Dell revealed XPS 13 refresh’s product overview video on Youtube

[snowComet]

After many leaks from retailers (http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/437875-latest-leaks-showed-dell-xps-13-and-asus-ux303-with-intel-skylake-cpu-and-possibly-thunderbolt-3-on-the-xps-13/), Dell finally revealed the XPS 13 refreshes. It is pretty much the same spec that leaked earlier, Skylake processor, Thunderbolt 3, USB Type-C port, and others. What's surprising is that it can have up to 16GB of ram, and 1TB of ssd (still not known if it is PCI-E based or SATA-based).

I can't find any news about the reveal of this refresh other than those earlier leaks, thus no official info on pricing and availability.

Linus complained, and they listened.

I know thunderbolt is faster but what are you going to use it for? I think usb 3.0 is just more useful overall.

Damn, hopefully it's cheaper than the surface book.

 

@AresKrieger 4k monitor(s), external storage or even a hub with usb 3.0/1.

Don't forget Thunderbolt 3 can works as a USB Type-C port, and I do think it is more useful than USB 3.0 ports

That's nice, a seamless glass screen was really needed. Looks like the top bezel was made thicker though, maybe they put the camera back at the top?

Anyway, I already bought the 2015 one lol

Not sure what I would use a type c port for honestly, type A is the only one I use (and micro on my phone that I don't care about) as I don't have a printer anymore, the only thing I've seen with type c are apple chargers, I know they have good power delivery but the faster you charge your battery the faster it degrades.

Well 4k monitors using it gives a undisputable purpose, (not one I care about but at least its useful), as for the storage I can't find a usb drive that even tops out usb 3.0 transfer rate so I'd say thunderbolt 3 storage isn't worth my time right now, as for the hub meh.

Professionals have thunderbolt NAS's as they can daisy chain multiple from a single connection, also i forgot to mention external gpu's. Im not saying there is a mind blowing amount of use's and it's a necessity to have TB3 but this is a premium laptop should have a premium feature like TB3.

TBH I'm a bit disappointed that neither Surface Pro 4 nor the Surface Book featured Thunderbolt 3/USB Type-C port....
