Dell has also joined in on the Ultrabook bandwagon at CES as it announced the XPS 13 Ultrabook. With the XPS 13 Dell is looking to fill a void left in its portfolio of notebooks, that has been existent since it discontinued the Adamo series of ultra portable notebooks. On the face of it the XPS 13 is .24-inchs thick at its thinnest point and .71-inch thick at it’s thickest and weighs around 2.9 pounds. Clearly in terms of anorexia it’s not in the league of the Adamo, but Dell is not gunning for pure size zero. The Ultraportable concept caters to an audience that demands a high performance portable workstation with a style and convenience of an ultra portable and Dell surely hopes to achieve this with the XPS 13.
On the specs front the XPS 13 packs in a 13.3-inch display with almost non-existent bezel giving the illusion of an 12-incher and features Intel core series of processors (i3 for the base model), 4GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD. The display gives a resolution of 1366×768 and is further reinforced with Gorilla glass. Apart from these frills the device comes with standard array of ports including USB 3.0, USB 2.0, 3.5-mm headphone jack and miniDisplay ports. The XPS 13 series will start at $999, though Dell is yet to announce release dates. While the $999 price looks decent on paper we doubt it will remain the same by the time the ultrabook hits Indian shores
