Dell XPS 17" 9710 Gray 2021
The massive 6TB SSD and RTX 3060 graphics in a 17-inch 4K touch display set this workstation apart for handling large media libraries directly. Its 32GB of RAM and eight-core i7 processor provide strong multitasking, though the 2.42kg weight limits portability. This refurbished unit is best for video editors and photographers who need high-resolution on-screen proofing and vast local storage without relying on external drives.
