Earlier this year, Dell updated the XPS 15 laptops with 11th Gen Intel CPUs and RTX 30-series GPUs. Now, these Ultrabooks have finally arrived in Nepal. In this article, we will take a look at the specs, features, official price, and availability of Dell XPS 15 9510 (2021) in Nepal.

Dell XPS 15 9510 Overview:

Display and Display

Dell built the XPS 15 9500 from the ground up last year, so it’s not surprising that there's no design update this year. The new XPS 15 9510 comes with aluminum chassis. The Platinum silver variant comes with a CNC machined aluminum whereas you get carbon fiber composite palm with the black one. It has a 15.6-inch InfinityEdge display with thin bezels. Unlike last year’s model, Dell has included an option for an OLED touch panel. Choosing this gets you a 3.5K display that covers 100% of DCI-P3 color space, 400 nits brightness, and Vesa DisplayHDR certification. In addition to this, Dell has continued with the FHD+ and 4K panels from last year. All of them support Dolby Vision HDR and Eyesafe technology. It has a full-size backlit chiclet keyboard with a 1.3mm key travel distance. There is a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button which supports Windows Hello authentication. Similarly, it has a glass-surface Precision touchpad.

Performance and Memory

Here, users can choose between three processors under Intel's Tiger Lake-H series CPUs. i5-11400H goes to the base variant while the premium model is powered by Core i9-11900H. There is also a Core i7-11800H model if you are looking for a middle ground between the two. It is also the first time that Dell has opted for an RTX GPU for XPS 15 laptops. Users can choose between RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti.  As for memory, you get two SO-DIMM slots that can be configured with up to 64GB of dual-channel DDR4 SDRAM. The laptop comes with up to 4TB of PCIe SSD.

Rest of the specs

Dell has gotten rid of the Type-A port and has upgraded the Thunderbolts ports to the 4th generation. As a result, you get two Thunderbolt ports with DisplayPort and Power Delivery compatibility, one additional Type-C port (USB 3.2 Gen2), a full-sized SD card reader, an audio combo jack, and a security lock slot. For wireless connectivity, there's Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX100 and Bluetooth 5.1. The laptop has a quad-speaker setup with two woofers (2.5W each) and two tweeters (1.5W). This results in a peak output of 8W. This setup is tuned using Waves MaxxAudio Pro and Waves Nx 3D audio. The HD camera also supports Windows Hello.
