Put on stunning display
Redefined InfinityEdge display: Enjoy top camera placement and a 16:10 display that features a stunning edge-to-edge view, now with 921k more pixels on UHD+ for seamless productivity.
Cool and light: For the black palm rest, carbon fiber inspired by the aerospace industry, or the arctic white woven glass fiber palm rest, allow for maximum strength and minimal weight. Our design team worked tirelessly to get the details just right, including carefully crafted backlighting and a UV- and stain-resistant coating to prevent yellowing and staining.
Display like no other: Take full advantage of HDR content’s superior dynamic range with Dolby Vision™, which can deliver colors never before seen on SDR PC displays. Dolby Vision content can deliver highlights that are up to 40 times brighter, and blacks that are up to 10 times darker.
See every detail: The optional 4K Ultra HD+ (3840 x 2400) display offers pinpoint accuracy for all of your computing needs. See the detail of every pixel in photos without needing to zoom in or see more content while browsing the web.
Color that pops: Equipped with up to 100% Adobe RGB and 94% DCI-P3 color gamut, the optional UHD+ display delivers saturated colors while a 1650:1 contrast ratio allows you to see the brightest brights and darkest darks. And 500-nit brightness provides more clarity in bright light, like outdoors, so you know your work reflects true-to-life colors.
Easy on the eyes: An Eyesafe® display reduces harmful blue light and maintains vivid color. It’s the first panel to intelligently manage light energy at the source – selectively reducing harmful blue light and dispersing it across the light spectrum.
Stunning indoors and out: Keep your vibrant visuals going when working outside or in a bright light with a 0.65% anti-reflective coating which provides less glare in both these scenarios in order to maintain a strikingly glossy screen.
Fuel your wildest creations
Desktop-caliber creativity in a laptop: Packed with staggering performance typically only available from desktops, 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors bring desktop-caliber creativity to your laptop. With up to i7 processors with 8 cores and 16 threads, 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors help you capture, edit and share your creations faster than ever before.

Killer™ Wireless: With advanced Wi-Fi 6 technology and theoretical throughput speeds of up to 2.4 Gbps, the Killer™ AX1650 is nearly three times as fast as the previous generation of 80MHz 2×2 AC products. It prioritizes streaming video, communication, and game traffic in your system for fast, smooth online experiences.
Advanced thermal redesign: From dual fans separated to spread heat over a larger area, to dual heat pipes and hidden exhaust venting through the hinge, thermal design ensures you have the best performing system in the thinnest form factor possible.

Masterful craftsmanship
Cool and light: For the black palm rest, carbon fiber inspired by the aerospace industry, or the arctic white woven glass fiber palm rest, allow for maximum strength and minimal weight. Our design team worked tirelessly to get the details just right, including carefully crafted backlighting and a UV- and stain-resistant coating to prevent yellowing and staining.
Superior screen: The latest Corning® Gorilla® Glass 6 is strong, as well as impact and scratch resistance.
Diamond cut sidewalls: Anodizing provides a superior, scratch-resistant surface, but here, edges are dipped a second time to further prevent damage from repeated plugging and unplugging of peripherals. Using this finish on the metal achieves the perfect color without using paint, which could chip away over time.
The finest details: Stainless inlayed logos are laser cut out of a sheet of stainless steel and dropped into the machined-cut outline by hand.
Elevated essentials: Elements like the display, keys and touchpad are all larger for an easier, more optimized user experience. The XPS features a 5% larger display, 62% larger touchpad and a keyboard with larger key caps.
Easier to open: The new twin coil press fit hinge is designed to maximize the screen to body ratio and enable 4-sided InfinityEdge. The new hinge design makes it easier to open, while staying stable when you are using the touchscreen.
Revolutionary webcam construction: The new XPS 15 webcam isn’t just smaller (measures only 2.25 mm)—it’s better. A new 4-element lens delivers sharp video in all areas of the frame, especially in dim lighting conditions, while temporal noise reduction significantly improves video quality. Finally, the lens is assembled with precise machinery to ensure all points of the image are in focus.
Sacrifices nothing: Features an 8% thinner design with no sacrifice to essentials like the headphone jack or full SD card to conveniently move images from your camera to your laptop while you are on the go.
Immerse yourself in sound
Serious about sound: Expand audio into an immersive 3D soundscape with our quad speaker design and Waves Nx® 3D Audio for Speakers. Any music, movie, or game plays with depth and width that seems to defy the laws of physics. The XPS 15 is the first-ever laptop featuring Waves Nx® 3D audio for speakers tuned by multi-Grammy Award® winning producer, Jack Joseph Puig.*
Mic check: Top-mounted mics provide for a better audio experience in Skype conference calls and for far-field Cortana, allowing you to talk to your laptop from up to 14ft away.
Ready when you are
Start in an instant: A built in lid sensor allows you to open the lid and power up in milliseconds, no matter what power-state you are in.
You are the password: Choose between two secure, personalized ways to log on. The infrared camera with Windows Hello recognizes your face, unlocking your XPS with secure facial recognition technology. The fingerprint reader integrated into the power button lets you log on with just a touch.
Work or play: You’ll experience the longest battery life of a 15-inch performance class laptop* on the XPS 15 with a Full HD+ display and 86WHr battery when using productivity applications like Word or Excel. Or enjoy up to 16 hours, 52 minutes* when streaming your favorite shows on our FHD+ panel with 86WHr battery, or 8 hours and 27 minutes* of streaming on a 4K+ panel with 86WHr battery.
