Dell XPS 13. Precision manufacturing 100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining process. A high precision machine-milled aluminum chassis creates an elegant design with high build quality that's stronger & stiffer than magnesium or plastic. Cool & light For the black palm rest carbon fiber inspired by the aerospace industry or the arctic white woven glass reinforced fiber palm rest allow for maximum strength & minimal weight. Our design team worked tirelessly to get the details just right including carefully crafted backlighting & a UV- & stain-resistant coating to prevent yellowing & staining. Superior screen The latest Corning Gorilla Glass 6 is strong as well as impact & 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 & 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 & dropped into the machined cut outline by h&. Elevated essentials Elements like the display keys & touchpad are all larger for an easier more optimized user experience. The XPS features a 6.8% larger 16 10 display 17% larger touchpad & an edge-to-edge keyboard with larger key caps. One-handed open The new twin coil press fit hinge is designed to maximize the screen to body ratio & enable 4-sided Infinity Edge. It also enables you to open with one hand while staying stable when you are using the touchscreen. Revolutionary webcam construction The new XPS 13 webcam isn't just smaller (only 2.25 mm)
- it's also better. A new 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 micro SD card slot. .
