Dell Forgoes Image Quality for Price in New XPS Notebooks
May 17, 2020
Dell is taking the popular XPS 13's super-slim, bezel-free design and adding it to the larger XPS 15 and to a revivified version of its 17-inch big brother, the XPS 17. Along with the redesigned and refreshed 2020 models, Dell joins the parade of manufacturers offering configurations marketed at creators. The company doesn't specifically mention Nvidia's RTX Studio program, but its Creator Editions of the laptops are clearly playing in that park.
The XPS 15 9500 began shipping at $1,299; the XPS 17 9700 is slated to ship between June and September, starting at $1,499. Despite reports that these high end notebooks would put a premium on image quality, the XPS 15 waves goodbye to the 4K OLED option. The XPS 13's display has a 16:10 aspect ratio, which means both the XPS 15 and 17 do, too. Their display options are nonstandard 4K "UHD Plus" (3,840x2,160 pixels) and "FHD Plus" (1,980x1,200 pixels) but there are no OLED panels, which only come in standard 4K UHD. Dell replaces the OLED with a 500-nit, touchscreen that covers 100% of Adobe RGB and 94% P3, which can arguably be better for some color-critical work. With a slightly bigger screen and smaller body, the new XPS 13 continues its steady march towards laptop perfection.
