Further, working in the direction of upgrading its iconic Dell XPS 13-inch lineup, the company is now moving past its conventional design elements. While keeping the minimal bezels, portability, and speed of the device, Dell plans to follow pursuit to market leaders and make its own laptops 2-in-1 convertibles.
Yes, you’ve read it right. Dell is joining the league of Lenovo Yoga and HP Spectre laptops with this upcoming release which has been spotted by Windows Central on the company’s website. Dell has spoiled the surprise for this release, which is expected to happen at CES’17 this week, with a product page for the same.
Though the product page comes with an image of the XPS 13 convertible laptop, it still doesn’t shed much light on the internal specifications. We can, however, notice that Dell decided to retain most of the design aesthetics of its latest XPS 13 laptop including its edge-to-edge display called Infinity Edge. It is also expected to port over the current internals — Intel’s Kaby Lake processors, and other storage plus connectivity options.
Also, Microsoft is encouraging Windows 10 hardware adopters to built touchscreen laptops, with biometric authentication features, to add-on to the user experience. So, we’d appreciate if Dell has decided to pack in an IR camera or a fingerprint sensor into their new XPS 13-inch convertible. Both of these technologies can easily complement Windows Hello, thus, enabling you to further secure your data. It would also be important to see if the company decides to bring about a change in ports — removing traditional USB 2.0 in favor of USB Type-C.
Now, you can enjoy more intuitive control over your content in the form of a complete laptop or a handy 13-inch tablet to help you work on the go. More details about Dell’s XPS 13 2-in-1 convertible will be unveiled at the CES show floor from 5th to 8th January in Las Vegas. Stay tuned for more updates from the world’s largest electronic show in the coming days.
