this video from CES 2017 is brought to you by dbrand check them out at the link
in the video description so they kicked us out of the regular filming area but
there was no way I was going to leave the Dell Booth whatever you call this
thing without covering the XPS 132 in1
so if you guys are looking at it going gee that looks an awful lot like the regular XPS 13 then uh that would be
definitely intentional so still here are the infinity bezels so the super slim
bezels still here here is the aluminum and carbon fiber construction and still
here is the light portable feel and the
very good keyboard and build quality especially considering the size of this
device I'm just going to manhandle it a little bit here but they had to make a
lot more changes than you would probably think in order to get a twoin one hinge
in it so you get your laptop mode you get you put it down like this mode you
get your tablet mode in order to do that
they had to make the device thinner so they were able to save some space by
going from a u series processor to a y series processor do we lose some
performance yes however a y series
processor is a 5 wat processor and Dell is using some voodoo magic to run it at
7 Watts pretty much all of the time with no active cooling whatsoever so they
save some additional space inside for that they also did reduce the battery
size a little bit but they see this as a product for a different consumer and
that's why both products are going to stay in the lineup together another cool
fun fact is while you're plugged in it can actually boost up to 9 Watts for
minutes at a Time closing the performance Gap further it's available
with up to 16 gigs of RAM and up to a 1 tbte SSD and in terms of IO I think they
found a pretty good balance you get a Thunderbolt port on the left that can
also be used for charging with a headphone and microphone Jack as well as
their trademark battery life indicator and then on the right side you don't get
another Thunderbolt they would have needed another controller for that but you get a type-c and you get a Micro SD
slot which is great for Content creators since you can easily adapt a Micro SD up
to a fulls sizee SD for your camera if you're into that sort of thing they
include a CA adapter in the Box in case you just want to plug in a mouse and
that's all you really need and they've made some other tweaks that I really
like as well so 1080p screen or 1800p personally i' would go for the 1080 for
the extra little bit of battery life and they've moved the camera which supports
Windows hello just like freaking awesome like hello all other manufacturers can
you guys all please start doing this cuz it's freaking sick they moved it from
the bottom left to the center so you don't look off kilter when you're on a
conference call or whatever else speaking of conference calls it's kind
of a business-oriented skew they've got a fingerprint reader and dedicated page
up page down Keys which I'm told is important though I personally am not a
huge fan of that everything else pretty much I like about it so let me know in
the comments you guys want to see a full review of this puppy I want to hear from
you guys and uh thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe and a huge
