These weights are actually different from last year’s, despite the same dimensions, since the internal components changed.

Worth noting, the "FHD+" (1,920-by-1,200-pixel) version of the laptop weighs less than our model, at 5.1 pounds.

Our 4K display unit here measures 0.77 by 14.7 by 9.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.4 pounds, thin and relatively portable for a 17-inch system. The aluminum exterior and signature carbon-fiber keyboard deck deliver an experience reflective of the cost. Every few years, a meaningful design iteration comes along, but this XPS 17 feels as quality-built and high-end as ever. You know what to expect-a premium build in terms of materials, style, and cost-but I also don't see much reason to make a major change. Just like the design of competing Apple MacBooks like the 16-inch MacBook Pro, though, this is neither surprising nor a negative. That means the chassis design is the same as the last XPS 17 we reviewed, the Dell XPS 17 (9720). Sometimes, that means minor design changes too, but in both cases, these editions are mainly component switcheroos. Like the XPS 15, this new model is focused on internal updates. Regardless, the Dell XPS 17's sheer quality earns it our Editors' Choice pick among big-screen desktop replacements for its top-end performance and productive large display.

It's a combo that costs quite a lot, and even the still-capable base model has a higher price barrier of entry than before. Our particular review model packs a Core i7 chip, an RTX 4070 GPU, and a 4K touch panel. The Dell XPS 17 (model 9730, which starts at $2,449 $2,949 as tested) is Dell's big-screen option in the XPS family, equipped with Intel 13th Generation and Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 Series silicon alongside a brilliant 17-inch edge-to-edge display.

Right behind our review of the updated Dell XPS 15, its larger sibling arrives with the latest components inside, too.
