Masterful craftsmanship

Precision manufacturing: 

100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining process. A high precision, machine-milled aluminum chassis creates an elegant design with high build quality that’s stronger and stiffer than magnesium or plastic.

Cool and light:

The black carbon fiber palm rest is inspired by the aerospace industry allowing for maximum strength and minimal weight.

Superior screen: 

The latest Corning Gorilla Glass 6 is strong, as well as impact and scratch resistant.

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 massive display, a big, comfortable touchpad and an edge-to-edge backlit keyboard with large key caps for maximum productivity.

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 17 webcam is small (only 2.25 mm) and also better. A new 4-element lens uses more elements than a typical webcam to deliver sharp video in all areas of the frame, while temporal noise reduction uses advanced noise reduction, significantly improving video quality, especially in dim lighting conditions. Finally, the lens is assembled with precise machinery to ensure all points of the image are in focus.
