The first Dell Ultrabook has arrived

As I said we waited, Dell doesn't miss out on this year 's biggest trend, and it hasn't come up with any Ultrabook.

In the battle against Apple’s MacBook Air, Dell is also taking a gun, we can’t complain about the XPS 13. The 1,36-pound device is only 6 to 18 millimeters thick, and the laptop thins from the battery to the touchpad. The $ 999 dream-starting starting price also included an aluminum cover and carbon fiber case, and as its name suggests, the notebook operates with a 13-inch display. Of course, we get LED backlighting as well as Gorilla Glass protection, and the resolution is 1366 × 768 pixels. At the entry level, we can expect a Core i3 processor, 4GB of memory and a 128GB SSD. With less attention to your wallet, i5 and i7 CPUs as well as 256 gig of storage will also be available. Of course, the first series will still be based on Sandy Bridge, but an Ivy Bridge update may come later.

To our great delight, the keyboard boasts backlighting, the 47 Wh battery provides eight hours of run time, and the Intel HD 3000 chip will be responsible for the graphics display. In addition to the usual accessories (USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.), you can also welcome Intel Smart Connect and Rapid Start technology at the time of purchase. The Ultrabook, which arrives in February, expands the XPS family, so (and of course Dell's statements) we can conclude that this machine will not only satisfy the tastes of ordinary users, but also IT professionals will be fine with it.
