The XPS Design Legacy
Dell’s engineers and designers have put in a lot of effort to achieve their XPS 15 the platonic ideal of a laptop that is full-size. If closed, the plain metal chassis and lid offer a striking appearance. If Dell’s Platinum Silver finish isn’t your preferred style, you can select Frost White, which gives the XPS the most imposing design, yet appears chic, yet not gaudy when used in a workplace.
When it’s open the XPS 15’s OLED screen provides a full-length image with extremely narrow bezels around it. The 16:10 aspect ratio panel has a 3,456 x 2,160 pixels resolution that Dell refers to as “3.5K” to indicate that it’s close to matching the 16:9 screen that has a 4K (3,840-by-2,160) resolution. The 15.6-inch screen has all the features you would be used to from OLED with dark, deep blacks; high-quality detail, and vivid colors. It’s also a touch-screen but you’ll need to keep a towel handy to remove dirt and marks.
The keyboard with backlighting is surrounded by chic carbon fiber, a unique design feature in the XPS line. For a compact laptop with flat keys, you’ll find that the XPS 15 offers a decent typing experience, as well as good travel and plenty of resistance. It’s not a match for an individual mechanical keyboard however it’s good for working on the go. There are stereo speakers on each side of the keyboard, hidden behind a subtle grille
The advanced materials used are what make its XPS 15 one of the slimmer and lighter laptops available at a size of 0.73 in 13.6 and 9.1 inches. It weighs just 4.31 pounds, which is half a pound lighter than MacBook Pro 16. In addition, the Dell can reduce weight without sacrificing performance or battery life.
