Dell XPS 17 (2021)

With the Dell XPS line, Dell has managed to create a consistent and capable alternative to the MacBook Pro year in and year out. Though users that consider portability as important as power will gravitate towards the smaller models, the Dell XPS 17 exists for those who need all the screen real estate and power they can get to take care of their productivity workloads. And, the XPS 17 (2021) stays true to that tradition. Take our review model – it’s about as powerful a Windows laptop as you’ll find on the market right now. It comes with the kind of components that can keep up with powerful desktop computers, such as its 11th-gen Intel Core i7, 32GB of RAM, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. More impressively, it’s incredibly slim for such a powerhouse, measuring only 0.77 inches thick. All that performance doesn’t come cheap, however. The model we reviewed will set you back $2,949 (about £2,130, AU$4,020) and is probably not the right configuration for a lot of people. You can find ...

The Dell XPS lineup has always been there to take on the MacBook Pro , providing excellent performance in a portable chassis – at least the 15- and 13-inch variations. The Dell XPS 17 , however, due to its larger size, is all about providing top-notch performance and an excellent display for folks that need something a bit beefier to get through their work.  And the newest Dell XPS 17 certainly delivers. The model reviewed here is absolutely packed with the most powerful hardware you can find in a laptop in its class right now. We're talking an 11th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, 32GB of RAM and a discrete Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. This is a laptop that, despite its thin 0.77-inch-thick chassis, can absolutely power you through whatever creative workload you have, on the go. Though, to be fair, you're going to have to pay to handle this kind of power. Our configuration will set you back a whopping $2,949 (about £2,130, AU$4,020), so this shouldn't be your first bet if ...
