Dell has rolled out its new ultraportable XPS 13 laptop, the compact 13.3-inch Ultrabook featuring an edge-to-edge glass, near "frameless" display, all-day battery life and the latest innovative technology for a better overall user experience.

Dell XPS 13 delivers second-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, Intel HD 3000 graphics and a high definition WLED 300-nit display.

XPS 13 has 128GB and 256GB solid state hard drive options, besides an additional 100GB of cloud storage through Dell DataSafe for content backup.

Additionally, it features an edge-to-edge 13.3-inch high definition display with hardened Gorilla Glass; a full-size backlit keyboard with a large glass touchpad with integrated buttons and multi-gestural support; and up to eight hours, fifty-three minutes of battery life.

In addition, XPS 13 features Intel Smart Connect technology, which gets alerted periodically to detect known networks and update calendar and email, integrates location awareness via Skyhook and Google Places shortly after launch and with the solid state drives and Intel Rapid Start technology, the XPS 13 boots in seconds.

Furthermore, the enterprise-friendly features of the XPS 13 include standard Trusted Platform Module for BitLocker Data Encryption and optional ProSupport after-sales service and configuration Ssrvices such as custom imaging and asset tagging.

XPS 13 also provides a warranty of one year of accidental damage service and one year of theft protection with Computrace LoJack for Laptops Theft Recovery Service as standard along with limited hardware warranty.

Dell president and chief commercial officer Steve Felice said when Dell began the conversation of what an Ultrabook could be, Dell carefully considered how to provide customers not only incredible mobility, but also the kind of performance experience user would expect from something much larger.

"A ‘good-enough’ Ultrabook wasn’t good enough for us. We were committed to developing what an Ultrabook can and should be with the XPS 13 and providing a superior user experience," said Felice.
