The Dell XPS laptop series continues to impress. Dell keeps innovating and learning what the customer wants, then puts out a laptop that can deliver. The XPS 13 2-in-1 laptop they debuted at CES 2017 is no different.

About the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 Laptop

“We made the product a little thinner, a little bit more mobile”, said Randall Heaton, Product manager for XPS notebooks at Dell. “We also changed our ports on the product a little bit”.

The XPS 13 inch 2-in-1 convertible has a 7th generation Intel Core i5 (upgrade to i7), Windows 10, 4GB RAM and 128 GB SSD drive (upgrade to 16 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD). The “edge to edge” 13 inch screen is touch enabled and comes with Windows 10.

USB-C Thunderbolt 3 Inside

This contains Thunderrbolt 3 technology from Intel. Find out more on Thunderbolt 3 HERE. 

The Dell XPS also has 2 USB-C ports – one of them Thunderbolt 3 enabled. You can tell by a lightning bolt next to the insert. Both USB-C ports allow for the machine to charge the 46 Whr battery. The XPS also contains a USB-A 3.1 adapter, micro SD card slot, headset jack, and Noble lock slot.

Check out more at Dell on the XPS 13 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop.

Last year Roli came out with a keyboard that disrupted the musical instrument. This year, Roli doesn’t disappoint with Roli Blocks, a modular pad system that allows you to create beats, play loops, or even solo on songs.

It’s an easy way to make music on your iOS device. Downloading the Roli App Noise is the first step in this system. The app is free and you can start working the pads right on the screen.

Adding the modular pads will bring more functionality, turning the iPhone or iPad into another screen for multi-touch use. You can also connect the pads up to your favorite software for more functionality. At CES Unveiled, they were playing saxophone solos right from the pads.

Roli Blocks main pad starts at $179, and additional blocks start at $79. You can get Blocks at your local Apple store.
