Dell has launched its new XPS 13 9300 and XPS 15 9500 in India, bringing a design overhaul while retaining its iconic form factor.
Aimed at creators, the new Dell XPS lineup also gets an internal refresh, bringing the latest series of Intel chipsets to the mix. They also bring a big generational leap to the design, improving the display, keyboard, trackpad and speakers. As of now, only the 13 and 15-inch variants have been launched in India. Amazon.in is the online partner.
Across the board, the major design change comes with the display. They move to a taller 16:10 aspect ratio, thus achieving a four-side bezel-less InfinityEdge panel. This allows them to be significantly smaller than other laptops with a display this big. Even the trackpad and keyboard are bigger in size.
