A look at the new model of the Dell XPS 13

The technology running at a good pace today and it is sometimes hard to keep up. The Dell XPS 13 is a laptop that takes about a year on the market, but has recently been updated and brings several new and interesting things to share, including, obviously, a new operating system. The guys from Dell decided to change some things, but for some reason the name left intact. Let's see what this brings small.
For starters, one of the most noticeable changes is the screen, which now offers full HD resolution, whereas previously only had a HD + 1366 × 768 pixels. In addition, the brightness has been improved, reaching up to 350 nits. Overall, the screen is much better than the model launched last year. The measure remains the same: 13 inches.
Inside, the Dell XPS 13 carries Ivy Bridge processor, specifically an Intel Core i5-3337U 1.8GHz dual-core that can reach 2.7GHz using Turbo Boost. Notably, it has 3MB of cache and Hyper-Threading features. If you have a little more money, you can opt for an Intel Core i7-3537U, also a dual-core but runs at 2.0GHz and has 4MB of cache. Both processors are good, although obviously the i7 is the winner.
Regarding the RAM has been doubled and now the team has 8GB instead of 4GB original, and finally, the other big change is that the new model runs with Windows 8 instead of Windows 7.
As regards the storage and graphics card, has a 256GB SSD and Intel HD Graphics uses a 4000.
