Overview of the XPS 13 Plus
The XPS 13 Plus is equipped with a more powerful CPU than the conventional XPS 13, and has a more minimal appearance with a focus on the so-called "Z generation". I am assuming. The top row of keyboard keys are touch sensitive, and the glass touchpad is completely integrated with the palm rest. Among the 12th generation Core processors (development code name: Alder Lake), the CPU uses the "P processor" with a standard power consumption of 28W. In the customized (CTO) model, the following CPUs can be selected.・Core i5-1240P (4 P cores + 8 E cores, 12MB L3 cache) ・Core i7-1260P (4 P cores + 8 E cores, 18MB L3 cache) ・Core i7-1270P (4 P cores + E cores) 8, 18MB L3 cache)・Core i7-1280P (6 P cores + 8 E cores, 24MB L3 cache) The main memory is LPDDR5 standard, and the CTO model has a capacity of 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB (all dual channel configuration). The storage is SSD, and the following specifications can be selected for the CTO model.・256GB/PCI Express 3.0 connection ・512GB/PCI Express 4.0 connection ・1TB/PCI Express 4.0 connection ・2TB/PCI Express 4.0 connection The display is a 13.4-inch display with an aspect ratio of 16:10, and the following configurations can be selected.

Wireless communication supports Wi-Fi 6E (* 1) and Bluetooth 5.2. The battery capacity is 55Wh. The body size is approximately 295.3 (width) x 199.04 (depth) x 15.28 (thickness) mm, and the weight of the lightest configuration is 1.24 kg. (*1) IEEE 802.11ax standard wireless LAN that uses the 6 GHz band. However, in many countries/regions including Japan, it cannot be used due to legal restrictions (Wi-Fi 6 in the 2.4GHz band/5GHz band is available)
