Dell has introduced a new XPS 13 laptop designed to offer premium quality without an exorbitant cost, particularly targeting young professionals. This release addresses the current challenges in finding affordable, high-quality computers due to global memory shortages. Dell’s commitment to accessible pricing for its XPS line is evident in this new XPS 13, priced at $699 USD, with a student discount bringing it down to $599 USD.
The XPS 13 boasts a 13-inch 2.5K touchscreen display featuring a variable refresh rate from 30 Hz to 120 Hz and full DCI-P3 color coverage, aligning with professional filmmaking and photography standards. It also supports Wi-Fi 7 for smooth streaming and offers up to 17 hours of battery life. Engineered for portability, the laptop features a 12.7mm-thin aluminum body that weighs just 1 kg and is available in ‘Sky’ or ‘Storm’ finishes.
The standard configuration includes an Intel Core Series 3 processor. An upgrade option to an Ultra Series 3 processor will be available post-launch, supporting up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB of storage. Specific details on the base model’s RAM and storage are yet to be released.
The ‘Sky’ themed XPS 13 with Intel Core Series processors is set to launch in the United States in June, starting at $699 USD. A special $599 USD price is offered to students aged 16 and above, as well as college students enrolled in degree-granting institutions. The ‘Storm’ themed models and those featuring the Ultra Series 3 processors are slated for release later in the summer.
