Dell XPS 9570 review

The light creator XPS of 2018

The XPS 9570 (2018) lists at $459 — 39% below the gaming-class median — pairing a six-core i7-8750H with a GTX 1050 Ti and 32GB of RAM. The verdict's top strength is weight at 1.8kg, 25% below the class median; the flagged weakness is graphics at 38.99 versus 78.49. Reliability tracks 27/53. The measured sheet is green: Overwatch, GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege clear recommended — GTA V with a 140fps measurement — plus Photoshop and VS Code minimums.

Six cores at 1.8kg with receipts

The 8750H was the first six-core U-series-generation H chip, and in the thin XPS shell it gave creators genuine desktop-class threads in a carry machine. The 1050 Ti holds recommended bars across the measured set — documented 1080p capability — and the premium build around it has aged better than most. For light creative work plus esports, the package still coheres at $459.

The honest costs

Graphics 50% below the class median is the flagged weakness and the machine's identity: the GPU tier trails the CPU tier by a full generation of ambition. The 32GB RAM ceiling — half median — bounds modern creative workloads, and reliability at 27/53 prices seven years of service. All standard for the price band; none hidden.

Price trajectory

From an $1,800 anchor to $459 at a 10.4% annual rate, projecting $368 in two years — a 19.72% drop. The value floor is close; condition decides the last tranche.

Against its neighbors

Upward, Dell's Inspiron 7577 at $495 and G5 5590 at $519 — heavier machines with similar cards. Downward, the XPS 15 9560 at $422 — the previous generation $37 cheaper — and Inspiron 7567 at $434. The 9570's pitch: the newest six-core XPS at the family's mid price.

Bottom line

Worth the asking price for the buyer who wants premium-light, six-core creator hardware with documented light-gaming receipts. Graphics tier and RAM ceiling are the honest terms.
