Dell XPS 17 9720

The XPS 17 shines particularly with its extremely accurate-color AdobeRGB panel, which makes it especially suited for image processing. However, you have to accept some compromises in the performance, and despite using the same cooling, Dell has slightly reduced the performance of the graphics card compared to last-year's XPS 17 9710.
