Dell offers this series in multiple configurations, starting at a Core i5-12500H with 8 GB of RAM, a 56 Wh battery, and a FHD+ matte screen base model, and topping at a Core i9-12900H with 64 GB of RAM, 3050Ti graphics, and a 4K+ touchscreen. As far as biometrics go, there’s IR integrated into the webcam on this XPS 15 9520 series, as well as a finger-sensor in the power button, with Hello support.

Quiet mode is also an option you could go with at 30 dBA , but this limits the GPU power quite significantly and leads to increased CPU temperatures.The laptop feels very snappy with daily multitasking, video streaming, text-editing, and the likes, and it tends to keep quiet while on battery on Optimized, so you don’t necessarily have to go with the Quiet profile for that. I haven't looked into it much, but I remember that this has been reported on XPS laptops in the past.

On one hand, that’s going to help the performance with short duration activities, and on the other, it will allow the specs to run at significantly cooler temperatures with sustained workloads or games. I'm a student in multimedia, so I will be using it for lots of typing, and 4k Video editing, and personally want something that I can organize my thousands of photos and videos on my old HDD external hard drives.
