You can even configure it with a screaming Core i9-11900H, 64GB of RAM, and a mind-boggling 8TB of solid-state storage. I mention the graphics issue to temper your expectations if you think the XPS 15 can double as a serious gaming rig, but in fact it can handle pretty much any other scenario you throw at it. The differences aren't great, but they're enough to accommodate a full-power (more than 45 watts) version of the much more capable GeForce RTX 3070. The Alienware m15, the hardcore gaming equivalent to the XPS 15 in Dell's lineup, measures 0.8 by 14.2 by 10.9 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.65 pounds. Its chassis measures just 0.71 by 13.6 by 9.1 inches (HWD). The graphics constraints can be ascribed to by one degree or another to the XPS 15's compact stature. While it's significantly more expensive, it's probably the sweet spot for most buyers, with an eight-core, 2.3GHz (4.6GHz turbo) Core i7-11800H chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.

Those are reasonable specs for the starting price, but our review unit is better configured. The base configuration combines an 11th Generation, six-core Intel Core i5-11400H processor with 8GB of memory and a 256GB solid-state drive. You can't go wrong with either color choice, though, and fortunately Dell makes most of the other configuration options available with both colors.

Darker laptops (especially the common Space Gray that Apple and many other makers use) arguably look more professional than lighter-colored ones, but after using the Frost XPS 15 for a few days, I tend to think it's the more elegant of the two options. These materials give the XPS 15 a quality feel, though it's not the lightest laptop at 4.3 pounds. The lid and chassis are made of aluminum, and the keyboard deck is a soft-touch carbon fiber. They're available in either a muted Platinum Silver exterior finish with a black interior or an arrestingly bright Frost exterior with a white finish inside. The XPS 15 is the midsized member of the family, positioned between the 13.4-inch XPS 13 (available in either conventional or 2-in-1 convertible varieties) and the 17-inch XPS 17.Īll three models feature razor-thin display bezels and sleek chassis that are mostly free of ports and exhaust outlets. Dell's premium XPS models have always looked better than your average Windows laptops, but now that they all feature the same styling cues, there are few machines more likely to catch your eye, in our opinion. With a laptop this good, there's plenty of reason to keep things mostly as they are, especially design-wise. The refreshed XPS 15 model 9510 reviewed here adds an optional OLED display, a new "Tiger Lake-H" Intel Core i7 processor, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics, though it's otherwise unchanged from 2020's major overhaul. It's a no-brainer for those who prioritize thoughtful yet bold styling in a 15.6-inch notebook that's as compact as possible while still offering more powerful components than many competitors. One year after Dell significantly redesigned the XPS 15 (starts at $1,273, $2,400.99 as tested), this exquisite desktop replacement laptop remains as excellent as ever.
