The design revolution was initiated by the XPS 13, which unveiled our vision for the future through its iconic design. Weighing just 2.6lbs, it stands as our thinnest and lightest XPS model, ensuring you can effortlessly carry it wherever your destination may be. The revamped laptop now offers three new display options, including FHD+, QHD+ touch, and 3K+ OLED touch, allowing you to enjoy a versatile visual experience suitable for everyday productivity or high-resolution content creation. The XPS 13 serves as the perfect multitasking companion, striking the ideal balance for school, work, personal projects, or entertainment.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI) are spearheading the latest surge of innovation, ushering in a new era of possibilities on personal computers. The integration of AI acceleration directly into devices marks a noteworthy advancement, a topic we previously explored, but let’s delve deeper into this transformative technology.
The cutting-edge XPS portfolio, driven by Intel Core Ultra processors, boasts a built-in AI acceleration engine, complemented by a Neural Processing Unit (NPU). This groundbreaking addition liberates the PC from sole reliance on the CPU or GPU for processing power and performance. Imagine being a mobile creator, constantly on the move, fine-tuning photos in Adobe Lightroom. This innovative technology automatically taps into the optimal compute engine for your workload, enabling faster image editing without compromising battery life.
All laptops within the XPS lineup come equipped with Copilot in Windows 11, leveraging the prowess of AI to streamline your daily tasks, making them more efficient and effortless. The portfolio also introduces a dedicated Copilot key, simplifying access to your everyday AI companion. Now, with a simple key press, you can swiftly connect with your AI helper and enhance your productivity.
In our commitment to sustainability, we have incorporated more eco-friendly materials into both product design and packaging. The new XPS family sets a benchmark for sustainable materials, introducing recycled aluminum and low-emission aluminum derived from renewable energy sources. This groundbreaking shift reduces the carbon footprint of these materials by up to 89%. The packaging, crafted from 100% recycled or renewable content, brings us closer to achieving our ambitious 2030 Advancing Sustainability Goals.
The new XPS family proudly holds the EPEAT Gold certification, meeting stringent environmental standards. Additionally, these laptops comply with EPEAT’s latest and rigorous climate criteria, earning the coveted EPEAT Climate+ Designation. This recognition signifies that the XPS family adheres to industry best practices for decarbonization, reinforcing our commitment to a sustainable and responsible computing future.
