2-in-1 laptops: Dell's redesigned XPS 13 packs Intel's 10th gen Core CPU
Dell has unveiled a redesigned and higher spec version of its XPS 13 laptop. And unlike the recently announced XPS 13 laptop, which came with 8th generation Intel Core processors, the new convertible comes with a larger 16:10 display and Intel's brand new 10th generation 10nm "Ice Lake" Core processors.
The new Dell 2-in-1 features a 13.4-inch display that's 7% larger than in previous 13.3-inch XPS 13 2-in-1 models and boasts an 85% screen-to-body ratio thanks to thinner bezels. The display has up to a resolution of 3,200 by 2,400 pixels, offering consumers the option to have a 4K Ultra HD+ screen.

Dell boasts that the XPS 13 2-in-1 has its smallest ever camera that measures 2.25 mm and sits in the top of the device's thin bezels.
The 2019 Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 will be available in July starting at $1,000.
