Dell's new XPS lineup: One desktop, two laptops — cutting-edge and customizable

What you need to know

• Dell has refreshed its performance-grade XPS laptops and desktops with 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs and the latest NVIDIA RTX 40-series graphics.
• The XPS desktop (8960) is now available, starting at $2489.99 from Dell's official website.
• Both Dell XPS 15 (9530) and XPS 17 (9730) laptops will be available from March 2, 2023, starting at $2949 and $3399, respectively.

Dell's XPS line of laptops and desktops are some of the best in both categories. They're powerful machines with elegant designs, rivaling even the Microsoft Surface as the best Windows laptop option, among other heavy hitters. Unveiling its latest revisions, Dell is seemingly improving upon perfection with two new laptops coming within the month and a customizable desktop computer available today.

The latest XPS machines are loaded with cutting-edge components, including 13th Gen Intel Core processors, with H-series chips for the XPS laptops for desktop-grade performance. No matter your choice, each model prioritizes airflow for proper thermal control. Designed to stay quiet under pressure, the XPS 15 and 17 laptops feature customizable parts at the point of sale, the same as the XPS desktop.

Dell XPS desktop (8960)

The default configuration for Dell's new XPS desktop includes an Intel 13th Gen i7-13700K CPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory, a 512GB solid-state drive, a 750W power supply, and the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU, but every aspect can be customized before purchase. Some parts will be available closer to mid-2023, but each XPS can be personalized.

Choose between a graphite or platinum color option for the steel case, designed for accessibility for future upgrades thanks to the use of standardized PC parts. Supporting up to a 1000W power supply to support 450W graphics cards, you can expand the XPS storage over its four storage bays and PCIe expansion slots. No matter your choices, each custom-made XPS desktop is designed for optimal airflow to keep temperatures under control during heavy use.
