The Dell XPS 17 9710 Core i7 RTX 3060 (XPS 17 Series) 2TB / 64GB is Dell's 2021 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 19.5 x 374.45 x 248.05 ( = 0.77 x 14.74 x 9.77 in) display, the Intel Core i7-11800H 8c/16t 8 x 2.3 - 4.6 GHz, 109 W PL2 / Short Burst, 55 W PL1 / Sustained, Tiger Lake-H chipset. At AED 4,199 in the UAE and ₹98,990 in India, it sits firmly in the upper mid-range tier.
The Dell XPS 17 9710 excels with its Intel Core i7-11800H and RTX 3060 6GB GPU, delivering strong sustained performance for 3D rendering and AI tasks, backed by 64GB DDR4-3200 RAM that handles heavy multitasking without slowdowns. Its 97Wh battery lasts up to 7 hours under mixed workloads, unusual for a 17-inch mobile workstation. This machine thrives for 3D animators, data scientists running local models, and photographers editing 8K RAW files. However, thermals throttle under prolonged 100% CPU/GPU loads, capping sustained performance below peak specs. The 2TB SSD is fast but lacks PCIe 4.0 speeds, a gap vs newer rivals. In UAE at AED 4199, it’s overpriced because competitors offer similar specs with better cooling and PCIe 4.0 storage at lower cost. In India at ₹98990, it’s a poor choice—local rivals like the ASUS ProArt or Lenovo Legion offer superior thermal design and faster storage for the same price.
