Dell XPS 15 (2023): A real do-it-all powerhouse

The Dell XPS 15 is an elder of the laptop world. It carries itself with a stately, reserved manner, and wouldn't dream of troubling itself with trivialities like a radical new colorway or different badging. 2023's XPS 15 keeps the pomp but delivers one major improvement: It's a lot quicker than before.

SPECS AND FEATURES

The 2023 Dell XPS 15 leaps to Intel's 13th-gen Core processors and Nvidia's RTX 40-series graphics. The top-tier GPU is kicked up two rungs from the RTX 3050 Ti in the outgoing model (fave.co/3zfdq2Q) to the RTX 4070 in the new XPS 15.

CPU: Intel Core i7-13700H

Memory: 32GB LPDDR5

Graphics/GPU: Nvidia RTX 4070 (40-watt TGP)

Display: 15.6-inch 3.5K OLED

Storage: 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD

Webcam: 720p

Connectivity: 2× Thunderbolt 4/USB-C with Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alternate Mode, 1× USB-C with Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alternate Mode, 1× SDcard reader, 1× 3.5mm combo audio

Networking: WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3

Biometrics: Windows Hello fingerprint, facial recognition

Battery capacity: 86 watt-hours

Dimensions: 13.57×9.06×0.71 inches

Weight: 4.21 pounds

MSRP: $2,799 as tested ($1,499 base) The review configuration, which included the top-tier GPU and upgraded OLED display, rang up at $2,799. Base models are more affordable, however, with an MSRP of just $1,499. That drops the graphics to Intel’s Arc A370 and the display to a 1080p IPS screen, but you still receive an Intel Core i7-13700H processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB solid state drive.
