It has a 93.7 percent screen-to-body ratio, which Dell says is higher than any competitors. The more impressive aspect of this screen, though, is that Dell has managed to fit it into a chassis thatвЂ™s smaller than those of most 17-inch laptops and a decent number of 15-inch models as well. The XPS covers 100 percent of the Adobe RGB gamut, and itвЂ™s bright enough to use both indoors and outdoors (with a bit of glare). Going back to smaller screens - even very good ones like that of the MacBook Pro 13 - made everything look miniature. I watched part of Infinity War, and the charactersвЂ™ faces were so big that I could see wrinkles in expressions and individual strands of hair. Colors looked good (about on par with the MacBook Pro), with deep blacks and clear details. ThatвЂ™s slightly higher than standard 4K screens, which are 3840 x 2160. ItвЂ™s also quite a nice display, with a 3840 x 2400 resolution. ItвЂ™s not practical, for example, to use a Chrome window fullscreen because youвЂ™ll have frustrating amounts of white space on either side. The 16:10 aspect ratio gives you an extra bit of vertical space, in addition to space on the sides.Д«ut if you donвЂ™t often do this sort of multitasking, itвЂ™s possible the screen is too big for you.

I never once had to zoom out to see a full webpage. I always split the screen between two or three open windows, whether I was working in Chrome, editing multiple photos, or Slacking while streaming video, and I was quite comfortable. For those who donвЂ™t: it feels like using a desktop monitor. I doubt youвЂ™re considering buying a 17-inch laptop unless you have some idea of how big that is.

The most exciting feature is, of course, the screen. At 14.74 x 9.76 x 0.77 inches, the XPS 17 is smaller than many laptops in its class.
