Precision manufacturing 100% of the enclosure is sculpted by a CNC (computer numerical control) machining process. A high precision machine-milled aluminium chassis creates an elegant design with high build quality that\'s stronger and stiffer than magnesium or plastic. Cool and light For the black palm rest carbon fibre inspired by the aerospace industry or the arctic white woven glass fibre palm rest allow for maximum strength and minimal weight. Their design team worked tirelessly to get the details just right including carefully crafted backlighting and stain-resistant coating to prevent yellowing and staining. Superior screen The Corning Gorilla Glass 6 is strong as well as impact and scratch resistance. Gleaming sidewalls Anodizing provides a superior scratch-resistant surface but here edges are dipped a second time to further prevent damage from repeated plugging and unplugging of peripherals. Using this finish on the metal achieves the perfect colour without using paint which could chip away over time. The finest details Stainless inlayed logos are laser cut out of a sheet of stainless steel and dropped into the machined cut outline by hand. Elevated essentials Elements like the display keys and touchpad are all larger for an easier more optimized user experience. The XPS features a 6.8% larger 16 10 display17% larger touchpad and an edge-to-edge backlit keyboard with larger key caps. Easier to open The twin coil press fit hinge is designed to maximize the screen to body ratio and enable 4-sided InfinityEdge. It makes it easier to open while staying stable when you are using the touchscreen. Revolutionary webcam construction The XPS 13 webcam isn\'t just smaller (only 2.25 mm) - it\'s also better. A 4-element lens uses more elements than a typical webcam to deliver sharp video in all areas of the frame while temporal noise reduction uses advanced noise reduction significantly improving video quality especially in dim lighting conditions. Finally the lens is assembled with precise machinery to ensure all points of the image are in focus. Sacrifices nothing Features a 6% thinner design with more power plus no sacrifice to essentials like the headphone jack or microSD card slot. Compact 13-inch laptop design The stunning 4-sided InfinityEdge display enables us to bring a 6.8% larger 16 10 display to the 13-inchall in a 2% smaller size than before delivering a 91.5% screen to body ratio. Display like no other Take full advantage of HDR content\'s superior dynamic range with Dolby Vision which can deliver colours never before seen on SDR PC displays. Dolby Vision content can deliver highlights that are up to 40 times brighter and blacks that are up to 10 times darker. Plus the stunning VESA certified Display HDR 400 display on the optional 4K+ panel enables over 16 million colours that have more depth and dimension than ever before. Watch video Colour that pops Equipped with 100% sRGB and 90% DCI P3 colour gamut your screen delivers saturated colours while a 1500 1 contrast ratio allows you to see the brightest brights and darkest darks. And 500-nit brightness provides more clarity in bright light like outdoors while a 0.65% anti-reflective coating cuts the glare of a glossy screen..
