Here, we look for consistency i.e., as straight of a line as possible.Īs I noted, Dell intends the to be a high-performance prosumer rather than a gaming laptop, but nothing prevents you from getting a few play sessions in with its GeForce RTX 40 series graphics. We also put productivity-driven laptops through 20 loops of Cinebench R23 CPU stress testing to see how the system’s cooling stands up under extended load. The showed the strongest performance of this group in our 25GB file transfer test, at 2,086.6 MBps versus the Samsung’s next-best 2,075.85 MBps, indicating Dell includes a fairly robust SSD. None of them could catch the MacBook Pro.

Things improved for the in the Handbrake video transcoding test, where its time of five minutes and 10 seconds was the lowest among the Windows laptops, easily besting its predecessor’s 6:40. Laptops have notoriously variable thermal and power behavior, so seeing different numbers with equivalent hardware isn’t entirely surprising. It nonetheless bested the 9720 in the single-core test (1,870 versus 1,670 points). The started off with 13,299 points in the cross-platform Geekbench 5 multi-core test, which looks good next to the Samsung with the same CPU (12,212 points) but somehow didn’t beat the older XPS 17 9720’s 13,714 points. Meanwhile, the older uses a Core i7-12700H and what was its top GPU option, a GeForce RTX 3060.

The MacBook Pro has Apple’s M2 Max chip and onboard graphics while the Samsung pairs the same Core i7-13700H in our with a GeForce RTX 4050. The Apple and Samsung have 16-inch screens and so are slightly smaller than the XPS 17. Dell bills this as a prosumer and all-around high-performance laptop rather than a gaming machine, though its GeForce RTX graphics cards have the horsepower for modern gaming, as we’ll see later in this section.įor our performance comparisons, we’ve included the 2023 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro, Dell’s outgoing XPS 17 (9720), and the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Ultra. We’re reviewing the XPS 17 with an Intel Core i7-13700H processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB graphics, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB PCI Express 4.0 SSD. Productivity and Gaming Performance on the Dell XPS 17 (9730) Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU (8GB GDDR6, 1,695MHz boost clock, 70-watt maximum graphics power)ġ7.0-inch touchscreen, IPS, 3840 x 2400, 60 Hz, 16:10Ĥx Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), full-size SD card reader, 3.5 mm headphone/microphone

Intel Core i7-13700H (six Performance cores, eight Efficient cores, 5.0GHz Turbo Boost) It has just four Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports (two on either edge), a 3.5 mm headphone/microphone jack, and a full-size SD card reader. Port variety is where the XPS 17 unfortunately doesn’t take advantage of its size.

Apple's 2023 16-inch MacBook Pro (14.01 x 9.77 x 0.66 inches and 4.48 pounds) is lighter but also has a similar footprint. Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Ultra is 13.99 x 9.86 x 0.65 inches and weighs 3.95 pounds. Size-wise, the XPS 17’s measurements compare favorably even to 16-inch laptops. The latter is probably why it weighs more than the 5.1-pound base model, which has a normal anti-glare screen and no touch support. It weighs 5.37 pounds with a touch screen as we’re reviewing it, which comes with a Corning Gorilla Glass 6 screen surface. It still looks great but it’s no longer the leader in style.Īt 14.74 x 9.76 x 0.77 inches, the XPS 17 is on the thick side but not much bigger than its 16:10 screen in width and depth.

Detail aside, I’d like to see Dell refresh the XPS 17’s design looks along the lines of its XPS 13 Plus (which, admittedly, may be controversial even among Tom's Hardware writers), as this big-screened laptop hasn’t seen a refresh in a few years.
