Dell is bringing the Infinity Display to the XPS 15

Computex 2015 is taking place this week in Taiwan, and it seems that the buzz around Windows 10 is prompting manufactures to double down on high-spec PCs intended to launch alongside the OS. Today, it’s Dell’s new XPS 15 that’s turning a lot of heads, much like its smaller sibling did back at CES 2015.

The device’s screen is the main reason it’s grabbing the attention of many attendees — earlier this year, Dell debuted the Infinity display with the XPS 13, and it looks even more impressive on the bigger XPS 15. The laptop is set to pack the same minimal bezel on an even bigger screen when it releases later this year, according to a report from The Verge.

The 2015 model of the XPS 13 was very highly praised in the Digital Trends review of the device back in January of this year. Its high-resolution, thin-bezel display was noted as one of the standout features, so it makes sense that Dell will be pushing that as the main selling point of this new model of the XPS 15.

That said, the company has made very little information available about the device, seemingly confident that the screen is enough of a draw at this early stage. It would follow that the XPS 15 will boast comparable specs and features to the impressive XPS 13, with its larger display providing ample reason for consumers to opt for the bigger rig.

No firm details have been given with regards to pricing or a release date, but sources indicate that it’s at least several months away from release. Dell will roll out a selection of updated models in their various PC lines to take advantage of high levels of interest in the much-anticipated release of Windows 10.

This midrange HP laptop beats the Dell XPS 15 in one important way

Dell's XPS 15 has found its place on a number of our best-of lists, including best laptops and best 15-inch laptops. There are a number of reasons for those accolades, including a robust, yet relatively thin and light design, as well as strong performance and lovely displays.

But that doesn't mean it faces no competition. HP's Envy 16 2023 is a 16-inch laptop that gives the XPS 15 a run for its money. It's around the same price and offers similar or better performance. Is that enough to replace the XPS 15 on our lists?

The Dell XPS 15 has one major advantage over the MacBook Pro
The screen of the 2021 MacBook Pro.

It's no secret that 15-inch laptops (and bigger) are the powerhouses of portable computing. They're used for gaming, content creation, video editing, and serious work.

Two of the best laptops are the Dell XPS 15 and the Apple MacBook Pro 16, each of which recently received updates to faster CPUs and GPUs, but otherwise remained mostly the same. Both are excellent laptops that offer great performance, outstanding build quality, and excellent input options -- but which one is right for you? Well, if it comes down to price, the XPS 15 the much more affordable option. That alone will make the decision easy for some people.

Why the Dell XPS 13 Plus still beats the latest competition in little laptops

Lenovo recently updated its smallest ThinkPad, the ThinkPad X1 Nano, to its third generation. It kept everything the same except for an upgrade to Intel 13th-gen CPUs. Dell did the same with the recent refresh of the XPS 13 Plus. These are both competent 13-inch laptops.

That was a safer direction for Dell, given that the XPS 13 Plus sports an ultramodern appearance. The ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 3, on the other hand, remains a nice little laptop but its design is getting a bit dated. Can it compete with the more contemporary XPS 13 Plus?
