When it comes to Windows laptops, Dell\u2019s XPS 13 is the laptop to beat. But the XPS 15 and XPS 17 are exciting upcoming releases as well, and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if we see them officially announced in the coming weeks. That\u2019s because \u2014 if a new leak from a Reddit user is to be believed \u2014 Dell has accidentally leaked an image of the upcoming XPS 15 and XPS 17 on the Precision laptops section of its website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We expected Dell to refresh the XPS 15 alongside its 13-inch counterpart, but this is also our first look at the larger XPS 17, which we\u2019ve been hearing rumors about for almost a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The image appears to have been removed, but thankfully the eagle-eyed u\/WesolyKubeczek took a screenshot. Take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The laptops on the right side appear to be the 2020 XPS 15 and XPS 17, while the bottom two appear to be upcoming additions to Dell\u2019s Precision line. Look closely at the picture and you\u2019ll see why: the laptop on the left (which is half open) has a numpad, which XPS models haven\u2019t had in the past. The Precisions\u2019 ports are also closer to the front of their chassis, while the 15\u2019s and 17\u2019s ports are at the rear (the XPS\u2019s logic board is closer to the back of the device to accommodate its sizable battery). Plus, the Precisions are much thicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding specific specs, the image doesn\u2019t provide any shocking information, but it does confirm some things we already suspected. The most notable thing that\u2019s missing is a single USB-A port on either of the XPS configurations in this picture, a choice that\u2019s growing more common among high-end compact models (Dell already removed USB-A from the 2020 model of the 13). I also don\u2019t see anything that looks like a Dell-proprietary power port, meaning these will likely charge exclusively by USB-C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The photo does, however, show a full-size SD card slot on the 17, and what appear to be upward-firing speakers on both sides of the keyboards. The 15\u2019s trackpad looks bigger than that of its predecessor, as do the arrow keys. And they both look pretty nice, with a (nearly) bezel-free design reminiscent of the powerhouse 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what\u2019s mostly exciting about this leak is that it indicates Dell is gearing up to officially announce these devices \u2014 so keep an eye out for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
