About This Product
Pushing innovation to the edge.
The world’s smallest 15.6-inch laptop packs powerhouse performance and a stunning InfinityEdge display — all in our most powerful XPS laptop.
Innovation that inspires.
When you’re at the forefront of ingenuity, you get noticed. That’s why it’s no surprise the XPS 15 was honored. The winning streak continues.
Meet the smallest 15.6-inch laptop on the planet.
The world’s only 15.6-inch InfinityEdge display: The virtually borderless display maximizes screen space by accommodating a 15.6-inch display inside a laptop closer to the size of a 14-inch, thanks to a bezel measuring just 5.7mm.
One-of-a-kind design: Measuring in at a slim 11-17mm and starting at just 4 pounds (1.8 kg) with a solid state drive, the XPS 15 is the world’s lightest 15-inch performance-class laptop.
A stunning view, wherever you go.
Dazzling detail: With the FHD Display (1,920×1,080), you can see each detail of every pixel without needing to zoom in.
Industry-leading color: The XPS 15 is the only laptop with 100% Adobe RGB color, covering a wider color gamut and producing shades of color outside conventional panels so you can see more of what you see in real life. And with over 1 billion colors, images appear smoother and color gradients are amazingly lifelike with more depth and dimension. Included is Dell PremierColor software, which automatically remaps content not already in Adobe RGB format for onscreen colors that appear amazingly accurate and true to life.
Easy collaboration: See your screen from nearly every angle with an IGZO IPS panel, providing a wide viewing angle of up to 170°.
Brighten your day: With 350 nit brightness, it’s brighter than a typical laptop.
Powerhouse performance.
Super-speed: The most powerful XPS laptop we’ve ever built includes the latest 7th Gen Intel® Quad Core™ processors and an optional 4GB GeForce® GTX 1050 graphics card with the latest and greatest Pascal™ architecture, so you can blaze through your most intensive tasks.
Maximum memory and storage: Supports up to 8 GB of memory with a bandwidth of 2400MHz, 1.3 times the speed of 1600MHz options. Faster memory means you get to the content that you need quicker. Expandable storage up to 1T HDD and 128 GB Solid-State-Drive (SSD) SATA, provide plenty of storage room and high-performance responsiveness to access and run your applications quickly. The XPS 15 boots and resumes in seconds with a solid state drive, so you can do more without waiting.
Killer™ Wireless: The Killer 1535 Wireless-AC adapter provides a strong and reliable Wi-Fi connection and was designed specifically to make your online videos, voice and games play faster and smoother. It automatically detects, classifies and prioritizes network traffic ensuring your most important data takes priority over your other less urgent applications. Killer delivers your critical packets immediately, thus eliminating unnecessary latency and lag.
Essential productivity at your fingertips.
Leading-edge connectivity
Thunderbolt™ 3 multi-use port allows you to charge your laptop, connect to multiple devices (including support for up to two 4K displays) and enjoy data transfers up to 40Gbps, which is 8x faster than USB 3.0. Also includes two USB 3.0 ports.

Built for business.
Best-in-class Security with industry-leading endpoint solutions that include leading-edge encryption, authentication and threat prevention.
Dell Data Protection l Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise: With a 99% efficacy rating (much higher than the competition), you can prevent threats and stop malware before it can run.
Dell Data Protection l Encryption: Data-centric encryption is not aligned to a device, but to end users themselves. Our multi-key approach protects the data as it moves from device to device, and even up into the public clouds.
The world’s most manageable XPS allows IT to change BIOS settings and configure systems with the flexibility your business requires.
Dell Client Command Suite: Dell’s free automation tools help IT streamline system deployment, updates, and monitoring in complex environments. DCCS means faster deployments.
Artfully constructed from premium materials.
Maximum durability: Cut with precision from a single block of aluminum for a sturdy, durable chassis in a beautiful design. The Corning® Gorilla® Glass NBT™ display is up to 10 times more scratch resistant than soda lime glass.5
Cool under pressure: The palm rest is made from carbon fiber. It’s strong and thin like aluminum, but lighter and cooler to the touch.
More environmentally responsible than ever.
Power-efficient: XPS 15 is ENERGY STAR® qualified.
Smarter materials: Free of materials like cadmium, mercury and some phthalates, it’s also EPEAT® Gold registered6 and BFR/PVC-free7.
Recycle-friendly: Over 90% of the laptop (by weight) can be easily recycled or reused, and the bamboo packaging trays are 100% recyclable.
