There are still older 7th-generation options available for people who want something within a tighter budget. You also have the option of getting a dedicated GTX 1070 graphics card, though the base models will have to make do with Intel HD Graphics 620.


Smallest 13-inch Laptop in The World

Design-wise, Dell calls it the smallest 13-inch laptop in the world, thanks to its small bezels. That’s not all, as Dell has still fitted a QHD+ (3200 x 1800) display on the front, still supporting battery life of up to 13 hours when on Netflix.

Connectivity-wise, you get a 40 GBps Thunderbolt 3 port with 2, 10 GBps USB 3.1 ports. There’s also Killer Wi-Fi ac, SD card reader, and a fingerprint scanner.

With all this, the price starts at $800. Dell is also outing a few accessories including keyboard, mice, dock and a 12,000 mAh battery case.


Inspiron Convertibles

Dell has also announced a series of new laptops, the most-interesting among which is its first 17-inch 2-in-1, the Inspiron 7000. This laptop comes with an FHD IPS touchscreen display, Intel’s 7th generation processors, and USB-C for connectivity.

The convertible starts at $950, though, the market for 17-inch convertibles is pretty empty as of now. It is followed by other Inspiron 3000 and 5000 models, both of which come in 13 and 15-inch versions.

They start at $850 and $750, respectively.
