The more Ultrabooks that got unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show, the more convinced I became that it’s irrational to discuss them as if they were a coherent new class of portable computer. No two manufacturers seem to agree on what an Ultrabook should be. That’s trim, since it means they’re experimenting. And last Tuesday, Dell introduced my favorite answer so far to the pump “What is an Ultrabook?” in the form of its new XPS 13 .
The company is an old hand at construction laptops that aim for a MacBook Air level of wafer-thin panache, having first tried its deal out at the idea back in 2009 with its first Adamo . But the XPS 13 looks way better than the rather odd Adamos — and it doesn’t look much like a MacBook Air at all.

When closed, the XPS is only a skosh larger than the 11.6-in. version of the MacBook Air, a implement which, while neat, has a display that’s decidedly on the dinky side. Open the XPS up, though, and you see that it’s got a much more spacious 13.3-in. sieve. Dell says that the display is “frameless” and “harshness-to-edge.” That’s pushing the facts of the matter a bit, but the border is thin, allowing for the incorporation of a surprisingly big protection in a highly portable form factor. It also uses Corning’s Gorilla Window-pane, which protects it from damage and helps to reduce flex.
