There’s also aerospace-inspired carbon fiber used in the design of the black palm rest. It is cut from a block of aluminum in two pieces and features diamond-cut sidewalls. That’s because you’ll find carbon fiber palm rests on the XPS, and an all-aluminum finish and design on the MacBook Pro.ĭell’s XPS 17 takes a lot of design cues from the rest of the XPS lineup.
