Dell is upgrading a part of its flagship laptop computer line right now, transferring the Dell XPS 15 and XPS 17 as much as thirteenth Gen Intel Core processors and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 40-series graphics playing cards.
In contrast to the Dell XPS 13, which obtained a makeover final yr together with a spec bump, the XPS 15 and XPS 17 look the identical as they’ve for the previous couple of years.
| Header Cell – Column 0 | Dell XPS 15 (9530) | Dell XPS 17 (9730) |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | As much as Intel Core i9-13900H | As much as Intel Core i9-13900H |

Each the XPS 15 (9530) and XPS 17 (9730) will begin at a Core i5-13500H and go as much as an Intel Core i9-13900H and go as much as 64GB of DDR5-4800 RAM. Moreover, they every could be configured with between 512GB and 4TB of SSD storage, although Dell notes that the computer systems truly assist as much as 8TB.
The massive distinction, past the shows and dimension, are in graphics. The XPS 15 will vary from Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4050 as much as the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, and also will supply an entry-level Intel graphics possibility within the Arc A370M, whereas the XPS 17 will begin on the RTX 4050 and go as much as the RTX 4080. However the XPS 15 is barely launching with its strongest graphics possibility and the XPS 17 can have the highest two. All the lower-level GPUs are coming “submit launch.”
Each laptops will proceed to make use of Dell’s InfinityEdge, nearly-bezel-free shows. Each the 15 and 17 can have high-res OLED variants (3840 x 2400 on the XPS 17, and an almost-4K 3456 x 2160 on the XPS 15), or extra standard-definition screens with out OLED. Each show possibility helps Dolby Imaginative and prescient.
Maybe Dell is not updating the design as a result of it nonetheless, to some extent, serves artistic sorts. The Dell XPS 13 went a bit overboard and eliminated the headphone jack and went for an all-glass capacitive touchpad. Video or sound editors might want the headphone jack for high-end headphones in addition to the full-sized SD card slot. Maybe the most important factor I might want for in a redesign is an HDMI port, which Apple went thicker to accommodate in its MacBook Professionals.
The XPS 15 will begin at $2,949 for the Intel Core i9, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, 32GB of DDR5, 1TB SSD and OLED panel, whereas the XPS 17 will start at $3,399 with the identical specs and its highest-end panel. These lower-level screens, CPUs and GPUs will probably be accessible afterward, hopefully making what have been traditionally stable machines accessible to extra individuals.
