The XPS 17 is available with up to GeForce RTX™3060 graphics.

Faster memory, more storage: Your system boots and resumes in seconds thanks to up to 8TB solid state drive storage. Multi-task in a flash even on intense applications with up to 64GB of memory at 3200MHz.

Killer™ Wireless: With advanced Wi-Fi 6 technology and theoretical throughout speeds of up to 2.4 Gbps, the Killer AX1650 is nearly three times as fast as the previous generation of 80MHz 2×2 AC products. It prioritizes streaming video, communication, and game traffic in your system for fast, smooth online experiences.

Dell Power Manager: This application allows users to manage system behaviors such as acoustics (fan speeds), battery life and performance based on their preferences between quiet, performance, cool, and optimized modes. The selectable modes provided allows the user to change the power of the system. This solution, engineered by Dell, dynamically delivers the best performance form the processor, based on the mode best suited to that user, while intelligently monitoring and managing system temperatures. And with the latest Intel^® Dynamic Tuning Technology, the laptop is actively changing the power of its CPU to optimize your specific workload, increasing performance when you need it.

Advanced thermal design: The XPS 17 delivers powerful performance in an incredibly thin form factor. Optional discrete graphics feature unique dual opposite outlet fans, that increase fan airflow by approximately 30% and drive cooling airflow in both directions, resulting in more airflow overall and improved skin temperatures¹. A massive vapor chamber spans the entire width of the laptop providing even more heat dissipation capacity to help keep the laptop cool and achieve higher turbo power.

Stunning screen: A 16:10 4-sided InfinityEdge display is designed to make you more productive and provide a stunning edge-to-edge view.

Display like no other: Take full advantage of HDR content’s superior dynamic range with Dolby Vision™, which can deliver colors never before seen on SDR PC displays. Dolby Vision content can deliver highlights that are up to 40 times brighter, and blacks that are up to 10 times darker.

See every detail: The optional 4K Ultra HD+ (3840×2400) touch display offers pinpoint accuracy for all of your computing needs. See the detail of every pixel in photos without needing to zoom in or see more content while browsing the web.

Color that pops: Equipped with 100% Adobe RGB and 94% DCI-P3 color gamut, the optional 4K UHD+ display delivers saturated colors while a 1600:1 contrast ratio you to see the brightest brights and darkest darks. And 500-nit brightness provides more clarity in bright light, like outdoors, while up to a 0.65% anti-reflective coating cuts the glare of a glossy screen.

Easy on the eyes: An Eyesafe^® display reduces harmful blue light and maintains vivid color. It’s the first panel to intelligently manage light energy and the source, selectively reducing harmful blue light and dispersing it across the light spectrum.

Every XPS 17 badged with Creator Edition is fully equipped with the creative tools you need to make magic happen faster and better—so that your art can be pushed to edge.

Unleash the power to create: With up to the latest Intel^® 11th Gen, 8 core, 16 threads i9 processor you can keep at your most demanding workloads for even longer.

Effortless multitasking: Enjoy smooth Adobe filter performance with up to 64GB of memory.

Faster results: The rendering of high-resolution graphics and videos accelerates with performance class NVIDIA^® graphics.

Fast-track your creativity: Every NVIDIA^® GPU is backed by exclusive and free Studio Drivers that bring out the best in your creative apps. The drivers are built in partnership with app developers like Adobe and Autodesk to continually improve your experience. Proven. Reliable. And extensively tested to let you embark on your most ambitious projects.

Vibrant colors: A 100% Adobe RGB display on the optional 4K UHD+ panel enables you to edit your videos with confidence in their color.

Infinite storage: Massive flash storage provides plenty of room for videos, graphics, or designs.

*Minimum recommended configuration: i5 processors, 16GB, 512GB, (discrete graphics are recommended for videography or graphic design).

Precision manufacturing: 100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining process. A high precision, machine-milled aluminum chassis creates an elegant design with high build quality that’s stronger and stiffer than magnesium or plastic.

Cool and light: The black carbon fiber palm rest is inspired by the aerospace industry allowing for maximum strength and minimal weight.

Superior screen: The latest Corning^® Gorilla ^® Glass 6 (available on touch panel) is strong, as well as impact and scratch resistant.

Diamond-cut sidewalls: Anodizing provides a superior, scratch-resistant surface, but here, edges are dipped a second time to further prevent damage from repeated plugging and unplugging of peripherals. Using this finish on the metal achieves the perfect color without using paint, which could chip away over time.

The finest details: Stainless inlayed logos are laser cut out of a sheet of stainless steel and dropped into the machined cut outline by hand.

Elevated essentials: The XPS 17 features a massive display, a big, comfortable touchpad and a backlit keyboard with large key caps for maximum productivity.

Easier to open: The twin coil press fit hinge is designed to maximize the screen to body ratio and enable 4-sided InfinityEdge. The hinge design makes it easier to open, while staying stable when you are using the touchscreen.

Revolutionary webcam construction: The small webcam (only 2.25mm) has a 4-element lens that uses more elements than a typical webcam to deliver sharp video in all areas of the frame, while temporal noise reduction uses advanced noise reduction, significantly improving video quality, especially in dim lighting conditions. Finally, the lens is assembled with precise machinery to ensure all points of the image are in focus.

Serious about sound: Expand audio into an immersive 3D soundscape with our quad speaker design and Waves Nx^® 3D audio for speakers. Any music, movie, or game plays with depth and width that seems to defy the laws of physics.
