XPS 15 XPS 17

Dell XPS 15 and 17 images leak showcasing slim and sleek new builds

An eagle-eyed reader on Reddit managed to spot an image which has since been taken down that apparently shows a revamped version of the XPS 15 and a larger XPS 17 laptop. 

Redditor u/WesolyKubeczek spotted the unusual image which that depicts four new laptops. It has been conjectured that the upper left and upper right laptops are the new XPS 15 and XPS 17 while the lower left are examples from Dell’s Precision series notebooks share some design commonality with the XPS series but which are a bit on the chunkier side.

The XPS 15 and XPS 17 laptops in the upper left and upper right bear aesthetics that were seen on this year’s XPS 13 9300 which we managed to preview at CES 2020.

Essentially, this means both new addition to 2020’s XPS range will have a slimmer, sleeker look with thinner InfinityEdge top, side and especially bottom bezels across the range than ever before in order to offer even more screen real estate.

On top of the larger displays which were also seen in the new XPS 13 9300, the new redesign looks like it packs 3.5mm audio ports, a slot for a full-sized SD card which will endear it to photographers as well as a quartet of USB Type-C ports. The chassis for both also look like it sports their increasingly favoured carbon fiber in its design as well.

Naturally, being just images, there’s not much to go on for specifications for the new XPS 15 and XPS 17 but by conjecture and past history, they’ll likely offer both in both Full HD and 4K resolution in both touch and non-touch capable variants. There’s no firm details on pricing or anything else but a glimpse of an official render like this in the wild means that it’s likely that they will make an official appearance sometime soon.
