Dell has been mysteriously quiet on any updates to their flagship XPS 15 and XPS 17 performance laptops, but enough leaks have now formed that we’re able to get a pretty clear picture of what’s coming anyway. The Romanian based site B1 editors attended an event last week in that country in which Dell had on display the XPS 14 and XPS 15 and several product shots were posted. In the image below you can see a left side view of the XPS 15 that will have product number L521X when released:
The ports there include two USB 3.0, mini-DisplayPort, Ethernet and HDMI. The XPS 14 version of this machine will have one less USB 3.0 port. Over on the right side there’s also a media card reader, headphone jack and microphone jack.
You’ll notice that on the right side you also get a slot loading optical drive, which is a nice upgrade over the tray style optical drive on the current XPS 15 L502X. Worth mentionoin
The B1 site is reporting that the screen on the XPS 15 will have up to a 1920 x 1080 screen, meaning it’s Full HD. The screen also has a Gorilla Glass layer, which means it will be scratch resistant and also glossy. In regards to internal specs, they’re saying it’s either an Nvidia 640M or 630M, which are not particularly high-end graphics cards. The HP ENVY 15-3200 and HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 15.6” screen notebooks offer more powerful graphics, so hopefully Dell will match those models and have at least an Nvidia GT 650M graphics card. The processor will of course be Intel’s latest Ivy Bridge processor offerings, the Core i5 or i7 to be specific.
From earlier leaks we know the thickness of the XPS 15 will be around 0.90”, so it’s an extremely thin laptop for its size. Also, to refresh you here are the known internal specs from the leak thatTweakers.net revealed.
