Dell introduces ultrabooks | Dell 2-in-1
Dell’s high-end computer series goes by the name XPS and has introduced varied systems over time that have made innovative advancements in their respective fields. In 2015, the trends of ultrabooks and Microsoft’s presence on the market forced them to make changes to their design. Every element from the external features in XPS 13 and XPS 15 was altered, annihilating every connections point between old and new designs. The XPS 13 is refreshed for 2018 with the company’s design team once again managing to make it thinner, lighter and stronger than ever.
Dell’s new convertible comes equipped with Intel’s eighth-generation processor, offering the user the choice between a quad-core Core i5 or a quad-core Core i7. The second-generation 4K Infinity Edge Touchscreen now offers a sleek 45% screen-to-body ratio and reduced bezels. This product is capable of withstanding a banging and scratches, thanks to its unique Gorilla Glass 4 protection. Dual-channel LPDDR3 memory is installed at up to 4GB per chip and is clocked at 2133MHz in this particular model.1TB M.2 storage is also included that can be installed via PCle SSD.
Other features include a sub-illuminated keyboard, Killer Wireless AC 1435 network card adaptability, a doubling of fans and heat sinks – the company claims it’s the first Gore Thermal Insulation system on a laptop – and the inclusion of three Thunderbolt 3 ports for compatibility with latest peripherals.
The Dell 2-in-1 comes in two designs, silver/black and Rose Gold with Alpine White. The material used for the frame of the device is carbon fiber and machined aluminum. The white interior has been coated with a special resin designed to resist UV rays and stains.
