Dell XPS 7590 review

The rare XPS that games and travels

The XPS 7590 (2019) pairs a six-core i7-9750H with a GTX 1650 and 64GB of RAM at $590 — 21% below the gaming-class median. The verdict's top strength is mobility at 39 against a class median of 29, landing in the catalog's top quarter; the counterweight is reliability at 32 versus 53. The measured sheet is green across the board: Overwatch, GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege at recommended, Photoshop and VS Code at minimum. The verdict calls it worth the asking price.

Mobility is the product

At a mobility index of 39 in a class that averages 29, this is one of the few performance machines you actually carry. The 1650 holds recommended settings in every measured title, and the 64GB pool is generous well beyond the machine's gaming tier. As a take-to-class, take-to-cafe machine that still games, the 7590's pitch is clean.

The honest cost

Reliability at 32/53 is the flagged watch-out — a six-year-old XPS carries hinge, fan and battery history, and the class median itself isn't high. Graphics at 53.31 versus 78.49 is below the class median, so frame expectations at high-settings 1080p rather than max-everything. Both caveats are priced into that $590.

Price trajectory

From an $1,800 anchor to $590 today at 11.29% per year, projecting $465 in two years — a 21.31% drop. The curve has flattened; the machine now sheds dollars slower than it shed reputation.

Against its neighbors

Upward, HP's OMEN 15-dc1057nr at $676 and Dell's Inspiron G3 3500 at $643 — both bigger gaming postures for the difference. Downward, Dell's G5 5590 at $519 and HP's Pavilion 15-dk0046nr at $519 — the same money buys either; the XPS counters with the premium chassis and the mobility index.

Bottom line

For a buyer who wants one machine that travels lightly and games at recommended settings, this is the honest pick of its price band — provided the reliability odds are accepted knowingly.
