Dell's wonder ultrabook

THE XPS 13 is Dell’s first foray into the ultrabook line, with its defining thin design and light weight for easier mobility.

Despite its thinness, the XPS 13 is still fully high-end in terms of specifications and functionality.

Dell’s XPS 13 has a width of 18mm and weighs around 1.4kg. One of its distinctive features is the material used in constructing the XPS 13.

Instead of aluminum, carbon fibre is used to help dissipate heat more effectively and also because it is more durable and lessens the weight of the ultrabook.

The ultrabook also has a 13.3-inch display, full-sized backlit keyboard, processor of either Core i5 2467M or a i7 2637M dual-core processor with Intel HD 3000 graphics, 4GB RAM with 28GB or 256GB SSDs options.

It also has a 1.3-megapixel webcam, dual-array digital microphone, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, mini Display Port, estimated battery life of eight hours, and a headset jack.

Dell XPS 13 also has Smart Connect Technology which enables laptops to connect to the web even in sleep mode so that email and social networking feeds are updated.

The performance and speed of the laptop is considerably good as it is able to load quickly and perform specific tasks in a quick speed.

Aside from that, the physical design of XPS 13 allows the user to work anywhere, anytime.

Despite its numerous attractions, one of the things that is still lacking is the ultrabook’s battery life which can be a crucial draw-back for some heavy users.

When switched on to full brightness, and the power-saving software with the WiFi on is disabled, and the user is surfing and playing music on the XPS 13 , the battery can last just under four hours.

For RM3,499, you can get an XPS 13 equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor, 128GB SSD hard drive and 4GB memory.

For RM4,899, you can get one with an Intel Core i7 processor and 256GB SSD hard drive.
