Dells latest flagship ultrabook, the XPS 13 is set to launch in 2015 and looks strikingly beautiful. The XPS 13 features a beautiful 13.3" touch screen edge-to-edge "Infinity" display, sporting a resolution up to 3200x1800.
With a bezel at just 5.2mm the XPS 13 is Dell's best offering yet when compared to the original XPS that featured a now ageing resolution of just 1366x768 and last years model which had a reasonable resolution of 1920x1080.
The Dell XPS 13 comes in as a featherweight at just 2.6 pounds, or 2.8 if you purchase the touch screen model and is made of both aluminium and carbon fiber.
Whilst coming in as a featherweight, its performance is much more that of a heavyweight as this model is sure to pack a powerful punch with the help of its central processing unit, the 'Broadwell' Intel Core i3, with the possibility to upgrade up to a Core i7 should you need that extra performance for photo editing, and video rendering.
Memory configurations come in either 4GB, or 8GB of DDR3 RAM, so this should be more than enough for most tasks, as you need to remember although many of us now have systems with 16GB, or even 32GB installed, applications are not quite demanding enough to make use of this as of yet.
Dell claims that the XPS 13 is "the smallest 13" laptop on the planet" with its 13" Infinity display being squeezed into whats effectively an 11" laptop. To aid you during your work through the night, the XPS 13 also has a full sized, backlit keyboard paired with a glass multi-touch trackpad.
Making sure you never run out of life on the road, Dell also claims that this model will also feature a 15-hour battery life time if you pick the XPS 13 up with a Intel Core i5 and a display at 1920x1080. Thats still a hefty system, so if Dell's claims are true, we may have a winner on our hands. But expect a little less from the battery if you opt for the Core i7 model with that high resolution of 3200x1800.
The XPS 13 starts at £1099 with Ubuntu installed for the Operating System, and £1149 for the touch screen enabled Windows 8.1 model with configurations available for both.
