Dell XPS 17 (2022)

The XPS 17 (2022) is available in the same CPU configurations as the XPS 15 (2022). Users, however, also have the option for up to RTX 3060 (60 W) with 6GB of VRAM. The XPS 17 understandably doesn’t have an OLED option since 17-inch OLED panels are not being manufactured. The top of the line display option is a 4K, IPS LCD panel with 100 per cent Adobe RGB colour gamut coverage. The touch and non-touch models of the XPS 17 come with a 97WHr battery.

The XPS 17 (2022) starts at $1,849.

Both the XPS 15 and XPS 17 have plenty of connectivity options including a built-in microSD card slot, 3.5 mm headphone/ mic combo jack, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6E, two Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C ports, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. These Type-C ports support DisplayPort and USB power delivery.

The RTX 3060 option of the Dell XPS 17 will be available later in April. All other models will be available in select markets from March 31 onwards.
