Dell XPS 13 Impresses Crowd in San Francisco Event

The XPS 13 is Dell’s first Ultrabook, and the company is celebrating the release of this small wonder with a kick off event in San Francisco.

The 13.3-inch Ultrabook displays a 1366×768 screen resolution, which is relatively present in other ultrabooks of the same size. It also boasts its edge-to-edge Gorilla Glass to prevent the screen from being scratched. The kind of glass also matters on other mobile gadgets for a number of reasons.

Under the hood is an Intel Core i 2nd Generation processor, supported by 4GB RAM and the option for a 128GB or 256GB SSD. The notebook has a built in 6-cell battery which is rated at 8 hours and 53 minutes of use, even with the standard drop in claimed battery life it should get you through most of the day.

Rounding out the machine is Waves MaxxAudio 4, giving off high-def sound even on thin machines like this. Users will also enjoy the standard backlit keyboard and healthy collection of ports, including USB 3.0 for fast external hard drive connectivity.

While the notebook uses integrated graphics, this highly portable machine makes it possible to quickly look at your work on a larger display while out in the field, without taking up significant space or weighing down a gear bag.

The Dell XPS 13 will be available in February, starting at $999.
