Just a week ahead of CES 2020, Dell has lifted the covers off the updated Dell XPS 13 — a thin and light 13.4-inch notebook featuring 10th-Gen Intel Core Ice Lake processors. Along with the new processors, the device features a new display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and minimal bezels on the bottom, Iris Plus Graphics, up to 32GB of LPDDR4X-3733 RAM (soldered) and up to 2TB PCIe solid-state storage.
As per a recent report from AnandTech, the new XPS 13 makes use of an updated cooling system with two fans, two heat pipes, and multiple air inlets to compensate for the extra heat generated by the more powerful processors. For connectivity, the device features a 2×2 Killer Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.0 adapter, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, a microSD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack.
The 16:10 display on the Dell XPS 13 2020 comes in two variants, including a 1920×1200 panel with full sRGB coverage and a 3840×2400 UHD+ panel with support for 90 percent of the DCI-P3 space and HDR 400 certification. Both variants are also Dolby Vision certified ensuring good visual quality for content consumption. The notebook comes in a black or white CNC-machined aluminum chassis, it measures in at just 14.8mm thick and weighs between 1.2 and 1.27 kg depending on the touch support. Speaking of touch support, the trackpad on the updated XPS 13 is also slightly larger for better usability.
Powering the new XPS 13 is a 52 watt-hour battery rated for up to 19 hours of use on a single charge for the FHD+ variant. The notebook will be made available in the US and select European countries starting January 7 with prices starting at $999.99 for the Core i5 variant with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and the FHD+ display. Along with the Windows 10-based models, Dell will also be shipping a Developer Edition featuring Ubuntu 18.04LTS which is expected to be slightly cheaper than the other models. It’s also worth noting that the older XPS 13 powered by Intel’s Comet Lake CPUs will co-exist in the market with the new model.
