What's immediately noticeable on the new Dell are the super thin bezels on its 4k display. It takes the same design cues from the Dell XPS 13 we looked at last year but adds an available discrete GPU from Nvidia (a GTX 960M) along with a new 6th generation Intel Skylake quad core i7 processor.
Mine came equipped with a 4k touch display and 16 gigs of RAM. It also has a 512GB SSD and 3x3 AC wireless. The system also has a USB type C port that also works as a Thunderbolt 3 port. Lots of premium features which is what to be expected at this price point.
In this video we test a version of the XPS 15 with a 4k display. There's also a 1080p version that can be purchased with the same specifications for around $1800. I recommend the 1080p version as it gets better battery life over the 4k version.
Performance is great and inline with what is to be expected with this CPU/GPU combo. The difference is that they managed to pack it into a form factor that's a lot smaller and lighter than many other Windows laptops with similar specifications. There's a price premium for that but those looking for a premium laptop will like what they see here.
