INDIA: The Dell XPS 17 is the epitome of raw power and unbridled performance. Combining the mightiest variant of the latest computing chip with a top-tier GPU, a colossal 4K display, and crystal-clear speakers, this machine redefines what a power user’s arsenal should be.
Upon unboxing, the XPS 17 exudes a premium aura, hinting at the blue-ribbon experience awaiting its users. As a longstanding fan of the XPS series, the chance to have hands-on experience with this device was eagerly anticipated, and, needless to say, it did not disappoint.
Boasting a 17-inch UHD+ 4K touch-enabled display, the visuals are nothing short of stunning, with colours vivid and true. Powered by the 13th Gen Intel Core i9 processor, 32GB of RAM, and a capacious 1TB of storage, it’s a computational powerhouse that surpasses the needs of most users.
With an added NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, it pushes the boundaries of what a laptop can achieve. The performance of the XPS 17 is nothing short of astounding. Multitasking with numerous Chrome tabs, messaging apps, Zoom meetings, and even some light gaming is a breeze for this machine. It doesn’t flinch, even under the most demanding workloads.
However, the XPS 17 comes with a hefty price tag, making it clear that it’s designed for a specific audience. This laptop is tailored for creators and professionals handling heavy files, where the robust CPU and GPU truly shine. The speakers offer a top-notch audio experience, rivalling even the best in the market.
One standout feature is the extensive range of I/O ports, including four Thunderbolt ports, a full-size SD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack.
Dell even includes a USB Type-C to USB Type-A and HDMI 2.0 adapter in the box, demonstrating their commitment to meeting the diverse needs of their target audience.
While the battery life is commendable, lasting over six hours, for a machine of this calibre, a bit more stamina would have been appreciated. Additionally, its weight may be a consideration for users on the move.
