Consider Dell’s latest XPS 13 revision featuring Intel’s just-announced Core Ultra 200V processors, marking the third revamp in a year for the popular ultraportable. The new processors boast a 48 TOPS NPU for AI tasks, faster performance and efficiency cores, and a Xe2 GPU claimed to be significantly faster than previous models. Unlike the Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ variant, the x86 Core Ultra 200V processor eliminates app compatibility and performance issues, but does not allow for memory upgrades, as the RAM is built-in. Additionally, this XPS 13 model introduces the first tandem OLED display for enhanced brightness and up to 26 hours of battery life while streaming video. Pre-orders for the XPS 13 with Core Ultra 200V chips start at $1,400.
