. Without OEMs squandering resources on all the "thinner, lighter", "gamer aesthetics", and "RGB everything", it should be perfectly doable.

Btw no clue how you got 7.5 hours of battery life when majority of users have been reporting around 3-4. 7.5 is what I got with Gigabyte Aero 15W v7 (similar specs) which has nearly twice the Dell's battery. Indicating either this particular case was an anomaly or there is a sizeable flaw in your estimations.

IMO, by the content of the review (bad sRGB, very dim screen, i7-8750H not performing at 1100 as expected, questions about battery in the comments, etc) suggests a much lower overall score. Maybe the author is dell-biased?

Anyway, agree that the grading system should be revisited.

is the power comsumption calculated while plugged in ? because it say 90W per hour, thats mean with the 54 Wh battery, it only gonna last 54/90 = 0.6 hour=36 min. these battery stuff blow my brain so any explain will be very appreciated

How come average keyboards receive a grade of 83% (4/5)?

I think this 100 point grading system is not that effective if no laptop - no matter how appalling their keyboards, they never get anything lower than 80%.

This means even a garbage, cancer-inducing keyboard still received an ok rating.

Is there a way to share your calibration settings? I'm using my G7 and definitely could use an improvement on colors.

Any further insights why is the battery life so good, despite having the battery of only 56Whrs (when compared with 64Wh or 70Wh of Asus and HP, respectively)? As you claim, the new CPU uses more power than the last gen, and with same 1060s it should at least be on par with 64/70Whr laptops, if not worse.

XPS 15 9570 i7/i9 REVIEW WHEN

Review author here.

@Jason Yue - Thanks for the catch. Yes, the processor is part of the Coffee Lake family, not Cannon Lake. The article has been updated.

@Bob - There is only room for an M.2 drive and a 2.5 SATA drive. That's all you get. As far as transferring data, that depends on how comfortable you are with file transfers. There are some pretty decent file transfer tools to move everything onto a new hard drive, but that would be via software. It's not too hard. Google will be your friend here.
