Precision manufacturing: 100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining process. A high precision, machine-milled aluminum chassis creates an elegant design with high build quality that’s stronger and stiffer than magnesium or plastic.

Cool and light: For the black palm rest, carbon fiber inspired by the aerospace industry, or the arctic white woven glass fiber palm rest, allow for maximum strength and minimal weight. Our design team worked tirelessly to get the details just right, including carefully crafted backlighting and stain-resistant coating to prevent yellowing and staining.

Superior screen: The latest Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass 6 is strong, as well as impact and scratch resistance.

Gleaming sidewalls: Anodizing provides a superior, scratch-resistant surface, but here, edges are dipped a second time to further prevent damage from repeated plugging and unplugging of peripherals. Using this finish on the metal achieves the perfect color without using paint, which could chip away over time.

The finest details: Stainless inlayed logos are laser cut out of a sheet of stainless steel and dropped into the machined cut outline by hand.

Elevated essentials: Elements like the display, keys and touchpad are all larger for an easier, more optimized user experience. The XPS features a 6.8% larger 16:10 display, 17% larger touchpad and an edge-to-edge backlit keyboard with larger key caps.

Easier to open: The new twin coil press fit hinge is designed to maximize the screen to body ratio and enable 4-sided InfinityEdge. It makes it easier to open, while staying stable when you are using the touchscreen.

Revolutionary webcam construction: The XPS 13 webcam isn’t just smaller (only 2.25 mm)—it’s also better. A 4-element lens uses more elements than a typical webcam to deliver sharp video in all areas of the frame, while temporal noise reduction uses advanced noise reduction, significantly improving video quality, especially in dim lighting conditions. Finally, the lens is assembled with precise machinery to ensure all points of the image are in focus.

Sacrifices nothing: Features a 6% thinner design with more power, plus no sacrifice to essentials like the headphone jack or microSD card slot.

Exceptional laptop experience anywhere: Intel^® Evo™ platform brings the perfect combination of performance, responsiveness, battery life and stunning visuals to a new class of sleek, stylish laptops. Co-engineered with Intel and verified to provide the ultimate experience for life or work anywhere.

Breaking the boundaries of performance for thin and light laptops: The speed and intelligence of 11^th Gen Intel^® Core™ processors and up to Intel^® Iris^® X^e graphics makes your experience fast, smooth, and easy.

Stay unplugged with long battery life: Experience incredibly long battery life — up to 14 hours, 11 minutes* on a Full HD+ model when streaming your favorite shows or up to 8 hours and 12 minutes* of streaming on a 4K+ model.

Faster memory, more storage: Your system boots and resumes in seconds thanks to up to 2TB of solid-state drive storage. Multi-task in a flash even on intense applications with up to 32GB of memory.

Killer™ Wireless: The optional Killer AX500-DBS includes advanced Wi-Fi 6 technology that more than doubles the theoretical throughput of previous generation 80MHz 2×2 Wi-Fi 5 products. The AX500-DBS automatically detects, classifies, and prioritizes streaming video, communication, and game traffic for fast, smooth online experiences.

Advanced thermal redesign: From dual fans separated to spread heat over a larger area and a single heat pipe designed with a single evaporator and dual condenser, to hidden exhaust venting through the hinge, thermal design ensures you have the best performing system in the thinnest form factor possible. Additionally, your system is equipped with GORE™ Thermal Insulation, which provides thermal conductivity levels lower than air in a thin, flexible format to help keep components cool.

Display like no other: Take full advantage of HDR content’s superior dynamic range with Dolby Vision™, which can deliver colors never before seen on SDR PC displays. Dolby Vision™ content can deliver highlights that are up to 40 times brighter, and blacks that are up to 10 times darker. Plus, the stunning VESA certified DisplayHDR 400 display on the optional 4K+ panel enables over 16 million colors that have more depth and dimension than ever

See every detail: The optional 4K Ultra HD+ (3840 x 2400) touch display offers pinpoint accuracy for all of your computing needs. See the detail of every pixel in photos without needing to zoom in or see more content while browsing the web.

Color that pops: Equipped with 100% sRGB and 90% DCI P3 color gamut, your screen delivers saturated colors while a 1500:1 contrast ratio allows you to see the brightest brights and darkest darks. And 500-nit brightness provides more clarity in bright light like outdoors, while a 0.65% anti-reflective coating cuts the glare of a glossy screen.

Deep contrast: Get immersed in your content, movies and games with vivid, true-to-life color on the new 3.5k (3456 x 2160) OLED display option. Perfect black provides phenomenal contrast ratio (100,000:1) so content comes alive with breathtaking detail especially in dark areas. Wide color gamut (100% DCI-P3) is truer to life, great for content consumption.

Easy on the eyes: Eyesafe^® intelligently manages light energy at the source – selectively reducing harmful blue light and dispersing it across the light spectrum. Our unique solution combines RGB hardware and software adjustments to more effectively protect against blue light, while maintaining vivid color integrity. Dell is the first to offer this integrated solution.

Start in an instant: A built in lid sensor allows you to open the lid and power up in milliseconds, no matter what power-state you are in.

You are the password: Choose between two secure, personalized ways to log on. The infrared camera with Windows Hello recognizes your face, unlocking your XPS with secure facial recognition technology. The fingerprint reader integrated into the power button lets you log on with just a touch.
