Dell is refreshing its XPS 13 with new hardware, and yes, you can get it in rose gold. The Dell XPS 13 is perhaps one of the most popular devices when it comes to Windows 10 laptops. It’s all because Dell is one of the few computer manufacturers to offer great hardware along with sleek design.
The new updated version of the XPS 13 sports latest Intel’s 7th generation Kady Lake processors, better Wi-Fi performance, and longer battery life.
While the laptop features Dell’s signature exterior design, the new model is now available in rose gold — just because the “rose gold” is the new trend. Thank you Apple. However, if you’re not a fan, you can still get the traditional silver aluminum color.
As always, you can choose between a Quad HD+ touch-enabled or Full HD 1080p infinity display with optional touch. The company also claims that the XPS 13 2016 model can hold up to 22 hours on a single charge. Although when watching video and browsing the web, the company claims up to 13 hours of battery life.
You can also do some casual gaming on this laptop, as the new model includes Intel’s Iris level integrated graphics, but it’s not as good as a dedicated graphics chip.
