New Dell XPS 13 with 4-Sided Virtually Borderless InfinityEdge Display is Gorgeous
With CES 2020 just around the corner, Dell has unveiled the new XPS 13 laptop. It has been redesigned to give a superior computing experience while also improving on its premium build quality.
One of the key highlights of the new Dell XPS 13 is the virtually borderless InfinityEdge display. It gives you the most screen space possible while creating a smaller, thinner form factor compared to its predecessors. The display is said to have a 16:10 aspect ratio and is 25% brighter. The result is a 13.4-inch screen in an 11-inch body.
It is powered by the latest 10th Gen Intel Core CPU and boasts a long battery life, giving you reliable power and performance on-the-go. Some other features include a larger touchpad, edge-to-edge keyboard, and one-handed opening. You can have this running on Windows 10 or opt for the Developer Edition which runs on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS instead.
The materials that make up the new Dell XPS 13 includes machined aluminum, carbon fiber, woven glass fiber, and hardened Corning Gorilla Glass, making it a solidly built laptop. It maintains its lightweight nature, weighing in at just 1.2kg.
