Dell just announced the new refresh of the critically-acclaimed XPS 15 and XPS 17 laptops as both Intel and NVIDIA just announced their new hardware for laptops. Both the XPS 15 and XPS 17 refresh for the year 2021 are equipped with the latest 11th Gen Intel Core processors and also up to RTX 30-series of GPUs.

Let’s do a quick rundown of the specs:

• XPS 15 (9510)
  • Up to 15.6-inch 4K (3840×2400 pixels) touch display
  •  Up to 11th Gen Intel Core i9-11900H
  • Up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM @ 3200MHz (2x SO-DIMM slots)
  • Up to 4TB of PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe SSD
  • Up to NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti with 4GB VRAM (45W TGP)
  • Up to 86Wh battery
• XPS 17 (9710)
  • Up to 17-inch 4K (3840×2400 pixels) touch display
  • Up to 11th Gen Intel Core i9-11980HK
  • Up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM @ 3200MHz (2x SO-DIMM slots)
  • Up to 4TB of PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe SSD
  • Up to NVIDIA RTX 3060 with 4GB VRAM (70W TGP)
  • 97Wh battery

Other than the specs refresh, both the XPS 15 and XPS 17 seem to be using the exact same chassis and design from last year – which is still a fantastic laptop in terms of design and build quality.

Dell also managed to stick to this brand new naming scheme, as the official model number for the new 2021 refresh is XPS 15 9510 and XPS 17 9710, whereby the last year’s models were XPS 15 9500 and XPS 17 9700. Dell’s naming scheme was something that we complained a lot – and I’m glad they’re fixing it.

However, it seems like Dell is still neglecting the option for a 1080p touch display option.

For us here in Malaysia, both the XPS 15 9510 and the XPS 17 9710 will be available in Malaysia really soon, with these starting specs and starting price:
