The new Dell XPS 27 will be a great addition to the homes of audiophiles as it is equipped with 10 speakers that deliver the best sound out of all the all-in-one (AIO) PCs in the market.

Dell co-created the XPS 27 AIO PC with Grammy Award-winning producer Jack Joseph Puig in order to deliver a new level of audio experience. Full-frequency high-fidelity audio has been built in to produce the best sound possible. Users will get audio quality akin to an external sound bar. The 10 speakers, comprised of two tweeters, four full-range drivers, two passive radiators and two down-firing full-range drivers, all run at 50 watts.

According to Dell, compared to the iMac and other AIO PCs, the new XPS 27 is three times louder, 50 percent clearer and has better bass.

Furthermore, the XPS 27 also provides users with an equally impressive visual experience. The AIO PC features a 27-inch 4K Ultra HD edge-to-edge touch display with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels and a brightness of 350 nits. The screen also supports 100 percent Adobe RGB color gamut. In terms of design, the XPS 27 is built using machined aluminum so it is not only stylish but also strong and durable. Moreover, the articulating stand allows the monitor to tilt for a more natural touch screen interaction.

Under the hood, the XPS 27 AIO PC is powered by sixth-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors with an optional AMD R9 M400 series graphics card for better performance when it comes to games and creative applications. It has support for up to 32 GB of random access memory (RAM) and up to 2 TB of hard disk drive (HDD) storage with 32 GB solid state drive (SSD) memory.

Connectivity-wise, the XPS 27 comes with HDMI output for dual 4K displays, four USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.0 port with Power Share, two Thunderbolt 3 ports with support for USB Type-C and an SD card reader. The AIO PC runs the Windows 10 Home operating system so it is capable of password-free sign-in via Windows Hello and comes with a digital personal assistant in Cortana.

Meanwhile, for more productivity and performance, Dell has also introduced a workhorse PC version, the Precision AIO 5720. It is equipped with Intel Xeon processors and AMD Radeon Pro graphics cards. It also has support for virtual reality and certification for programs like AVID and SolidWorks.

The Dell XPS 27 AIO is now available to purchase on Dell.com with a starting price of $1,499.99. Meanwhile, the Dell Precision AIO will be available starting April 6 for $1,599.99.
