Earlier today,on Dell newly redesigned XPSnotebooks, the 13 and 16. I have to say, as discerning as we are typically about notebooksdesign, we’re impressed. It’s clear Dell taken notice of detail in revamping its premium line, plus the effort has in excess of payed off. First Impressions The XPSline can win you over before open its lid. That’s since the lid has a panel of genuine leather, or a thin metal strip. Other lid is glossy black. Shades of Black In the beginning, the XPSis monochromatic. In truth, though, Dell really enjoyed these textures, making these notebooks certainly not basic black. There’s the glossy lid, plus the matte keyboard and the palm rest, whose paint has subtle metallic flecks, so that it is, look textured when it actually feels smooth to the touch. Capping it off are metal plates on the lower corners with the bezel. Tactile Experience Talking about the trackpad, as it might look bumpy into a from afar, it offers the ideal quantity of friction. Unfortunately, the touch buttons take presctiption the tiny side, and have absolutely too much give. Within the plus side, the typing experience is superb. The XPS’ is just one of those keyboards whose keys are flat and level, but close together (in other words, no island, or chiclet, design). Not merely was typing comfortable, even so the keys were, whisper quiet. Finally, both XPSnotebooks possess a panel of touch-sensitive multimedia controls, which glow white. Unlike the controls on various other laptops we’ve tested, just read was very responsive. Backlights Everywhere So, remember I said Dell paid attention to detail? Well, that white backlighting we admired in the multimedia cp appears everywhere in the notebook. The laptop keyboard is backlit. So might be the touch buttons, a first, so far as we are able to tell. The Wi-Fi indicator within the front from the notebooks plus the depends on the medial side are. Best of all, the consequence is classy (and not similar to, say, certainly one of Dell’s Alienware-branded gaming rigs). Display Although the XPS 13 and XPS 16 have glass-to-glass, LED-backlit displays, the XPS 16 is exclusive in this it’s available with a RGB display. At $250, it comes in a hefty premium, nevertheless for that money you recruit the totally color gamut and better viewing angles. Basically we don’t think that splurge makes it worth while to the average user, photo and video enthusiasts will be thankful. Heck, if you can’t afford it, it is possible to appreciate how stunning the colors look on screen. A Note About Specs Each of us’re about displays, we’ll tell you that theXPS 13 has switchable graphics, to help you to move between integrated and discreet solutions determined by whether you desire better battery or gaming performance. Right now, users must manually switch between the two modes, but Dell expects to release a patch within five to six weeks that can automatically toggle relating to the two when users pug and unplug their machine. Beside that, both machines are available with Centrino 2 processors, and solid-state disc drive options. The best for any premium notebooks line, right? (When we have been reviewing units of those we’ll allow them to have the entire benchmark treatment, after which it we won’t be so flippant about specs. We promise.) Until then, enjoy our hands-on video and gallery.
