 The XPS 13 has been one of Dell's best laptops for the past few years and now Intel's introducing a new version of it. It is the XPS 13 2-in-1, which is just what it sounds like. A convertible laptop that can be used like a tablet as well. This really is an alternate version of the XPS 13 and not a replacement or a successor and that's because it is going to be a distinctly slower computer. If you remember Intel's Core M processors from last year, which were a little bit slower than the Core I processors, it's basically running one of those except Intel wants to confuse you so it's named Core I, even though it's actually basically a Core M just with a different name. So the point being this is going to be a slightly slower computer than the XPS 13 that's sitting right alongside it. Now Dell says that you probably won't notice the difference and it even will ramp the power up a little bit to try to make it closer. Dell says that the new generation processors of the Core M style are actually going to be as fast as last generation's Core I, but we'll have to wait and see if that really pans out because on numbers alone that probably isn't going to be the case. The move to that slower processor though does let Dell do a couple of other cool things. This is actually a slightly lighter and slightly smaller laptop than the XPS 13. You won't really notice it but it is there if you line them up. The change also makes this a fanless computer so it's gonna be a little bit quieter and should run a little bit cooler. Because the computer is a little bit smaller the port situation is a little bit different. There aren't full-size USB ports. Instead you have two USB-C ports. One of those is Thunderbolt. There's also a headphone jack still here, mercifully, but you lose the full-size SD card slot and instead you get microSD which I guess is useful. Dell will also sell you this dongle if you want it which is not the most beautiful thing in the world but it does have a lot of ports on it so if you feel like carrying this around there you go. Another thing that's gonna be smaller about this laptop is the battery. Dell says it's about 70% the size of the standard XPS 13 battery which means it's probably not gonna last as long. Now they're quoting 15 hours but I guess we'll have to see about that because they also thought it's gonna be shorter than the standard XPS 13 battery and that does not necessarily last 15 hours. The laptop is going to start shipping this month. It's gonna sell for $999 which is $100 more than the standard XPS 13. So when you're looking at Dell's computers you're gonna have to choose between whether you want something that is very much a laptop and a little bit more powerful a little longer lasting or if you want something that's a little bit more mobile but a little bit weaker but let's do this.
