The Broadwell-powered ultrabooks on show at CES 2015.
This month sees the release of a bevy of slimline laptops based around Intel's new Broadwell processor.
The smaller, more compact chip allows for thinner and lighter laptops, as well as providing a slight boost to general performance and battery life.
Here are a selection of machines based around the dual-core Broadwell chips (quad-core processors will be released later in the year).
Dell XPS 13 and 15
Dell has updated its XPS line of machines, with the 13-inch Dell XPS 13, seen above, and 15-inch Dell XPS 15.
Both laptops are available with the full-range of dual-core Broadwell Core processors, from the 2.0GHz Core i3 to the 3.1 GHz Core i7.
Dell claims the combination of a more efficient Broadwell processor and a bigger battery allows the XPS 13 to last for 15 hours on a single charge.
The XPS 13, which comes with an aluminium top and carbon fibre base, is slight, with the lightest version weighing just 2.6 pounds.
The vanilla XPS 13 comes with a non-touch, full HD screen, but for those willing to pay extra, the XPS 13 is available with an optional UltraSharp Quad HD+ 3,200x1,800 display, with 5.2mm bezels and capable of showing 5.7 million pixels. The XPS 15 comes with a 15-inch 4K, touch display that can show more than eight million pixels.
Both laptops will be available with 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of SSD storage and with 4GB or 8GB of memory.
The machines will ship with either Windows 8.1 or Ubuntu, reportedly 14.04.
The XPS 13 is available from $799.99 and the XPS 15 will be available from $2,349, when it is available to purchase from later in the first quarter.
