Dell XPS 15 or Vostro 15 7000?

[Jon55]

So I recently bought a Dell XPS 15 for about $1100 but I just found a deal for the Vostro with a similar price to the XPS but better specs than the XPS. Is there anything bad about the Vostro or should I return the XPS and buy the Vostro instead?

 

One different I noticed was that the Vostro had a micro SD card reader rather than the full size found on the XPS. This isn't a big deal since I have a full size SD to USB C adapter but is something to note since I enjoy taking photos.

 

Specs for the XPS are i7-8750H, GTX 1050 Ti, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD

Specs for the Vostro are i7-9750H, GTX 1650, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD

The XPS has better build quality and better battery but I would pick the Vostro if it was my money purely for the upgraded specs. They are WAY better dude.

 

Speaking of Vostro, my wife has a Dell Vostro 5470 since 6 years and it's running perfectly, not a single issue. The only thing I did to give it life was upgrade the HDD to a 512GB Crucial MX100 and it gave it a new breathe of life. Your Vostro has an SSD and more RAM so you're good there. These machines are built to last. Talking from personal experience.

Alright, thank you. To be honest, I would I bought the Vostro if I had known of the deal. Just annoyed at this point that I have to return my XPS if I want better specs.

That Vostro doesn't have reviews yet (it's not the same with XPS 15 9570)
