Dell gives TechRadar an early glimpse of its next flagship Ultrabook complete with a new color and woven glass fiber palm rest.
Dell gave TechRadar an early preview of the next XPS 13 during a tour of its Round Rock, Texas headquarters.
It’s clear the electronics firm’s latest 13-inch Ultrabook has taken design cues from the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1. 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 XPS 13 2-in-1
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 XPS 13
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. Check out our round up of the best Ultrabooks best Ultrabooks
