Computex 2015 is taking place this week in Taiwan, and it seems that the buzz around Windows 10 is prompting manufactures to double down on high-spec PCs intended to launch alongside the OS. Today, it’s Dell’s new XPS 15 that’s turning a lot of heads, much like its smaller sibling did back at CES 2015.

The device’s screen is the main reason it’s grabbing the attention of many attendees — earlier this year, Dell debuted the Infinity display with the XPS 13, and it looks even more impressive on the bigger XPS 15. The laptop is set to pack the same minimal bezel on an even bigger screen when it releases later this year, according to a report from The Verge.

The 2015 model of the XPS 13 was very highly praised in the Digital Trends review of the device back in January of this year. Its high-resolution, thin-bezel display was noted as one of the standout features, so it makes sense that Dell will be pushing that as the main selling point of this new model of the XPS 15.

That said, the company has made very little information available about the device, seemingly confident that the screen is enough of a draw at this early stage. It would follow that the XPS 15 will boast comparable specs and features to the impressive XPS 13, with its larger display providing ample reason for consumers to opt for the bigger rig.

No firm details have been given with regards to pricing or a release date, but sources indicate that it’s at least several months away from release. Dell will roll out a selection of updated models in their various PC lines to take advantage of high levels of interest in the much-anticipated release of Windows 10.

The Dell XPS 15 has been a staple of the "powerful, but sleek" laptop set for as long as it's been around. It's a fantastic balance of performance and portability, and it acts as a brilliant counterbalance to the MacBook Pro in the world of Windows.

But a newcomer has arrived to challenge the XPS 15's throne, especially in a year when its 2023 update was considerably meager.

You'd be forgiven for mistaking the Dell XPS 17 for only a slightly bigger XPS 15. Both have large displays packed into the smallest chassis possible, and both boast some ambitious performance claims. However, there's more going on between the two than meets the eye.

Just how big of a difference is there between the XPS 15 9530 and the XPS 17 9730? Here's everything you need to know about these two great laptops, and which you should buy. Note that both laptops received refreshes in 2023 that upped the CPU and GPU but left the rest of the laptop alone. Neither is as compelling compared to the competition as it was in previous generations.
