Dell XPS 15 9500 and XPS 17 9700 versions are probably this year’s most awaited laptops. Although the official announcement has yet to be made, both refreshed versions were accidentally leaked via the official Dell website. The product listings on the site revealed descriptions of the Dell XPS 15 9500 and XPS 17 9700, both of which tend to have thin bezels and offer enhanced performance through new 10th Intel Core processors. Also seen are the latest Dell XPS 15 and XPS 17 laptops with new speaker positioning that could help provide a better audio experience than their predecessors.
The product details for both the XPS 15 9500 and XPS 17 9700 models were briefly carried on the Dell France website. Although the listings were removed shortly but not before some visitors found them, folks at Notebookcheck were able to compile all the data, thanks to some Reddit users who posted images from the official website.
Dell XPS 15 9500 expected specifications
As per the information recently obtained from the product pages, the Dell XPS 15 9500 will be making its debut with a list of design changes to suit what we saw earlier this year on the XPS 13 2020. The latest model will appear to be measuring 13.6×9.1×0.7 inches and weighing 4 pounds (about 1.81 kilograms). This means it will be more lightweight and smaller in size, and lighter in weight than the current XPS 15, which measures 14.1×9.3×0.7 inches and tips the scales to 4.5 pounds (about 2.04 kilograms).
