Mumbai, India, February 6, 2018 – When the late Steve Jobs pulled out an ultra-thin Macbook Air from a manila envelope, on stage in 2008 (exactly ten years ago), audiences gasped in disbelief. Apple defied the laws of physics and packed so much into a device that was a few millimeters thick, or should we say thin. Since then, other PC companies came out with their slim and light ultrabooks – HP (Spectre), Lenovo (Yoga), Dell (XPS/Inspiron), Acer (Spin) and even Microsoft (Surface). Exactly a month ago (January), Dell showed off its latest XPS 13 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas – and it evoked a similar response as the first MacBook Air. In fact, the latest Dell XPS 13 has been named CES 2018 Innovation Award Honouree. Dell products won 87 CES awards. Well, the good news is that Dell just launched the XPS 13 (and other models) in India. It is being positioned as the smallest 13-inch laptop in the world. We can see a lot of innovation packed into this device (we’ll come to the tech specs in a moment), a revolutionary thermal dissipation technology, new colours, and new materials used in the casing. The device is positioned at high networth individuals, corporate executives, the mobile workforce and those latching on to a digital lifestyle.
Commenting on the launch in India, Ray Wah, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Consumer and Small Business Product Group, Dell said, “The XPS brand is legendary; it leads our ultrabook portfolio. From innovations in design philosophy using smarter materials to performance-driven sleek design construction, the new XPS 13 is an absolute delight! This machine is tailored for savouring an ultimate entertainment experience.”
Dell identifies an opportunity for thinner, lighter and more powerful mobile devices that both enthusiasts and professionals demand. Thriving on the philosophy of design-centric premium PCs, Dell’s complete thin and light portfolio is the consequence of leveraging this insight; and the XPS 13 will create a market opportunity appealing to the tech savvy, style conscious consumers, who do not want to compromise on performance.
P. Krishnakumar, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Consumer & Small Business, Dell India.

With the discerning demographic of entrepreneurs, CXO’s, mobile workforce and next-generation Indians, we see an exponential growth opportunity for our premium, thin & light portfolio. Our new range will redefine personal computing and give people experiences they want – and some they’ve never dreamt possible”, said P. Krishnakumar, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Consumer & Small Business, Dell India.
