Dell XPS 13 9360 is one of the best business companions you can get. It combines sleek design, power, functionality and extended battery life into one single device. It’s a versatile notebook that can be used for a variety of needs. Now the world’s smallest 13.3-inch laptop will become even faster and more versatile as it will be refreshed with Intel’s 8th generation processors.

It’s official, the XPS 13 will get a Kaby Lake-R refresh version. It will be available with either the Core i5-8250U or the Core i7-8550U. Dell claims that the XPS 13 will now be up to 44% more powerful compared to last year’s versions. It is not hard for us to believe that claim as we have tested the Core i7-8550U for ourselves and it is indeed extremely powerful for a chip with only 15W TDP.

You still get all the premium features of before such as a beautiful almost bezel-less 13.3-inch display with optional touch (protected by Corning Gorilla Glass NBT) and a resolution of up to QHD+ (3200×1800). You will also get up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of PCIe NVMe SSD. The USB Type-C port with Thunderbolt 3 support can even be used to attach an external GPU. The Core i7-8550U is powerful enough for gaming so this way you can even transform the XPS 13 into a highly portable gaming notebook.

Models equipped with an 8th gen Intel Core i7 CPU will start selling in the US from September the 12th at a starting price of $1399.99. Additional configuration will be available later in October.
