Dell XPS 15 9560 (Core i7-7700HQ, GTX 1050, 4K UHD Touch) Review
Dell XPS 15 9560 with Intel Core i7-7700HQ, GeForce GTX 1050, up to 32GB DDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, 15.6-inch 4K UHD (3840x2160) touch IPS display, 97Wh battery.
A landmark thin-and-light workstation-class laptop from 2017 that popularized the near-borderless InfinityEdge display, still widely serviced today thanks to a large replacement-parts ecosystem.
Overview
The 9560 was one of the first mainstream laptops to pair a discrete GPU with a genuinely thin 15.6-inch chassis, at the cost of well-documented thermal throttling under sustained GPU load.
Screen replacement note
The 4K UHD touch configuration uses an LG Display LP156UD1-SPB1 panel (15.6" 3840x2160, 40-pin eDP), one of the most widely available 4K laptop replacement panels on the market.
