The Dell XPS 13 is improved in every possible aspect. Enough to be awarded with the CES 2018 Innovation Award. It now has a new Infibity Edge 4K UHD display that delivers crisp and crystal clear images. It also adds a Rose Gold with Alpine white woven glass fiber interior with narrower borders that makes way for up to 80% more thermal headroom. It is also has a thinner and lighter design. But, it did not compromise performance as it has the Dell Power Manager that delivers much needed power just whenever you need. It also now has the GORE Thermal Insulation that is the same technology used in the Mars Rover to handle the thermal management.
