Editors Didn't Like
- Glossy touch screen is prone to fingerprints, Loud fan, Screen is low-res for size
- Somewhat high temperature & noise development during load, Spongy keyboard, Reflective display
- Thick and clunky. A fully loaded configuration can be pricey
- The extremely bulky, uninspired design of the XPS 15 doesn't suit its price, and though the battery life is very good, it's not as great as Apple's MacBook Pro. Some configuration options feel like they should have been included for free
- Bulky chassis, Keys somewhat stiff, Needs large battery for decent endurance
- Difficult to upgrade, Bland design
- Loud and Hot Under Heavy Use, Short Battery Life Under Heavy Use, Reflective Screen
- There are only a handful of preconfigured builds available, and the more powerful options get very expensive. It's also too heavy for regular commuting
- Thick and heavy. The 6-cell battery alone won't cut it

Good morning, everybody.
I had the same problems with some drivers on Dell XPS 15 L502X and my Dell Vostro 3550.
I found the solution:
1 – After installing Windows 10, go to the following Dell’s homepage:
![Dell Multimedia Controller Driver Xps L501x Dell Multimedia Controller Driver Xps L501x](/uploads/1/3/3/2/133296872/602107529.png)
On the topic View all available updates for Windows …, and click on Choose Your OS
A list of drivers will appear.
2 – Select BIOS – do the download of the file and excecute it. You have to upgrade the BIOS firmware.
Your machine will restart (it will take a little time)
After restart, if you access Device Manager on Control Panel, you’ll see that Windows 10 now recognize your video card.
3 – On the same link over, download the graphics driver (Intel HD 3000/2000 Graphics Driver) and excecute it.
Do the same with nVIDIA GeForce GT 525M/GT540M Graphics Driver

5 – After that, access Device Manager on Control Panel, right click over the nVIDIA GeForce GT 525M/GT540M Graphics Driver and choose Update Driver.
That’s it.
All the best.
