Here"s how you can tell Dell is thinking of the XPS 13 differently: It"s now running 9-watt 12th-gen hãng sản xuất intel processors, whereas last year"s mã sản phẩm was powered by 15-watt 11th-gen chips. According lớn Dell, you can get the new CPU to run at 12-watts in performance mode, which gives you the same performance as the previous processors. While we haven"t tested the XPS 13, that claim makes sense given the massive performance gains we"ve seen from Intel"s new hybrid processor design, which rely on a combination of high-power and high-efficiency cores.

Dell also managed to craft a motherboard that"s 1.8x smaller than last year"s model. (Notably, it"s also the most compact motherboard the company has ever created.) The new thiết lập is so efficient, it only needs a single fan to cool the entire system, down from the two fans in last year"s model. Dell tells us that fan hâm mộ could be noisier than before when it"s running at full blast, but for typical usage it"ll be quieter. On vị trí cao nhất of generating less heat, having more internal space gave Dell room to lớn throw in larger speaker enclosures, as well as a bigger battery (now rated at 12 hours of juice).

While the XPS 13 looks similar lớn last year"s model, there are some notable changes. Now its keyboard is surrounded with the same tinted metal as the outside of the case—no more carbon fiber or woven glass. And, unfortunately, it also loses the headphone jack just like the XPS 13 Plus. There"s a USB-C khổng lồ 3.5mm jack adapter in the box, but that will also take up one of the machine"s two USB-C ports. As with most ultraportables, if you want khổng lồ get real work done, you"ll probably need to lớn invest in a mini-hub.
