Yesterday, Dell Technologies officially introduced its XPS 13 laptop. This all-new laptop is said to compete with the MacBook Neo on price, while, as per the company, it exceeds on features when compared to the MacBook Neo.
Dell XPS 13: Features
The XPS 13 is 12.7mm thin and only 1kg in weight, making it the thinnest and lightest XPS ever made. It’s smaller and a half pound lighter than the MacBook Neo with a larger display. Dell has boasted the standard features of this laptop that won’t be available on a MacBook Neo: a 2.5K touch display, backlit keyboard, faster USB-C (3.2 Gen 2), Intel WiFi 7, Windows Hello and Quad speakers.
The 13.4-inch 2.5K touch display offers 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut and 500 nits brightness. Equipped with variable refresh rate technology, the display adjusts automatically between 30Hz and 120Hz depending on what’s on screen. It is powered by Intel Core Series 3 or Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors (available post launch) with up to 32GB LPDDR5X RAM.
With Intel WiFi 7 offered standard, all that rich content can be streamed seamlessly. With a 52Wh battery, it offers up to 17 hours of battery life. The dual-fan thermal architecture helps it stay cool and quiet. The chassis is aluminium (rigid, sleek and ultra-thin), while the laptop comes with a backlit keyboard and traditional touchpad.
Dell XPS 13: Availability
It comes in Sky and Storm finishes. The XPS 13 with Intel Core Series 3 processors (8GB RAM and 512GB SSD) will arrive in June, starting at $599 for students (16 and up) and $699 for everyone else.
The XPS 13 with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors (up to 32GB RAM and 1TB storage) and the Storm colourway will be available later this summer.
