Dell has introduced the 2022 models of its 15.6-inch XPS 15 and 17-inch XPS 17 laptops, and they’re available for purchase beginning nowadays. The 2 devices differ from their 2021 predecessors in one way handiest: They’re powered through Intel’s most recent 12th Gen processors.
Both models will be configurable with a center i5-12500H (12 cores), a center i7-12700H (14 cores), or a center i9-12900HK (14 cores). They’ll move as much as 64GB of memory and 4TB of storage and could offer options for a 3840 x 2400 touchscreen further to an antique-school 1920 x 1200 non-touch show. The XPS 15 also can include a 3456 x 2160 OLED touchscreen.
In which the 2 models differ (other than their length) is in graphics options. Both will offer options with Intel’s incorporated photos in addition to a GeForce RTX 3050. But the XPS 15 tops out at a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, while the XPS 17 can cross as much as a GeForce RTX 3060. The 3060 SKU, however, won’t be available for purchase until April. The XPS 15’s discrete GPU options also are each 40W, at the same time as the 17-inches are 60W.
The new configurations are welcome, if expected, information. The XPS 15 and XPS 17 are consistently a number of the top models of their categories, focused on users who wish to mix powerful specs with the pinnacle-notch build quality and don’t thoughts paying well over $1,000 for the privilege. That said, Dell has continuously had issues cooling those chips in such thin chassis (the 15-inches, in particular). Prospective buyers can also need to watch for early reviews to see if the brand new 15-inch can keep the Alder Lake chips at affordable temperatures.
The Dell XPS 15 begins at $1,449, and the XPS 17 starts at $1,849.
