It still features that same lightweight, durable, flawless finish, but with a larger 4-sided InfinityEdge display with a 91.5% screen-to-body ratio. Dell promises up to 19 hours of battery life with this laptop. It's starting price is at US$999 (around CA$1,336).

The XPS 13 Developer Edition is the company's first laptop to come pre-loaded with Ubuntu 20.04LTS and represents the 11th-generation of Project Sputnik's developer-targeted XPS 13. Dell has partnered with Canonical since 2012 to give developers Ubuntu systems that offer them usability, performance, and stability. It has the new 4-sided InfinityEdge display and promises up to 18 hours and 49 minutes of battery life. It's available with up to 32GB of RAM and supports a fingerprint reader. Dell hasn't released information on its pricing yet.

And it comes with the company's smallest camera at 2.25mm, which now has infrared with Windows Hello support. It's starting price is at US1,249 (around CA$1,670)
