Dell Slides out the Slicker Studio XPS 435

In an unusually low-profile release, Dell quietly updated its XPS line of performance-oriented desktops on Wednesday with the Studio XPS 435. It updates the original Studio XPS with better hardware, more features, and a swankier case.

Inside, the XPS 435 gets Intel’s Core i7 processor, coupled with ATI’s Radeon HD4870 graphics card, which sports a rather impressive 1GB of RAM. The motherboard will be able to handle itself in the RAM department, too: Dell says its six DIMM slots will accept up to 24GB of DDR3 tri-channel memory.

Unlike previous XPS cases, the 435 adopts a slightly less intimidating stature that’s curvy and less angular. It will be available in translucent black accented with orange, or a Mac-like pure white.

Dell hasn’t yet noted when the new XPS will be available, or where it will fall on the price spectrum.

As our Dell XPS 14 review explains, the laptop has a momentous design along with an excellent haptic trackpad and quiet yet cool performance. While it has limited ports and it's usually quite expensive, that’s less of an issue when there’s a $550 discount involved. This particular model has an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of SSD storage. Those are all the essentials you could need, although a little part of us would prefer to see 1TB at this price range.
