TechRadar reports that they were shown an early preview of the upcoming XPS 13 while on a tour of Dell's Round Rock, Texas headquarters. We are pretty stoked to see new color variants, Alpine White and Rose Gold, lending a bit of oomph to the InfinityEdge display equipped notebook. The new XPS 13 seems to be inspired by the XPS 13 2-in-1, not by having a 360-degree hinge, but by the conspicuous absence of full size USB 3.0 ports. Instead, we get 3 USB Type-C ports and one of those in all likelihood will be Thunderbolt 3 enabled. We just hope that Dell doesn't gimp the Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth in 2018 but we're taming our hopes on this. The SD card reader has also been swapped out for a microSD card slot. From what we see, Dell seems to have not learnt the lesson of placing the webcam where it belongs. There is a black strip seen below the Dell logo, which could house the nosecam err, webcam and the IR camera for Windows Hello. Competing notebooks such as the HP Spectre 13 have near bezel-less displays with proper webcam positioning so Dell is still out of touch with reality in this aspect.
