There’s also a 720p camera on board, the speakers and amplifier have 8W peak power and there’s support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

The XPS 17, dubbed the 9730, has the same i5, i7, or i9 soc as the cheaper model. However, it is possible to equip the laptop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 GPU with 12GB of GDDR6 memory. These graphics cards also have 60W of power, 20W more than the XPS 15. The memory and storage option is the same.
