Dell announced the upgrade of its flagship XPS 15 and XPS 17 laptops with 13th Gen Intel Core processors and GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards. Unlike the XPS 13, which not only received a hardware upgrade but also a new look last year, the XPS 15 and XPS 17 are visually indistinguishable from previous generations.
