The first tests of the New Dell XPS 13″

The very first MacBook Air was a project still immature, which carried within itself the seed of an innovation for which the hardware was not actually ready. The following years have seen the emergence of more powerful mobile processors and the emergence of solid-state memory, finally going to close the circle.

Although the MacBook Pro Retina very attractive, probably the Air are now more mature and offers something extra in terms of mobility for the battery life and light weight. Performance may be lower, but they are even better optimized: heat and consume less, and yet offers an operating speed of all respect.

This line of computers has been well appreciated by redefining an entire market, that of the ultra-portable. In recent years, there have appeared literally dozens of computers that have taken style and technical features, but nobody has been able to overcome the MacBook Air, which remain a reference point for the entire sector.

A challenge this record, we tried also with the Dell XPS line, but until now, has not been very successful. Seen for the first time at CES 2015, the new Dell XPS 13″ could instead have the right cards to undermine the supremacy of Apple in the field of ultra-portable; unless, of course, likes the Microsoft operating system.

Even lovers of the Mac world could not only appreciate its design, which do not have a style, particularly unique (the wedge shape always remember the Air) has the first real display edge-to-edge of the market, which Dell calls Infinity . In practice, the frames of the screen are really thin, so much so that the front camera has been moved in the lower left.

Thanks to this device occupies the houses as that of an Air 11″ while having a display of 13.3″, a real trump card for those who are very concerned with portability. In recent week’s several trade publications and I am trying to be all of them emerge extremely positive results.

The new Dell XPS 13″ is built very well and with quality materials, is lightweight and compact, has a long battery life, a comfortable keyboard and a decent trackpad also has a number of configuration options to meet every need. In some markets, like the US, there are variants economic CPU Core i3, only 4 GB of RAM and screen Full-HD, with prices between $ 800 and $ 1,000.

The Dell XPS 13″ can not be considered cheap because the basic version costs $ 1,299 from us, but it offers an Intel Core i5 2.2GHz, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of SSD and Intel HD Graphics 5500 with QHD screen 3,200 x 1,800 pixels.
