![]() ![]() That would be a jump from last year, where the starting configurations with the Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB RAM, and 128GB SSD were at $900. At the time of writing, Dell hasn’t made it clear as to how much each specific configuration will cost, but we do know that prices will start at $1,000. They range from either 4,8, 16, or 32GB of RAM, and SSD sizes from 256GB to 2TB. Memory options and SSD configurations still remain the same. Another option is the Intel Core i5-1035G1, which doesn’t take advantage of Iris Plus, and has last generations Intel UHD graphics instead. There’s also the option for tine Intel Core i3-1005G1, which isn’t quad-core but is a budget option found in the introductory model. Comet Lake did offer an option for a six-core Core i7, which will no longer be available.Īs we found in our hands-on reviews of other laptops with Ice Lake processors, the newer Intel Core i7-1065G7 in the 2020 XPS 13 should offer a slight boost for gaming thanks to Intel’s Iris Plus graphics. Compared to last year’s models with the Comet Lake series Intel Core i3-8145U, i5-8265U, or Core i7-8565U processors, the new 2020 XPS 13 promises a performance jump for light gaming. ![]() It now sports Intel’s latest 10th Generation Ice Lake processors. Under the hood, the 2020 XPS 13 is getting another improvement. You’ll also still find support for Dell CinemaColor, Dolby Vision, as well as CinemaSound to boost the audio and the display performance. On the sidewalls, though, there is now more aluminum being used, running higher up the edges and providing even more durability. It keeps familiar design materials like the glass carbon fiber palm rest and brushed metal exterior crafted out of CNC-cut aluminum. Other design elements on the 2020 XPS 13 are still the same. Though the keyboard looks identical to the one on the XPS 13 2-in-1, it doesn’t use the same ultra-short travel “maglev” keyboard.ĭell even has improved the webcam, which is still on top of the screen, but now has IR support for Windows Hello facial logins, a feature removed from last year’s model. The travel of the keypresses is now just 1.0mm, which is a bit shallower than the previous XPS 13. Keycaps on the keyboard are also 9% larger, and the fingerprint reader (built into the power button) has now moved to be a part of the keyboard layout. The keyboard is now edge-to-edge, and the trackpad is now 19% larger, much like on the XPS 13 2-in-1. Dell calls this FHD+ and 4K+ for the added aspect ratio, but it should be noted that touch is still an optional feature and isn’t standard.īut for all those design changes, Dell has managed to improve other areas of the device as well. Screen resolution on the XPS 13 has jumped accordingly, now up to 1,920 x 1,200 on the FHD model, and 3,840 x 2,400 on the 4K model. Much like on the MacBook lineup, this aspect ratio now means that you should feel as though there is more room on the screen for your content when web browsing. Plus, with that slim bottom bezel, Dell has also managed to introduce a new 16:10 aspect ratio to help maximize screen space. ![]() Visually, that means it feels like the bottom bezel - and all other bezels - are almost not present and the XPS 13 is all screen. Accordingly, the ugly bottom bezel on the new XPS 13 has also shrunk compared to previous models and has gone down in size from 19.5mm to a tiny 4.6mm. It also means the 2020 XPS 13 now sports a 91.5% screen-to-body ratio. The display is now 0.1 inches bigger (or 6.8% larger) over last year’s model. With this new display, Dell has managed to squeeze a 13.4-inch screen into the size of an 11-inch laptop.
