Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook Released at CES
Dell today unveiled its ultraportable XPS 13 laptop,
the most compact 13.3-inch Ultrabook featuring an
edge-to-edge glass, near "frameless" display and
all-day battery life.
Starting at 2.99 lbs., and less than a quarter-inch at
its thinnest point, the XPS 13 combines
performance-oriented design with the latest Intel
technology, such as Rapid Start and Smart Connecti.
The XPS 13 delivers second-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, Intel HD 3000 graphics and a high definition WLED 300-nit display. The XPS 13 has 128GB and 256GB solid state hard drive options, plus an additional 100GB of cloud storage through Dell DataSafe for content backup and sharing at no additional cost. Additionally, all XPS 13 units include a 12-month Skype Premium subscription to always stay in touch.
The ultrabook's edge-to-edge display with hardened Gorilla Glass. The device also features a full-size backlit keyboard with a large glass touchpad with integrated buttons and multi-gestural support and offers and up to eight hours, fifty-three minutes of battery life.
The 13.3-inch high definition display with slim bezel fits in a body size similar to the form factor of an 11-inch product.
The XPS 13 is one of the first Ultrabooks to feature Intel Smart Connect technology, which wakes periodically to detect known networks and update calendar and email. With solid state drives and Intel Rapid Start technology, the XPS 13 boots in seconds. Dell will also integrate location awareness via Skyhook and Google Places shortly after launch.
Enterprise-friendly features include standard Trusted Platform Module for BitLocker Data Encryption and optional ProSupport after-sales service and Configuration Services such as custom imaging and asset tagging.
In addition to the Limited Hardware Warranty, Dell is including one year of Accidental Damage Service and one year of theft protection with Computrace LoJack for Laptops Theft Recovery Service as standard.
