system well I like the sound of that but can it deliver on the hype let's find out the master keys Pro keyboard lineup from Cooler Master is available in three sizes each in white or RGB flavors check them out at the link below only a single cable is required to run the XPS 27 everything but the mouse and keyboard including the power supply is contained inside its sharp profession form factor and this thing is pretty darn sexy especially from the front and it feels pretty good too thanks to its Hefty aluminum construction The Touch version is a whopping 372 lb but if that's a little heavy for your tastes the non-touch version is 8 lb lighter though it lacks this really cool articulating ARM that allows the display to go from 5° down all the way to completely flat something even the Microsoft Surface Studio does not do we do need to be careful about comparing this to the surface Studio though because Dell positions the canvas monitor as their Studio killer but since we're at it it should be noted that the XPS 27 screen takes considerably more Force to adjust than the studio on the right you'll find the power button along with a USB 3 port with Power share and on the left we
