Our Verdict
Dell Precision 3591 (2024)
Dell XPS 15 (2023)
The Dell Precision 3591 (2024) and the Dell XPS 15 (2023) are both high-performance laptops designed to handle demanding tasks. However, the Precision is better suited for professionals in 3D graphic design and simulation, as it uses NVIDIA RTX Ada Generation Laptop GPUs, while the XPS is more of a content creator laptop, sporting the more consumer-oriented GeForce GPUs. In terms of the user experience, the XPS wins hands down, as it's a more premium laptop with higher-end materials and build.
