Dell Launches New XPS 13 Laptop with Kaby Lake CPU and Rose Gold Version

Dell has just launched a refresh of its XPS 13 series of Windows 10 laptops, with significant hardware upgrades and a new color option that brings it in line with many other models introduced this year by various manufacturers.

First and foremost, the hardware. The new XPS 13 series will be available with two different display configurations, just like the existing generation.

You can choose between a 13.3-inch FHD non-touch display and a 4K configuration that’s also featuring touch support, both sporting Dell’s InfinityEdge. According to the press release issued today, Dell was particularly focused on making the laptop more portable, so its weight is now starting at 2.7 lbs (1.2 kg), while the slimmest version measures just 9 mm.

In case you’re wondering how come they are so light, Dell says it turned to machined aluminum and carbon fiber to make the laptops durable, and it used Gorilla Glass to protect the screen.
