$1300 Dell XPS 15 9500 vs. $2300 XPS 15 9500: Here is everything the higher-end option will get you

Surprisingly, battery life on the Core i7 GeForce option is almost the same as on the Core i5 iGPU option. The $1000 surcharge brings significantly faster graphics performance at the cost of running both louder and warmer in the process.

You realise you're comparing FHD vs UHD, right?

Great article this! Very informative. Look forward to a similar one for the XPS 17!

Only reason to buy the new XPS 15 is the GTX 1650ti option, if you don't need the extra GPU power your better off with a AMD 4000 series laptop that would cost thousands less.
The price for the model with GTX 1650ti is rather insane.

Except the selection of Ryzen 4000 laptops is very limited at the moment, at least where I live. And even the little there is often has zero stock with questionable availability. Not to mention that most of the higher-end options won't offer Ryzen this year. They're good processors, but usually placed in not very desirable chassis.

That's no surprise as the i5 model comes with a 56 Wh battery whereas the i7 model with a larger 86 Wh.
