Dell Unveils XPS 16 Creator Edition Laptop Powered by Nvidia RTX Spark

Dell has unveiled the XPS 16 Creator Edition laptop, which is positioned as a tool for creative tasks and running AI models locally. It is the first laptop in the XPS lineup based on the new Nvidia RTX Spark platform.

The Dell XPS 16 Creator Edition features a 16-inch Tandem OLED touchscreen with a resolution of 3,200×2,000 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The manufacturer claims full coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, support for HDR True Black 600, and Pantone Verified certification. The RTX Spark platform supports configurations with up to 20 CPU cores, 6,144 GPU cores, and 128 GB of unified memory, but Dell’s entry-level model is aimed at the mass market. The laptop is powered by an 18-core Nvidia N1X processor with 5,120 GPU cores. It has 32 GB of LPDDR5X unified memory and 512 GB of PCIe storage.

Connectivity options include three USB 4 ports (DisplayPort 2.1, Power Delivery), HDMI 2.1b, a full-size SDXC card reader, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 are also included. A 99 Wh battery provides power. The 17.8 mm-thick CNC-machined aluminum chassis provides structural rigidity despite the use of a glass touchpad. The laptop weighs about 2.02 kg.

The Dell XPS 16 Creator Edition with a 32/512 GB memory configuration is already available for preorder in the US for $3,799.99, with sales scheduled to begin on October 16. The company has not yet disclosed pricing for other configurations or availability dates outside the US.
