The XPS 27 is a powerful all-in-one desktop PC that boasts a sleek and modern design. The top edge of the system is a venting area for exhausting warm air from the internals, while the bottom right edge of the display features a power button and a single USB 3 port. On the left edge of the machine are an SD card slot and a headset Jack, making it easy to connect your peripherals.
One of the standout features of the XPS 27 is its rear convex back plate, which gives it a unique and stylish appearance. The display of the XPS 27 does fully articulate down into a horizontal position, giving users interesting options for working with touch input or playing games. This feature makes the XPS 27 an attractive option for those who want to use their desktop PC in different ways.
The 27-inch 4K touch display is one of the highlights of the XPS 27, boasting a glossy panel and thin side bezels that make it easy on the eyes. The display also features Dell's Infinity Edge technology, which creates an immersive viewing experience without any distractions from the edges. Colors are accurate and bright, with 100% Adobe RGB gamut coverage and a 1,000 to 1 contrast ratio.
The XPS 27's display is also notable for its wide 170-degree viewing angle, making it perfect for shared use or for working in a group. The screen is an LED backlit IPS display with a sub-five millisecond pixel response time, ensuring that fast-moving action and gaming are handled with ease. There's no apparent ghosting issues to be found.
In terms of audio performance, the XPS 27's internal speaker setup delivers high-quality sound with eight active drivers and two passive radiators. The highs are tight and natural, while the mids sound open and spacious for voice channels. Lows are also tight and clean, although some may find them lacking a bit in terms of low-end presence. Nevertheless, this is a minor quibble, as the audio performance is still very satisfying.
The XPS 27's audio solution is complemented by fast quad-core Intel Core i7 6700 processor, which provides general compute productivity responsiveness and throughput. The machine boots quickly and feels nimble at every turn, making it perfect for everyday use.
In terms of storage, the XPS 27 can offer up over 2.5 gigabytes per second of read bandwidth courtesy of its Samsung NVMe solid-state drive. In conjunction with this fast storage, the machine delivers strong performance in standard benchmarks like PC Mark. The AMD Radeon R9 m470x Graphics engine on board is capable of handling most current-gen game titles at 1080p resolution with good image quality.
It's worth noting that the XPS 27 comes with a single USB 3 port, which can be somewhat inconvenient for users who prefer to use multiple peripherals. However, this is a minor drawback, as the machine's overall design and performance more than make up for it.
In addition to its impressive specifications and features, the XPS 27 also comes bundled with Dell's wireless keyboard and mouse. These peripherals are comfortable to use and provide smooth input and control.
Finally, the XPS 27 features a range of connectivity options, including two Thunderbolt 3 ports, four USB 3 ports, a DisplayPort HDMI port, RJ45 gigabit Ethernet Jack, Kensington Lockport AC power plug, and an audio output. While some of these ports are tucked away behind the base arm in an inconvenient location, this is largely mitigated by the machine's design.
Overall, the Dell XPS 27 is a powerful and feature-packed all-in-one desktop PC that's sure to impress users who want a premium computing experience. With its stunning display, excellent audio performance, and impressive specs, it's no wonder that this machine has earned a reputation as one of the best all-in-one PCs on the market today.
