Windows 10: XPS 15 9510 is quickly becoming a headache. Please help.

Purchased my XPS 15 9510 in December solely for a small home studio. My xps came with 16GB of memory. After installing my Cakewalk as my DAW, Omnisphere 2, Stylus RMX, Audiobox USB 96 for my interface and Arturia Keylab 49 for my midi I have been unable to use my MIDI in my DAW due to "low memory". Purchased 2x16GB cosair vengance ram sticks but they were not compatable with my 9510. Called dell tech but they had no solution. Called Cosair and they act like it weas their first time hearing about the incompatibility. I invited them do a simple Google search on this topic but they declined. So h

PW7015L Power Companion With Dell XPS 9510/9520?

Hi. I am using an old dell xps 15 9550 from years ago. I had bought 2 PW7015L power companions to use with my laptop. I know this is a barrel type of powerbank. And from what I see on dell site, many of the xps laptops after the 9550 use usb-c for the powerbank correct? Thus the 9510/9520 would use the PW7018LC powerbank as its usb-c.



My question is could I still use the PW7015L power companion with the 9510/9520 laptop if I choose to buy one of these 2 xps laptops? The issue is the power companion I have is a barrel and not usb-c but I recall reading somewhere you could buy an adapter and that would work with the new xps laptops? Can others confirm this or not? And what is the link to that adapter and has anyone here bought it and used it with success? Because I will most likely get a xps 9510 or 9520 and would want to use my current power companions and wouldn't want to buy another 2 of them etc.



Someone said I can if I buy this adapter? But seem to be out of stock for a long time?

Now what if i buy another laptop like say a lenovo legion or lenovo legion 7 or asus g14 laptop. Would I be able to use the Dell PW7015L along with that adapter to those non dell laptops if it has usb-c charging? Or I would have to buy the Dell PW7018LC for that? Does that one work with other brands or not? I am asking this because I have 2 PW7015L powerbanks that I use with my dell xps 15 9550 and if i get a new laptop... whether dell xps 9510/9520 or a lenovo/asus... I want to be able to use those powerbanks if it means just buying that adapter you posted?


Thank you.

Dell XPS 9510 vs 9520?

I am using an old dell xps 15 9550 with specs of


i5-6300hq

1tb nvme ssd

32gb ram

84whr battery

intel hd graphics 530

nvidia geforce gtx 960m



I see dell sites both at the moment on the site. Cost $1600+ tax for the 9510 and at least $2049 minimum for the 9520 if you want to upgrade many of the parts.



Is it worth paying much more for the 9520? The thing is the 9510 screen is OLED only... is that correct? You can't seem to change that configuration on the dell site? So that mean with the OLED screen, you going to get much less battery than a regular screen? The 9520 you could choose 1920x1200 or OLED or 4k right? I am not a fan of a display where it uses more battery.



Also is the graphics card of 3050 or 3050ti good? Im surprised how come with how much it cost, how come it isn't at least 3060? Does having a 3050 or 3050ti graphic card as oppose to 3060 mean longer battery life? What is battery hours for each of them?



Also if I want to connect 2 external monitors to the laptop, I can do this without issue or I need to buy a dock station? At the moment, connect usb c to display port cable to a 32' 4k monitor. Then I use a hdmi to dvi cable on the 24' monitor so I don't need a docking station. Could I do the same on either the 9510/9520? Now if I want to connect two monitors with 4k resolution.... at 60hz, can I do this with either of these laptops or I have to buy a docking station no matter what? These have how many usb c and/or hdmi ports?

I notice the 9510 only has oled screen. That isn't good if you want more battery right? You can't change the processor or ram or ssd.



The xps 9520 you can make changes to configuration but it seem to cost a lot. If you want at least i7 and windows 10 pro and 32gb ddr5 and 1tb ssd, its well over 2k for it. However you could choose the 1920x1200 resolution which is probably the best of all? Would be using it connected to 2 external monitors.



Whats the big difference between not upgrading the video card and using just the intel xe or uhd graphics as oppose to the 3050? Big difference? But if you get the 3050, but turn off the graphic card and use the integrated graphic card, you still get similar battery as if you configured it without the 3050?




What do you mean intel video and not nvidia or amd? You mean the cheaper and don't upgrade one right?



So if you want to connect to 2 monitors, no issue at all? What about if each monitor is 4k resolution and you want 4k and at 60hz? Is that any issue or would you still need to buy a thunderbolt 3 displayport or docking station? Or it both has the ports for this?




Also I could use it with my old PW7015L barrel powerbank or not? You or someone mentioned you have to buy that adapter on dell site but it seem to be sold out? How long would it take to be available and if so, that would work? Because I wouldn't want to buy another powerbank and that seem to be the PW7018LC now. since I bought 2 PW7015L a while back but now they seem to use usb-c as oppose to the barrel type etc.



I want a fast laptop and being able to use it plugged in 2 external monitors while plugged in.
