this video from CES 2017 is brought to you by D brand check them out at the link in the video description so they tricked 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 13 to in one so if you guys are looking at it going gee that looks an awful lot like the regular XPS 13 then that would be definitely intentional so still here are the Infinity bezels so the super slim bezels still 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 two-in-one hinge in it so you get your laptop mode you get to 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 watt processor in Della's 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 your 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 one terabyte SSD and in terms of i/o 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 microSD slot which is great for content creators since you can easily adapt a microSD up to a full size SD for your camera if you're into that sort of thing they include a CTA 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 1800 P personally I'd 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 because 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 thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe and a huge thanks to D brand for allowing us to be here at CES 2017 if you guys like your device you probably like the idea of throwing a D brand skin on it whether it's marble carbon fiber you know matte finish color you can use their configurator hell yeah you can even do this if you're me they don't actually carry this color anymore but you can use their configurator to see what your device will look like makes it look cool protects it from scotts and scratches they do support some of the XPS lineup so that's a pretty cool thing right there and for a limited time only they're offering $1 worldwide shipping so check that out if V brand comm slash Linus CES or CES Linus whatever the links down there
