More might, even more slight
Dell's smallest 13-inch laptop3: Your entertainment can go with you everywhere—starting at just 2.67 pounds, the smaller, thinner, lighter XPS 13 is ready for take-off. So perfectly sized for airplane tray tables, you won’t even notice when the passenger in front of you reclines their seat.

Scorching looks that keep their cool
White hot: Inspired by runway trends, the rose gold version of the new XPS 13 debuts an authentic alpine white woven glass fiber palm rest developed specifically for Dell. Our design team worked tirelessly to get the details just right—carefully crafted backlighting, UV- and stain-resistant coating to prevent yellowing, and coordinated packaging and accessories.
Stunning strength: The XPS 13 is cut from a single block of aluminum, so it’s more durable than a machine that’s pieced together. Inspired by the aerospace industry, the carbon fiber of the palm rest allow for maximum strength and minimal weight. Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4 is twice as damage resistant compared to competitive products.
Small details, big impact: Aesthetically, less is more. So we’veinlayed a stainless XPS logo, laser-etched the regulatory details and colour-matched the feet for a sleeker look. The brightened platinum silver finish truly shines.
Cooler than ever: The XPS 13 is our first laptop built with GORE™ Thermal Insulation, which provides thermal conductivity levels lower than air in a thin, flexible format, to keep your laptop cool while it works hard. While the Gore insulation directs heat out of the device, dualfans and heat pipes further lower the temperature of your XPS, enabling greater performance in a thinner form factor.

Eco-wise
Saving our seas: Recognized by CES with a "2018 Best of Innovation Award," our black packaging trays are a step beyond recycled. Twenty-five percent of the material consists of ocean plastics collected from coastal areas, while the remaining 75% is made up of other recycled plastics.
Power efficient: XPS 13 is ENERGY STAR® certified.
Smarter materials: Free of materials like cadmium, lead, mercury and some phthalates, it’s also EPEAT® Gold registered8 and BFR/PVC-free9.
Recycle-friendly: 90% of the laptop’s parts can be easily recycled or reused, and the white bamboo packaging trays are 100% recyclable.
