The Dell XPS 17 9720 (XPS 17 Series) 2TB / 64GB is Dell's 2022 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 19.5 x 374.5 x 249 ( = 0.77 x 14.74 x 9.8 in) display, the Intel Core i7-12700H 14c/20t 14 x 1.7 - 4.7 GHz, 115 W PL2 / Short Burst, 45 W PL1 / Sustained, Alder Lake-H chipset. At AED 7,499 in the UAE and ₹2,39,990 in India, it sits firmly in the flagship tier.
The Dell XPS 17 9720 excels with its Intel Core i7-12700H and 64GB DDR5-4800 RAM, delivering exceptional multitasking and sustained CPU performance, while the RTX 3050’s 4GB GDDR6 GPU handles light 3D rendering and AI tasks. The 97Wh battery lasts up to 7.5 hours under moderate use, outperforming most 17-inch rivals. It targets professionals running heavy Excel models, virtual machines, or compiling code across multiple containers—those needing dense RAM and Thunderbolt 4 for dual 4K external displays. Its weakness is thermals: under sustained GPU load, the RTX 3050 throttles hard due to poor heat dissipation, limiting real-world rendering gains. The 2TB SSD is fast but lacks PCIe 4.0. In UAE at AED 7499, it’s overpriced compared to similarly specced Lenovo ThinkPad P16s. In India at ₹239990, it’s unjustifiably expensive—local competitors offer RTX 4060 and 16GB more RAM for under ₹210000, making this a poor buy despite its premium build.
