Dell XPS 13/14/15/16/17 — 32 models in the used-laptop catalog , spanning 2015 to 2026 , priced from $274 to $2967 . This guide covers the configuration spread across the line and which setups are worth buying in 2026.
Where the Dell XPS line stands in 2026
XPS is Dell's premium consumer line — 32 models from 2015 to 2026, split between 18 ultrabooks (the XPS 13 dynasty), 11 larger XPS 15/16/17 machines with dedicated GPUs, and 2 convertibles. It is the widest price range in this catalog's series guides: $274 for a 2018 2-in-1 to $2,967 at the top, with a median of $695. RAM ceilings reach 96 GB, weights stay 1–2.51 kg, and screens run 13.3 to 17 inches.
The configuration spread
Core i7 (40 configs) and Core i5 (25) carry the line, with Core Ultra 7 (11), Core i9 (10) and Core i3 (4) at the margins. The GPU story depends entirely on screen size: XPS 13 units are integrated-only (Iris Xe, UHD Xe G4, Arc iGPU), while XPS 15/16/17 carry GTX 1050/1650 Ti through RTX 3050 (4 configs), RTX 4050 (4), RTX 4060 (3) and RTX 4070 (3). Snapdragon X arrives on the 2024 XPS 13 9345.
Price versus age
The ladder tracks size class as much as year: 2017–2020 XPS 15/17 units ask $274–$650, 2021–2022 $652–$840, 2023 $954–$2,967, 2024 $1,084 flat, 2026 $1,400 flat. Two honest outliers stand out. The 2016 XPS 13 9360 asks $1,087 — more than 2024 machines — a pricing artifact worth negotiating around. And the 2023 XPS 16 9640 tops the roster at $2,967 while carrying an RTX 4050 — flagship ask, mid-tier GPU, so always check the graphics column.
Which one to buy
Best value with a real GPU: the XPS 15 9510 (2021, $652, Core i5 11400H + RTX 3050) and its 2022 successor, the 9520 ($798, Core i5 12500H + RTX 3050). Big-screen pick: the XPS 17 9730 (2023, $954, Core i5 13500H + RTX 4050) — 17 inches of OLED-class chassis under $1,000. Modern creator: the XPS 14 9440 (2024, $1,084, Core Ultra 7 155H + RTX 4050). Ultrabook value: the XPS 13 9315 (2022, $840, Core i5 1230U + Iris Xe) or the budget XPS 13 9305 (2020, $441, Core i3 1115G4). Exotic floor: the XPS 15 9575 2-in-1 (2018, $274, Core i5 8305G + Radeon RX Vega M GL) — the roster's cheapest machine and its rarest chip.
Bottom line
Across the roster: best-CPU score 58.9, best-GPU score 39.9, performance index 51, gaming index 48, and the median configuration clears roughly 13 games at recommended settings — more gaming reach than a typical premium ultrabook line, courtesy of the XPS 15/17 dGPU models. Portability 46 and mobility 40.5 sit mid-pack because the roster mixes 13-inch and 17-inch machines. Reliability (47) is average. The XPS case is premium build at used prices: 2021–2023 XPS 15/17 at $652–$954 is the sweet spot.
