The new Dell laptop features an aluminum chassis like its predecessor and comes with a carbon fiber composite palm rest. The initial model will be the top model in the lineup with a Core i9 processor and GeForce RTX 4070 card. Other CPU choices for the Dell XPS 17 9730 include the Intel Core i9-13900H, Core i7, and Core i5 processors.

The Raptor Lake processors are ideal for the XPS class of laptops because of their slightly cooler operation than the IHX CPUs. The processors can deliver up to 64GB of RAM and 4TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000 series graphics cards output 60W, which is entry-level grade.

The laptop will be available in two screen configurations – a 4K+ LCD panel with 500 nits peak brightness and an FHD+ option with razor-thin bezels and a 93.7% screen-to-body ratio. The former has DisplayHDR+ certification and 94% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. There are four Thunderbolt 4.0 ports, a 3.5mm audio jack, and an SD card reader in the laptop. The laptop is equipped with a 97Wh battery which supports 130W fast charging via USB-C. The laptop supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity.
