Dell has been silent on the Ultrabook font for a while for a while-until the XPS 13 came and taught
everyone a lesson that is. Dell XPS 13 is a stunner from every single angle -plus - it uses the most premium
material,offers performance and is sturdy enough for everyday use.
What set it apart from the usual UltraBook is that it's noticeably smaller - about the size of an 11-inch notebook but it is still manages to fit in a 13-inch screen. The entire screen is covered with the layer of Gorilla Glass for added ruggedness. The top lid is machined aluminium while the base is moulded from carbon fiber.It's also noticeably thinner with a tapered shape-6mm at the thinnest and 18mm at the thickest.
Open it up and and the island-style backlit keyboard stares back at you - the contracts between the black
palmrest,keyboard & aluminium lid is appealing .The screen is great quality too,but a bit too reflective outdoors.
Performance is as you would expect -handles everything with ease,except high-end 3D gaming. The solid
state drives and numerous tweaks ensure ultra-fast boot and sleep from wake.Battery life is a heady 5 to 7
hours, depending on what works you do.
While it is undeniably fantastic to look at and hold,the XPS also has to make do with only two USB port
(one is USB 3.0), a display port and 3.5mm audio jack. There is no Ethernet,HDMI out,SD card slot or
VGA out. In a sense,it takes minimalist approach,quite like the MacBook Air, which offers a similar arrangement. The limited numbers of ports could be a deal-beaker for someone who often need to connect to larger display via HDMI, to wired Ethernet or for someone who regularly use a lot of USB peripherals.
But for anyone looking at a non-Mac head-turner,your search is over.
