2020 Dell XPS 15 and 17 leak (top-firing speakers, SD card reader, small bezels and more...)

I just got a 2019 XPS 13 for work. The thing is an absolute beast. Might ask for an upgrade lol
It's just a more refined overall experience, that leads to higher user productivity, higher resale value, and longer product life
I had so many problems, crashes, freezes and whatnot with my MacBooks over the last years, that I switched to Linux for work now. I don't know when I saw a BoD for the last time with my Windows PCs.
I still prefer a MacBook on the couch though, but not for development anymore.
Have had too many minor annoyances with Linux on my work laptop so I usually just dual boot windows.
honestly I'd rather use macOS and the new 13" mbp is tempting but those damn bezels. Also I'd miss the extreme minor gaming I currently do on my poverty thinkpad.
looks awesome!
i'll wait for reviews about the thermals and throttling before i buy, because previous year's reviews mention heat and throttling as big issues.
(plus the bulging batteries — yikes!)

you can see more? microsoft surface laptops are 3:2 and its even better.
If it's better then why didn't we stick with 4:3 this whole time?
I use my 12.9 ipad pro all the time and its wonderful with the 4:3 ratio actually. There's no way i could use a 13" laptop with its tiny 16:10 or 16:9 screen. Having a 4:3 laptop would be kinda bulky or weird looking but that's what Apple is doing with its $300 ipad pro keyboard. Who knows.
It's a better aspect ratio for viewing multiple documents at a time, or just productivity in general
New 15" vs. older 15". The power of thin bezels.
This is what I love the most.
Might be time for me to go from 13" to 15".
Man, I never thought I would want a 17" laptop again. Especially, one that's over 5lbs, but the XPS 17 just screams quality. Having a larger screen in a smaller body just seems great. Also, the RTX 2060 is an enticing option.
Edit: Wow at those prices though. They're definitely approaching Surface Book levels. Especially at the high end.

It's live in Dell Germany, but I can't configure the machine properly. NO UHD screen for example even if the title of the configuration says so... I hope it's just some initial difficulties they figure out soon
What's the problem with the Killer Wifi cards?

Nope. Nope nope nope.
ÂŁ2299 for the 4k with a 1650ti. Nope.
Edit: as expected with that ratio, also lost the oled screen

2.098,99 € for the config I would want to get in Germany 🤔
I have no idea why everyone just doesn't copy the Thinkpad style of doing this (at least for me it's the best because I use page up / down extremely often). Just have a minor indent where the arrow keys are so you can fit them.

But those chub arrow keys are also ugly!! argh. Also I wish more companies would make black laptops. Enough silver please.
I'm just extraploating the pricing for the 15". If you spec out the 15" with a higher res screen, 32GB of ram, and 1TB of storage, it costs around $2500. The 17" will definitely be more expensive than the 15" at any tier correct?
I'd assume so. So it's prob going to hit $3k. Does Dell still haggle? I assume it will be able to be had with some discounts.
If you want black, go over to the "for work" side and check the precision/latitude lines. They're generally in black and are basically the same laptops as XPS/inspiron.
The thin and light Precisions are XPS 15 with Quadro GPUs. I don't think they are any different otherwise. I don't even know if they look different at all.
It's the same with Lenovo: you can buy the X1 Extreme with the 1650 or a P1 with a Quadro T2000 (or something like that).
The initial move away from 16:10 and 4:3 at least was driven by movies and TV. 16:9 was the standard widescren format there, and it was significantly cheaper to also make PC/laptop panels on the same process than having a separate process to keep making other displays.
It never made any sense for productivity, and in laptops in particular you just get a bunch of unused empty space.
The last generation XPS 13", all of the Inspiron 7000s, and Precision 7000s have those dedicated keys. They switched back the XPS 13" for this year, not sure why. I agree with you though, I have a much easier time navigating using my x230 vs my Dell 9560
You can probably use gesture, but I don't actually see why they cannot make a decent layout since it's a 15 inch without number keys.
This is gonna be a long near-month wait for this thing.
I'm hoping they magically update it to say it's coming sooner. There was a notice that shipments are kind of unpredictable right now.

I use gestures sometimes, but I prefer navigating using the keyboard
I wish they there was more of a visual comparison on the dimensions of the 17" model, so we could see how big it really is. If it's comparable to the 16" Macbook pro then I think the size is perfectly fine. The 15" looks absolutely fantastic as well, but the better cooling and RTX 2060 in the 17" has me leaning that direction.
XPS 15 is built like a tank. I have the 2015 model (9550) and still use it today, and there's been no damage or wobbliness to it. Aside from minor cosmetic scratches to the outer bevel area, it still looks, feels and performs like it did when it was new (aside from the tired 5-year old battery of course).
I expect no different from this year's model, and the new 15 will by my replacement.
EDIT: This is for my work PC and come with full Dell support
Glad to hear it, I already ordered it but it says I won't get it until June 8. :(
