Dell XPS 17: Specs and featuresĬlassifying the XPS 17 is a bit difficult since, between its size and power, it can do a bit of everything, including video editing, some decent gaming, productivity, engineering, music creation, and anything that requires both a lot of processing oomph and a massive 17-inch screen. The and newer 9710 models can receive the Windows 11 update due on Oct. You can still find the older 9700 model with 10th Gen Intel and last-gen RTX 20xx graphics, and they may be cheaper if you're on a budget. Maxed out with an 11th Gen Core i9-11980HK, Windows 10 Pro, 64GB RAM, 8TB of storage, RTX 3060 GPU, and UHD+ (3840x2400) display is an eye-watering $5,495. Amazon's build features Windows 10 Pro, UHD+ (3840x2400) display, the new Core i7-11800H, RTX 3050, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage, making it a perfect choice for $2,200 (Dell has the same model for $2,559).īest Buy offers a higher-end model with Windows 10 Home, an RTX 3060, UHD+ (3840x2400) display, 1TB of storage, 16GB of RAM, and the same Core i7 for $2,950 (Dell has it for $100 cheaper at $2,849). That model has a Core i5-11400H processor, Windows 10 Home, 8GB RAM, Intel UHD graphics, and a full HD+ (1920x1200) display, making it quite powerful.Īmazon and Best Buy both sell select pre-configured models that often start higher with beefier hardware. But Dell has gotten rid of the smaller 56WHr battery model and only offers the better 97WHr one. Pricing now starts at $1,600, whereas the older 9700 model was $1,350. The best deal is through Dell's website, as you can configure the machine you want to fit your budget and needs. The is now available from Dell, Amazon, and Best Buy. I've been using the XPS 17 since late summer, and here is what you need to know about it and how it compares to the highly touted XPS 15. That means it is not for everyone, but for those who yearn for a mobile desktop PC, the XPS 17 is an attractive option. But, while you gain power, size, and one of the best portable displays, the tradeoff is increased weight and size. The XPS 17 is arguably one of the best and most exciting laptops in what is already one of the most exciting years for PCs to date. But now, there have been attempts by LG (who make the ridiculously light, albeit underpowered, gram 17), Razer (their super-powerful gaming Blade Pro 17), and now Dell with the XPS 17, which sits nicely in between. In the past, only the most hardcore would carry around a 6-pound behemoth that aggressively challenged the laptop naming convention. One of the best side effects of laptops shrinking bezels and switching to taller 16:10 displays is seeing the return of 17-inch laptops. New benchmarks, pricing, configurations, and parts of this review have been updated to reflect what is new and improved. Update for September 2021: This review has been revised with the new model (up from the from 2020).
