The whole chassis is made from quality CNC machined aluminum, with carbon fiber composite palm rest and soft touch paint. Not to mention the The large 13.3” FHD (1920 x 1080) InfinityEdge touch display, which is made from premium Corning Gorilla Glass.

Everything about the XPS 13 2-in-1 speaks quality… and so it should 🙂

A Closer Look

As far connectivity goes, the XPS 13 2-in-1 comes with just 2 x USB-C ports, 1 x USB 3.0 port, headphone jack and micro SD card slot. 

Incidentally, the USB-C port doubles as a power port for charging the laptop, and what’s more it supports Thunderbolt-3 devices too!

2-in-1 Feature

The XPS 13 2-in-1 is fairly compact and light-weight, which is definitely a plus when youre using it as a tablet. When it’s in tablet mode, the keyboard becomes redundant, so you don’t have to worry about accidental key presses.

The dimensions of the XPS 13 2-in-1 is as follows. Height: 8 -13.7 mm (0.32-0.54 inch) x Width: 304 mm (11.98 inch) x Depth: 199mm (7.8 inch) and weighs only 1.24 kg (2.7 pounds).

System Information

Notice the extra CPUs (4 in total) on the system properties windows. The Intel Core i7-7Y75 (7th Gen CPU – Kaby Lake) is a low voltage dual core mobile processor with 4 threads. It’s designed for notebooks, laptops and tablets, so don’t be surprised to find out it only a dual core.

Battery Life

Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 features a 4-cell 46W li-ion battery, which should give you around (cough*) 8-10 hours of heavy usage according Dell. Realistically speaking, I’d say 4-6 hours … there is an Intel Core i7 inside!
