Dell set to unveil a 2-in-1 version of the XPS 13

Dell is updating its XPS 13 laptop to compete with the likes of Lenovo Yoga series or HP’s Spectre x360. Named the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1, you can see the new laptop finally catches up to what its rivals are doing: foldable display for presentations. We can expect the latest specs for this device but not much is available at the moment. CES is just a few days away so we’re thinking we’ll get to see more about the device there.
