Narrow bezel design is a trend for future development. Not only can it improve the overall beauty of laptops, but it also allows for a broader view and a more realistic experience. So many notebook manufacturers are now working on narrow-bezel designs. Full of effort, Dell is an early start in the design of the narrow border, the new XPS 13 brings together Dell's deep thinking on the narrow border design these years, gives a more elegant and mature feeling, enough to stunning the audience. At the same time new Dell XPS 13 also inherits the advantages of portable products, exquisite workmanship and other previous products, and the performance is also sufficient.

First, product appearance and design style

· Narrow frame design stunning audience

The new Dell XPS 13 screen border has been narrowed to 4mm, compared to the previous generation, its screen width is about 23% narrower, and now few notebooks can make the screen frame to such a width. At present, this Width is the ultimate in narrow-bezel design. The narrower screen border means that Dell XPS can have a higher screen share. Its screen share is as high as 80.7%, which broadens the user's horizon and blurs the screen. The boundaries allow users to move more freely between virtual and reality.

The camera placement problem has been a problem for many narrow-bezel notebook manufacturers. The Dell XPS 13 camera moved the camera, which was originally placed on the top border, to the bottom frame and placed it adjacent to the logo. This design can be said to be very Clever, space-saving without losing the beauty.

High-resolution screen and narrow border

Want to create the ultimate visual experience, narrow border design is only the first step, the screen quality must be good enough. The new Dell XPS 13 screen resolution is 3840 × 2160, has reached the 4K level, the image display is more realistic and delicate In addition, Dell XPS 13 brightness has also reached 400 nits, a contrast ratio of 1500:1, sRGB color gamut has reached 100%, and now many narrow-brimmed notebook screen quality has not reached such a high, we can see this Dell XPS 13 The very heart of the screen design.

·Stylus is still smart and smart

The new Dell XPS 13 is still very lightweight and flexible. Its bare weight is only 1.21kg, the body's thinnest point is only 7.8mm, the body's thickest point is only 11.6mm, its length and width of 302mm × 119mm, the overall volume has been reduced by 24% compared with the previous generation. Compared with the current mainstream thin and light, compared with its predecessor, its portability has been improved.

In addition to being physically portable, the new Dell XPS 13 is bold enough in color matching and workmanship. Its A-side color scheme is based on the now-famous rose gold color scheme, and is made using a frosted process, showing Dell XPS 13 elegant and noble side, and feel is delicate and delicate.

The new Dell XPS 13 C-face color selection is a pure white color, but also shows its simple and elegant side. Here we focus on the material of the C side, C side using the world's first white silicon fiber made, innovation It will be able to compile the technology to make the entire C face tougher and lighter. In addition, the C face also covers the Velvecron antifouling coating. The antifouling effect is very good, so that the C face is always white. The Dell XPS 13 keyboard Keystrokes and feedback are also designed to be very reasonable, allowing users to fully enjoy the input pleasure.

Finally, talk about the expansion

In order to allow the Dell XPS 13 to have a more beautiful and portable body shape, it provides users with three Type-C interfaces and one SD card slot, which is very space-saving, but it can meet most of the needs of users. Type-C The interface can be connected to many storage devices and expansion devices, so it can basically meet the normal usage scenarios. And these interfaces are still lightning 3 interface, data transmission is very fast and stable, but also for the fuselage charging, the function is very comprehensive.

Second, hardware configuration and performance

First of all, we first come to the overall configuration of this Dell XPS 13. The new Dell XPS 13 is equipped with an Intel Core i7-8550U processor, has 16GB of DDR3 memory, has 1TB of NVMe SSD. Compared to the current mainstream thin and light, The configuration of the Dell XPS 13 has taken a step up, which has given the processor a higher load.

CPU-Z test

According to the data detected by the CPU-Z, the Intel Core i7-8550U processor has 4 cores and 8 threads, and the main frequency is 1.8GHz, the Turbo frequency can be accelerated to 4.0GHz, the thermal design power consumption is 15W, and the level 3 cache is 8MB. , using 14nm production process, with Kaby Lake architecture. Compared to the thin and light entry-level Intel Core i5-8250U processor, the Intel Core i7-8550U clock frequency and Turbo frequency have increased, which makes Dell The XPS 13 can perform even more complex work scenarios while saving energy.

· CINEBENCH R15 Benchmark Test:

CINEBENCH R15 is a software that tests the performance of the processor by rendering a high-precision picture, and finally gives a processor's comprehensive score and ranking. In the CINEBENCH R15 benchmark, the Intel Core i7-8550U's multi-core processing capabilities The score is 582cb, and the single-core processing power score is 155cb. In contrast, the Intel Core i5-8250U processor has a multicore processing power score of 582cb and a single core processing power score of 155cb. In this case, the Intel Core i7- The 8550U processor does improve the performance of the Dell XPS 13.

GPU-Z test:

On the graphics side, Dell XPS 13 graphics capabilities mainly rely on the Intel Core i7-8550U processor above the core graphics, graphics card model for Intel UHD Graphics 620, this core graphics can protect the Dell XPS 13 to complete routine tasks.

· 3DMark benchmark test:

3DMark is a software that tests the computer's graphics processing power. According to the performance of each computer, this software will have different test modes. Testing the Dell XPS 13, we chose the Sky Diver mode that is most suitable for it, this mode is mainly For midrange laptops. In this mode, Dell XPS 13 scored 4936 points, indicating that its graphics processing performance in this area is still a good performance. The lightweight configuration of the entry configuration in this mode is about 3400 At about the same time, the Dell XPS 13's graphics processing capability is much better than them.

·Special test of hard disk read and write speed:

SSDs can now be regarded as standard laptops, but the lack of capacity and high cost have been plaguing many users. In order to allow users to enjoy a more comfortable experience, Dell XPS 13 in the hard drive upgrade is also very powerful It provides a solid-state hard disk with a capacity of 1TB, and it has ample capacity. At the same time, its hard disk adopts the NVMe transmission protocol specification, and has a very stable and efficient transmission speed.

In the special hard drive read and write tests of AS SSD Benchmark, the continuous read speed of the Dell XPS 13 is 2621MB/s, the continuous write speed is 315MB/s; the random read speed of 4K is 933MB/s, and the 4K random write speed is 92MB/s; The total score of the hard disk performance is 1872. This test data proves the strong performance of this hard disk again.

· PCMark 10 benchmark test:

PCMark 10 is a software that tests the computer's overall performance. The test items include storage, calculations, games, graphics processing, and some of our commonly used functions, so the reference value is also relatively large. Dell XPS 13 score of 3598 points, which commonly used basic The functional score is 7952, the productivity score is 5945 points, and the digital creation score is 2675 points. In this way, the overall performance of the Dell XPS 13 is good enough to meet the needs of office homes. In contrast, the same type of load gate configuration The thin and light book runs about 3100 points in this software.

·Special test of endurance ability:

The reason why the light and thin is more portable, one important purpose is to be more suitable for travel, so the endurance must also keep up. Dell XPS 13 endurance is also strong enough, according to AIDA64 Extreme Edition detected battery data, Dell The battery capacity of XPS is 51999mWh, which is much higher than that of current mainstream thin and light batteries.

In the PCMark 8 endurance test, we adjusted the screen brightness of the Dell XPS 13 to 50%, and its final battery life score was 4 hours and 18 minutes. This performance is considered to be excellent. Under the same test conditions, many light and thin The battery life is below 4 hours.
