Launches where and when? and where is the 4TB SSD mention in the stowage description (you are only mentioning 2TB here). A bit premature and confusing this particular article, published by you a number of weeks ago.

This is pretty impressive if one thinks of it as a 15", just with more screen.
But I'm confused by the 3 cell battery option, are they really willing to leave a lot more empty space in the chassis cause I don't think any of the other options could make use of it, like probably it could fit 4 m.2 drives there, or another port, huge speakers etc. etc...

I don't see a power jack?

Indeed it probably charges via one or two of the C ports.

This is almost the 16:10 large-screen slimline laptop I've been waiting years for.

Almost, because: I'm not buying something without even a single USB-A for my gaming mouse, I'd prefer not to invest in an overpriced RTX 20 GPU this close to the arrival of the 30 series, and I'm certainly not interested in rewarding Intel's anti-competitive practices by buying their products now that superior alternatives exist .

This + Ryzen + *even just one* USB-A would have been enough to tilt me in its favour, outdated GPU or no. Hell, I could even bite the bullet and use a hub if they weren't forcing me to buy Comet Lake. As it is... not so much. I'll wait and see if the second generation steps things up.

Not sure if anyone noticed this yet, but the unpublished product page is available via a modified URL.

I can't post URLs apparently. Just go to the New 15" page, and change the 5s to 7s.

Anyone have any idea regarding the difference between Killer AX1650 vs. AX500-DBS? They seem to have the same specs.

imagine no top tier cpus in top tier phones
imagine no top tier engines in top tier cars
imagine (any) manufacturer on (any) market, who is selling worse for more money, telling you its better.
..
but some people say
"they have contracts"
"you dont know how business works"
"bad reputation"
"they should prove themselves"
..
pretty funny huh

The huge heat produced by the Core i9-10885H + RTX 2060 blown straight into the screen by the fans ::)

If they'd gone with Ryzen CPUs they wouldn't need "vapor chamber cooling". I guess the owners enjoy the loud fans and toasty palms.

A whole 17" laptop chassis to work with and they couldn't even be bothered to put a USB A port on there... it's not even like they saved the thickness either. That bottom lip curves up, so the whole thing isn't thinner due to having only USB-C.
Why

The Dell XPS 17 9700 is a return to the 17-inch market for the XPS series, and it packs a punch. Featuring up to a Core i9-10885H processor, 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, a 4 TB SSD, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 GPU, the XPS 17 9700 is a big upgrade over the XPS 15 7590. Starting at US$1,499.99, the XPS 17 9700 features Dell's latest advanced cooling features too and retain the 97 Wh battery of previous XPS 15 models.
