Dell XPS 9710 quietly fixes the charging complications on last year's XPS 17 9700

The 2020 XPS 17 revived the 17-inch XPS series with new hardware and a sleek 16:10 form factor. It also happened to be the first 17-inch laptop with both Core H-series CPUs and GeForce RTX GPUs powered solely by a USB-C AC adapter. As we found out, however, the battery would still discharge at a steady rate when running high processing loads even when connected to an outlet. Dell would later clarify that this behavior was intentional which had us curious as to how the 2021 XPS 17 would behave when under similar conditions.
