XPS 13, 15

The first is an improved webcam, which now employs a four-element lens construction for increased picture sharpness. In addition, the webcam is now a much smaller unit (2.25 millimetres).
Dell says its improved InfinityEdge display technology allows for even slimmer bezels on all four sides of the display. The laptop is available in a rose gold colour along with the signature carbon fiber black. Powered by Intel's 10th Gen Core series CPUs, the new Dell XPS 13 (7390) will be available in the market from October 2 at a starting price of Rs 1,13,990.
