On the right edge of the Dell is the second full-size USB 3.0 port, a battery meter and lock slot. It also makes for some very, very speedy file transfers. That single Thunderbolt 3 port can be used as a display out or extra USB 3.0 ports with the right accessories. A full-size HDMI port, USB 3.0 port, Thunderbolt 3, barrel power port and a combo audio jack sit on the left edge. Sandwiched between that metal outer crust is a lush carbon fiber surface that has a pattern embedded in it. It’s thin, too, measuring 0.66 inches at its thicket point. Fan vents, two speakers and a closable tray for stickers adorn the bottom of the notebook.įor a 15-inch notebook, it is light at 4.4 pounds. The outer edges of the XPS 15 are covered in machined aluminum that glistens in sunlight. The machine is often described as a metal wedge. The Dell XPS 15 comes really close to being the ultimate productivity and entertainment notebook. It also comes with some pretty high-end internals and an amazing screen (4k display in some cases). With metal skin and a thin profile, the Dell feels and looks better than most notebooks.
It starts at $999, though the model I had tops out at over $2,000.
The Dell is the latest notebook to attempt it. Only a few computer hardware makers have ever created a device that was thin and light while feeling premium. The best notebooks also have to offer decent battery life. Windows notebooks require more ports and bigger screens. Most smartphone makers can’t pull it off. Creating a device – any device – that has those three attributes is tough.
