Masterful craftsmanship
Precision manufacturing:
100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining
process. A high precision, machine-milled aluminium 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 fibre inspired by the aerospace industry,
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
optimised user experience. The XPS 13 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.
