Dell XPS 15 Overview
Dell XPS 15 (Kaby Lake) lineup received much recognition in the last two years, and we mostly agree with actual reviews out there, but if you go for the 15-inch version, you should consider a good number of tricks.

Every other model came with a quad-core 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-6700HQ (with Turbo Advancing up to 3.5GHz) and 16GB DDR4 memory. Here, the main variation between the spare models is storage space.
