Dell XPS 17 review: The big screen returns in a slim, stylish shell

Designed for light- to middleweight creatives, this 17-inch laptop is tops when size matters.

Comfortable keyboard

Would love some higher end graphics options and a better webcam

Dell XPS 17 3D review

The Dell XPS 17 3D reviewed here ships with an Intel Core i7 2820QM clocking in at 2.30GHz but capable of pushing to a full 3.4GHz in Turbo Boost mode. This is one of Intel's latest quad-core processors built on the new Sandy Bridge architecture's 32nm...

Weighing 3.36kg with the power brick, and measuring nearly 40mm thick in places, this is no HP Envy 17. Still, if you're looking for a capable, premium desktop replacement that can do everything, the Dell XPS 17 3D fits the bill.

Dell XPS 17 review

Dell's latest version of its long-running premium Dell XPS 17 notebook features a revamped look, a quad-core CPU, and discrete nVidia mobile graphics. The net result is a laptop system that offers average performance in WorldBench 6, but surprisingly...

Overall, the latest edition of the Dell XPS 17 is a chip off the old block. None of the individual components stand out, and, on the surface, performance isn't something to write home about either, compared with other systems in this class. But the...

A huge 4K screen and loads of processing power in a package that can still be used on the move

Excellent media application performance ; Detailed, vibrant UHD+ screen ; Surprisingly portable for so much power ; Great battery life ; Four Thunderbolt 4 connections

Dell XPS 17 (9700) Review: Big-Screen Machine

A triumphant return after almost a decade away

Slim bezels and attractive design ; Bright, vivid, 16:10 display ; Strong performance and gaming-grade GPU ; Massive touchpad

Middling-quality webcam

The Dell XPS 17's thin bezels highlight its gorgeous 17-inch screen, and it has the performance to match the size. Add a gaming-grade GPU and you have a solid all-rounder for those who love big screens.
