specs: i7-7500U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, non-touch. DFO price is RM4900, dell online is RM6399.


just checked in Dell Malaysia. cheapest RM4,399 for i5-7200U, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, non-touch

Dell XPS 13 with 8th Gen Intel Processors Arriving in Malaysia in October

https://www.lowyat.net/2017/142879/dell-xps...laysia-october/

Beyond the new choice of processors, the new XPS 13 isn’t all that different from previous generations. It retains the very same design, including the impressive InfinityEdge display. Aside from that, the laptop also comes with a slew of different configurations – four of them, in fact.

Let’s start with the most affordable RM4,999 XPS 13. It features a 13.3-inch Full HD non-touch display, an Intel Core i5-8250U processor paired with 4GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD, as well as Intel HD graphics; all variants of the XPS 13 does not come with any discrete GPU.

A tier up is the RM5,999 model, which offers double the RAM and SSD storage of the previous variant. Of course, this particular model also comes with a higher resolution QHD+ touch display.

And then we have the third option: retailing at RM6,899, this XPS 13 adds a Core i7-8550U processor along with a QHD+ display, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage.

Last but definitely not least is the top-of-the-line XPS 13. Packed with a very generous 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, this model goes for RM7,399.

The new Dell XPS 13 will be available in Malaysia from 6 October onwards.

Dell XPS 13 2018 - An early glimpse of the next Dell XPS 13 teased way ahead of CES 2018

Gone are the full-size USB 3.0 ports in exchange for three USB-C ports. Sadly, this has also meant the SD card reader has been switched out for a Micro SD card slot.

Dell also introduced the updated Dell XPS 13 with a new Alpine White and Rose Gold color. The palm rest is made of a new woven glass fiber material that feels similar to carbon fiber material involves weaving a crystalline medium and a clear resin that give it a soft but firm structure.

Dell explained it had to develop the new material because it couldn’t produce an authentically white carbon fiber and it was unsatisfied with just giving it a coat of white paint.

Otherwise, Dell is keeping its lips sealed on more details about the new Dell XPS 13, but you can expect to hear much more about it at CES 2018.

Dell has revealed and released a refreshed version of its well-received XPS 13 laptop, this time embracing inspiration from the fashion world as well as sporting updated innards.

The new XPS comes in Rose Gold edition which mixes gold and white accents to slather the ultraportable with a distinctive look.

Dell claims it is the first company to use woven glass fibre in a laptop to achieve an alpine glass weave into the XPS 13 that also has a titanium oxide coating to offer a ‘pearlescent’ sheen while being UV and stain-resistant.

A white palm rest made out of a crystalline silica material makes use of nine composite layers to be “literally woven in” according to Dell.

Keeping with the outside of the XPS 13, the new laptop is now 3.4mm or 30% thinner than its predecessor as well as 1.2kg lighter. But it still manages to squeeze a 13-inch InfinityEdge display into an 11-inch frame. That display now hits a 4k UHD resolution as opposed to the QHD+ of the older XPS 13, though a Full HD model is also available.

A healthy bevy of ports is on offer, from two Thunderbolt 3 connections and micoSD card reader, to the usual suspects of USB Type-C with DisplayPort support and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Under the hood, the XPS 13 make use of Intel’s eighth-generation Core i quad-core chips, offering the Core i5-8250U running up to 3.4GHz and the Core i7-8550U clocked at 4.0GHz. RAM is predictably offered in 4GB to 8GB of LPDDR3 running at 1866MHz or 16GB running at 2133MHz.

Storage starts at 128GB of SATA SSD, topping out at 1TB of fast booting PCIe SSD. Battery life is being touted at 20 hours for the new XPS 13 with the Full HD display, while the 4K model will expect 11 hours of battery power; we’ll have to give that a test before we can backup Dell’s claims.

Dell is championing its Power Manager feature to balance battery life and performance, as well as thermal management to supposedly keep the XPS 13 running at peak performance for longer.

Part of this comes from the XPS 13’s use of GORE Thermal Insulation which uses the same silica aerogels used in the Mars Rover. The aerogel is used to direct heat out of the laptop without the need for bulky fans. Again this is something we’d need to put to the test to see if it is up to the task.

A suite of biometric identification features are on offer as well from voice, facial and touch recognition facilitated by an optional fingerprint sensors, microphones, and an infrared camera as well as Windows Hello and Cortana on the software side.

The new XPS 13 is on sale today starting at £1,269 on Dell.com and John Lewis, with the Rose Gold model available February at a price of £1,669. A Ubuntu version is also available for £1,319.
