XPS is one of the most coveted brands in the PC industry, lauded for its seamless convergence of elegant design and cutting-edge technology - but there's always more to an XPS device than meets the eye. Nearly 42% larger than its predecessor (27L vs 19L), the new XPS desktop ushers in an expansive suite of next-gen performance technologies and a more robust cooling architecture, making this the most powerful XPS desktop ever made.

With heavy hitter performance cloaked by an understated minimalist design, creators, gamers and virtually anyone who wants to amplify their passions can now own a sophisticated PC with workhorse performance.




Performance powerhouse
Whether you're an aspiring artist or seasoned virtuoso, stay in your flow with the new 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processor (up to i9) that handles creative projects and gameplay with ease alongside the most impressive graphics options available on the market with either NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs (up to a 3090) or AMD Radeon RX GPUs (up to a 6900 XT). Combined with next-generation DDR5 memory supporting up to 50% faster clock speed than DDR4 as well as PCIe Gen5 graphics ready, the new XPS Desktop delivers incredible horsepower to help you conquer every task you throw at it.

What's cooler than being (liquid) cool?
Our engineers thoughtfully redesigned the thermal architecture of the device to maximize performance and soften the acoustics through improving airflow. The front bezel of the chassis is designed to intake cool air and move it from the front and out the back. Notably, the new XPS Desktop is up to 21% cooler under load (with a 125 W cooling solution) or up to 18% cooler under load with liquid cooling (when compared to the new 125 W thermal solution). And the new high RPM fans (up to 5,000 RPM) operate more efficiently at slower speeds which helps makes the system quieter. Overall, the new desktop is more than 50% quieter under load over previous generations, so you can channel your flow state and get things done.

The new XPS desktop is elegantly and mindfully designed to fit seamlessly into any environment, just like the rest of the XPS family. Our team of designers explored the latest materials and tested various finishes, textures and colors to make it look less like a PC and more like a natural and authentic object that fits harmoniously in your space with access ports that aren't distracting and a simple grid pattern. It comes with a choice of two stylish colors - light and dark - including Night Sky and an all-aluminium Platinum silver option. A pair of aluminium feet that peek out from the base add an extra level of poise to our silver model.

Grow into your passion
Our XPS customers have relentless spirits and are always ready to take on their next challenge. They're always learning, growing and expanding their skillsets. That's why it's important to have a PC that is customizable, so the system can grow to meet increased performance demands over time. Using the toolless entry chassis, you can easily upgrade the CPU, GPU, memory, storage and more to keep pace with new technology as it becomes available. You're essentially investing in technology that can scale as your passion does

Creator edition
For those who aspire to cultivate their digital content creation skills - whether that be in photography, graphic design, music production or beyond, they can tap into "creator edition" that comes with pre-selected configurations ready to withstand creative workloads.

Up-leveled support
Providing an outstanding entertainment or office set-up doesn't stop at the hardware—here are the software, support and services that complete the Dell experience:

Availability and pricing
The XPS desktop will be available later this fall, shipping with Windows 11.

It's amazing how much engineering effort went into this machine being as mediocre and un-serviceable as possible.
 
Same as the Alienware but cheaper.
 
Uck.....1990 called and wants its computer case back.

At least it looks quite tidy inside, unlike Dells of the past.

Hey... That case has a front mounted USB-C port, so it can't possibly be that old.

An ugly box with a ton of proprietary and non user replaceble motherboard parts. Kudos Dell.
And a lot of strange plastic mounting brackets.

This is nothing new. They have been using proprietary parts since their inception, such as power supplies, motherboards, front panel connections, etc.
My first experience was trying to upgrade the motherboard within a Dell case back in the Pentium II days, where the front panel connector was not standard.
Second time was needing to upgrade my power supply from 200w to 400w due to a new graphics card in a Pentium 4 machine. Luckily, PC Power & Cooling had specific power supplies for Dell. After that, I decided to build my own PCs.
 
5,000rpm?? Wow
 
i wonder who find those things pretty. I mean the front face look like it's quality stuff (at least on picture) but the look? outch.

The Dell accountant that did the design?
 
Bet ya 10 bucks that they don't ship any non-K SKU machines with an AIO and use their worse-than-an-Intel-stock-cooler instead.
 
These are designed to look like the IT department saved money while at the same time providing a somewhat performant machine. Like when the boss walks through the cubicle farm he thinks "Man this IT department is efficient! Look at these obviously cheap computers that everyone is happy with".

Reminds me of that old Nvidia FX graphics card parody video about it's loud blower. Guess this will be the "Harley Davidson" of desktops :laugh:
 
woohoo! a bigger boat anchor when it breaks! Dell makes the best anchors!

5,000rpm?? Wow
Animated GIF
 
It lacks USB ports.
 
21% cooler under load than the lava temperatures of the previous generation still equals a HOTBOX and I still didn't believe they added a front intake fan.

Why it is not available in beige color?

Where else am I supposed to heat up my lunch box?

Why it is not available in beige color?
Because white will be beige in 12-24 months?

This one won't, you have to have that pastel white plastic... otherwise it won't have the desired effect.

Years ago there was Corsair Obsidian 900D special edition...

Also, where are the PS/2 and VGA ports? :laugh:
 
Yuck.
Yuck.
Yuck.
