Dell has announced the launch of its premium consumer laptops – XPS 13 and XPS 15 – in India.
The highlight of the XPS portfolio has been the company’s virtually borderless InfinityEdge display. The new XPS range comes with an even smaller and thinner profile with the predecessor.
Both XPS 13 and 15 also come with the Eyesafe display technology that reduces harmful blue light and maintains vivid color. Dell claims that this is the first panel that intelligently manages light energy at the source and selectively reduces harmful blue light.
