Dell XPS 15 surpassed Apple sales performance of MacBook Pro 15 when XPS was launched in October 2015. With the kind of specs the Dell XPS 15 possessed, it is speculated that the scary-fast laptop is still up to beating the upcoming MacBook Pro 2016.

The following reasons are gathered from several reliable sources that provided mainstream reviews of the so-called "scary-fast" machine Dell XPS 15:

Professional-Looking Body

Dell XPS 15 is almost considered as a movable desktop because of its 15.6-inch screen size along with a borderless display which is notable among Dell laptops according to Forbes. The keyboard and touchpad are wrapped with an attractive carbon fiber to maintain the weight of 3.9 pounds that weigh less than MacBook Pro 2016.

High-End Processor and Graphics

Intel 6^th generation quad-core processor Skylake is embedded in Dell XPS 15 and the culprit for its fast performance surpassing that of MacBook Pro 15. This is incorporated with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and NVIDIA GTX 960M for the graphics chip. XPS 15 comes in two renders for display - 1080 pixels for the cheaper one and 4K ultra HD (3840 x 2160) for the model with higher price.

Long Battery Life

Dell Power Companion does the battery-life magic through providing battery extension. XPS 15 is powered by a Dell extra-large 84Whr and can last up to 24 hours depending on the usage pattern. But if the user opted for a less power hungry and standard resolution display of XPS 15, the battery life extends even more.

Perfect for Gaming

Dell XPS 15 can be the top choice among gamers due to its gaming performance. Another thing about the XPS 15 CPU performance is the built-in GeForce GTX 960M chip that has 128-bit memory bus, memory bandwidth of 80GBps and memory speed of 1,253 MHz with a boot speed of 1,098 MHz according to PC World.  

Pricing

The high-end Dell XPS 15 has a price tag of $999 for a start. While MacBook Pro 2016 is expected to go beyond the price of Dell XPS 15 but still no guarantee if it can eclipse the beast performance of Dell's scary-fast machine.
