Thermals that power your creativity

Purposeful design:

Down to even the smallest details, the XPS Desktop was designed for thermal efficiency and runs cooler than the previous generation desktop. Cool air enters through a specially designed front bezel, moving front to back—over the graphics, power supply and M.2 SSD storage, without ever being recirculated.

Improved airflow:

Engineered with an open layout, the new XPS Desktop is built without anything sitting on top of the CPU/GPU, to avoid limiting airflow. This enables the desktop to remain cooler, compared to its predecessor.

Quiet efficiency:

The XPS Desktop delivers peak performance with the help of high-RPM fans. While these fans have max speeds of 5000 RPM, they can also run slower, therefore at lower acoustics, for a quieter machine—one that blends into any environment.

Optional liquid cooling:

Liquid cooling is the superior way to cool a CPU—as water transfers heat with more efficiency and less noise than air. The magic happens via a self-contained water loop, without depending on high-RPM fans. The XPS Desktop with liquid cooling is cooler and quieter under load than the 125W thermal solution.

Creation without limits

Creator Edition:

XPS configurations badged with Creator Edition have been carefully selected for those wishing to cultivate their content creation skills—be it photography, graphic design, music production or beyond.

Minimum recommended configuration: i5 processors, 16GB, 512GB, (discrete graphics are recommended for music production or graphic design).

Fast-track your creativity: 

If you’re looking to do your best work, NVIDIA® GPUs can make it happen—fast. Render quicker. Broadcast clearer. Edit videos better. From raytracing and VR to AI-powered 8K video editing, NVIDIA® GPUs paired with exclusive, free NVIDIA® Studio drivers, boost workflow and brings out the best in your creative apps.

Creative command center:

The XPS Desktop has nine USB ports and an integrated card reader, to improve connectivity and RAW image importing for creators.

Elegant design, minimalist appeal

Stylish colors:

 Available in two colors, the XPS Desktop can blend into almost any home or shared workspace. Night Sky features a two-tone resin front and steel on the sides. Platinum Silver sports an aluminum bead-blasted front panel, steel sides, a resin grill, and aluminum feet —for an extra touch of elegance.

Finishing touches:

The XPS Desktop features a minimalist, glossy XPS logo—because every detail counts.

Perfect for today. Ready for tomorrow.

Outstanding accessibility:

The larger chassis of the XPS Desktop, along with tool-less entry and an easily removable side panel, allow for quick access to internal components and more room to easily upgrade CPU, GPU, memory and storage.

Endless expandability:

The XPS Desktop has four DIMM slots, three tool-less backplane slots and room for up to four storage devices. The backplane slots can be used to add sound cards, additional hard drives, PCIe SSDs or accelerator cards.

Unlimited potential:

Built to run the absolute latest and greatest in 3rd party graphics, an XPS Desktop with the optional 750W power supply can accommodate up to 310mm or 350W graphics while also supporting next-gen PCIe 5 graphics.
