With the CES 2017 just round the corner, Dell has unveiled its new XPS 13 convertible, along with a 27-inch ultrathin monitor.

Let's start with the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1, this Windows 10 based convertible is said to be the first 2-in-1 from Dell to sport an InfinityEdge display. The company says, it fits a 13.3-inch display in the frame of an 11-inch laptop - making it the "smallest 13-inch 2-in-1 on the planet".

The convertible laptop's touchscreen display rotates 360-degrees, allowing users to also use it as a tablet. The other major highlight of the hybrid is its battery life, which according to the company will last up to 15 hours on the full-HD display variant - or 9 hours when streaming Netflix content.

The new Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 sports an aluminium body, a carbon fibre palm rest, and bears Corning Gorilla Glass NBT on the display. The hybrid is also compatible with the optional Dell Active Pen stylus. It sports two Waves MaxxAudio Pro tuned speakers, apart from an infrared webcam and a fingerprint reader.

Specifications of the new Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 include a seventh generation Intel Core i5-7Y54 processor (up to 3.2GHz) or an Intel Core i7-7Y75 processor (up to 3.6GHz) - both of which sport an Intel HD Graphics 615 built-in. It comes with 4GB of 1866MHz LPDDR3 RAM, along with options of 8GB or 16GB configurations. The base model ships with a 128GB SATA SSD, though 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB PCIe SSD options are also available. As for ports, it sports a Thunderbolt 3 port, a DisplayPort, USB Type-C 3.1, microSD card reader, and a headset jack. Bluetooth v4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Miracast, and Intel Smart Connect technology complete the connectivity options.

And for the ultrathin monitor, it sports a 27-inch QHD (2560x1440 pixels) display with a 60Hz refresh rate. The company is touting a 178-degree viewing angle, and a 99 percent sRGB colour gamut. It offers a brightness of 400 nits, and sports a USB Type-C port for power delivery, apart from an HDMI 2.0 port, and an audio line-out. Users can opt for an HDR-ready version as well.
