Dell XPS 17 belongs to one of the families that helped define how modern Windows laptop looks. It's all about executive style and was one of the few Windows series that managed to seduce some punters from macbooks . The latest Dell XPS line is finally starting to move away from the decades-old style of the series - but the Dell XPS 17 is holding on. How you think about it will affect whether you think this laptop is a wonderful amalgamation of all things laptop or not "new" enough for the price. It starts at $2049/£2299, but for the more workstation-like machine I have here, you'll pay $3149/£3499. Or a few hundred dollars less than Dell's regular sales. Should you buy it? Here's how I handled it. Dell-XPS-17-1-1 Dell XPS 17 (2023) A powerful combination of power and style makes the Dell XPS 17 perhaps the most attractive Windows alternative to the MacBook Pro 16. But it has a reasonable price. supporter Classic XPS build quality All-day battery life Sharp, colorful screen

It has a series main assembly of aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced polymer. You get metal on the case and sides, and a softer, warmer reinforced plastic for the keyboard surround.

If that's what you're after, take a look at something like the LG Gram 17 . It's not a hybrid either, with a hinge that only opens to the laptop's normal angle, not 180 degrees. The Dell XPS 17 is more like the MacBook Pro 16 , a laptop where the feel of substance and solidity are all part of the appeal. It also leads to a weight of 2.3-2.44 kg (depending on the specification), which is quite heavy, which is not ideal for portable use. However, the Dell XPS 17 fits
into a regular bag unlike the 17-inch giants of old. Just look around the screen - the small bezels on each side mean that the footprint of these XL notebooks isn't as prominent as it used to be. You don't have any classic fat USB-A ports, but the four USB-Cs are all ultra-fast Thunderbolt 4 connectors. And Dell includes an adapter in the box that converts one of those ports to HDMI and USB-A. In addition, the XPS 17 has a full SD card reader and headphone jack, rounding out a very complete set of connections for this type of laptop. display Up to 4K LCD display Maximum brightness of 500 nits Touch screen Dell XPS 17 is about a good screen that you can expect without jumping to the next level of the series: OLED. It has an LCD screen with either a 16:10 Full HD or 4K panel, which I have here. No OLED means perfect blacks, and you'll notice this in darker rooms where the blacks take on that slight gray glow. Contrast is good, but not much more. However, everything else is great. The Dell XPS
