Dell has unveiled a raft of new XPS devices, all vying for your cash this holiday season.
The new lineup includes the world’s first hybrid with a 4K display, as well as the smallest 13in notebook on the market.
Dell XPS 15
The first of the bunch is the Dell XPS 15, a compact 15in laptop that weighs around 1.7kg.
Powering visuals is an InfinityEdge 4K, 3,840 x 2,160-pixel touch display. It’s also the only laptop display with 100% minimum Adobe RGB colour.
Dell describes the XPS 15 as offering “powerhouse performance”.
That comes courtesy of a sixth-generation quad-core Intel i7 processor. There’s also the added option of a dedicated Nvidia GPU with high-speed GDDR5 vRAM for gamers on the move.
There’s an impressive 16GB of RAM on board, and SSD/HDD options up to 1TB.
Battery life is claimed to fall between 11 to 16 hours on a single charge.
Dell XPS 13
Next up is the Dell XPS 13, which Dell claims is “the smallest 13in notebook on the planet”.
That’s thanks to the edge-to-edge IPS panel, which has allowed Dell to squeeze the large display into a form factor more suited to an 11in screen.
The actual display has a Quad HD resolution – that’s 3,200 x 1,800 pixels.
Providing the processing heft is a sixth-gen Intel i7 processor, with SSD storage options available up to a 1TB capacity for nippy file access.
The Dell XPS 13 is also equipped with up to 16GB of RAM, and features a Thunderbolt 3 port.
Battery life is the real seller here, with a claimed 18-hour run-time – impressive stuff.

Dell XPS 12
Last but not least is the Dell XPS 12, a 2-in-1 laptop/tablet hybrid that transitions using a magnetic connection.
The laptop is reasonably lightweight at 1.3kg, and features a 12.5in 4K display – the only hybrid on the planet to feature such a display, according to Dell.
It also includes two cameras – an 8-megapixel rear-facing unit and a 5-megapixel selfie-shooter to boot.
All devices will ship with Microsoft’s latest Windows 10 operating system on board.
