I’m looking closely at the specs, watching the hands-on videos from CES 2015 and thinking, yes, perhaps this is ‘the one.’ The XPS 13 not only looks fabulous but it’s got specs, a great battery life and starts at just $799 with a Full HD ‘infinity’ display.

The new Dell XPS 13 with 5th-Gen Core (Broadwell) is undoubtedly a stunning looking device but if you take a closer look you’ll see the stars aligning for what could be the best Ultrabook ever. You’ve got no-touch options starting at $799 and, if you dare, a QHD+ (3200 x 1800) touch option with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and a Core i7 for just $1599. All models have AC WiFi, Sync and Charge USB, DisplayPort, backlit full-size keyboard and a precision touchpad which has already had good feedback from The Verge. (See videos below.) Even fully loaded the XPS 13 weighs just 1.26KG (2.8 lbs) and the best thing is that it’s got a 54Wh battery inside that’s going to power this Ultrabook for a hard day’s work. Trust me, I’ve had the same setup on a Haswell ultrabook and you really can leave the power adaptor at home.
