The laptop incorporates a screen-to-body ratio of 93.6% with a 16:10 aspect ratio, which implies the XPS 17 monitor includes a resolution of 3820 x 2400 rather than your standard 4 K panel (3840 x 2160), making it one of the very best resolution displays on the market.

Since the panel is created of Corning Gorilla Glass-6 which makes it hard enough to break, best of all, the XPS 17 supports the anti-reflective coating, despite the glossy view, which permits it to look clearly from each angle.

Furthermore, this product contains an ultra-bright screen. The users will surely get an active response, consistent performance via the ten-finger condense touchscreen.

Creation Edition of Dell XPS 17 (2021) offers a high and up-to-date size and power for video editing, gaming, and basic 3D work. More importantly, it is equipped with NVIDIA GeForce which supports professional graphic applications or 4K working. So, for any individual looking to have such a device that can perform video editing and rendering work then this notebook could be for you. The users can save some bucks by releasing the GTX 1650 Ti mainly for photo editing.

It also features Dell’s premier color that helps the users to get a precise level of excellent performance. In other words, it can produce colors outside of the sRGB due to the inclusion of the Adobe RGB feature, but users can prevent it by utilizing the sRGB color outline. The users can also create profiles with the help of a calibrator by using the premier color, but only through the i1Display Pro of X-rite.

Security System & Ports

The system also supports security systems, ports, and unusual displays. The Dell XPS 17 is equipped with a fingerprint reader lodged in the power button that offers excellent security to the system. There is also an IR webcam for the users through which they can protest the Windows Hello, and it works the same as a fingerprint reader.

The port selection by Dell is quite impressive. Dell has added the USB type-A port in this model, three Thunderbold USB-C ports, one SD card slot, and a combo-headset jack.

Audio & Touch-Pad Quality

Same as its previous generation (XPS 15), it also featured a top-quality quad-speaker system that’s astonishingly loud. There is no doubt that its audio quality is fantastic. I listened to multiple songs on its built-in speakers which give me incredible joy. Any music lover who wants to hear loud songs can use this machine. The headphone jack also offers premium quality sound. You can enjoy the impressive audio quality while working for longer periods of time.

On the other hand, XPS 17 has a stylish yet compact keyboard, which is quite comforting to use. The users can work and type in the dim light as well because it holds the large and well-spaced keys with the backlighting environment. A good writer can order more than 70 words per minute without facing any issues. The keyboard deck is quite firm, durable, and long-lasting. Amazingly, the Dell XPS 17 is outfitted with a 3.5 x 6-inch touchpad which has magnificent palm repudiation.

Graphics

As earlier discussed, this product is specially designed for creative experts. For this purpose, the Dell company introduced the base model of this laptop with a 4 GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q integrated graphics card. The laptop has integrated UHD graphics as well for such times where the users aren’t doing any photo or video editing.

Another interesting fact about Dell XPS 17 in its extended version. The extended model has introduced GDDR 6 NVIDIA GeForce 2060 GPU with Max-Q design.

I enjoyed all the graphic features of this machine on Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Corel Draw. This product can produce up to 110 frames-per-second at 3840 x 2400, based on my experience. According to my observation, that value is enough to outstrip the 65-fps surcharge laptop average.

I used Adobe Premiere Pro for editing high-quality videos and trust me the response of the system was superb. This makes it extremely feasible for creative professionals who want to work as graphic designers and video editors. I also evaluated the graphics performance of this laptop by playing high-end games like GTA-5. I was amazed to see that this beast has quite an impressive performance.

Heat & Battery Span

An excellent thermal system present in XPS-17 includes output fans, vapor chamber, thermal insulation, and multiple vents which offer decent cooling to the machine. The audience can run numerous heavy tasks plus Google bars as it contains a unique thermal system.

I examined a test to check the amount of heat, and the results are entirely satisfactory. The touchpad showed 80 degrees F, and the keyboard center showed the heat around 92 degrees F.

Usually, a notebook with a 4K view doesn’t survive for 8 hours. But the XPS-17 can stay up to 9 hours. The reason behind this impressive battery life and extra performance. One more important thing about this product is that it comes with a 720p webcam, which can deliver an exceptional job by reproducing the precise color.
