Noble 17 – inch notebook: Dell XPS 17 (9700) With 16: 10 – screen under test Graphics cards: UHD, GTX, RTX Conclusion and test table Article in c’t 23 / 2020 read The manufacturers treat notebooks with 17 – inch screens have been neglected for several years. Cross-class trends such as flat housings came from 16 – Customs always last; even with innovative screens such as those with thin bezels, other aspect ratios than 16: 9, OLED panels or high refresh rates, the large notebooks were always later – or even not.

For all those users who still have a portable PC system with a large screen estimate, Dell is daring a new attempt: For the first time in around ten years, the XPS 17 (9700) again one 16 – Zöller in the noble series. As with the smaller models XPS 13 (9300) and XPS 14 (9300) the special screen dominates: Dell uses panels with very slim edges on all four sides, which benefits immersion.

As there, Dell has decided from the narrow aspect ratio 16: 9 adopted and sees instead 16: 10 in front. The plus in image height is just as helpful when reading websites as it is in large Excel spreadsheets or when editing images. Depending on the requirements, there are two panels to choose from: There is a matt display with 1200 × 1200 points (called Full HD + by Dell ) or, as in the test device, a reflective touchscreen with 3840 × 2400 points (UHD +). Only the latter covers the AdobeRGB color space.
