The Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 (9575) laptop is now available to the South African channel from official distributor, Drive Control Corporation (DCC).
The ultra-thin (16mm) 15-inch 2-in-1 laptop features Dell’s InfinityEdge 4K Display combined powerhouse features such as 8th Gen Intel Quad Core processors with custom Radeon RX Vega M discrete graphics plus 4GB of dedicated high-bandwidth memory.
“The Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 has walked away with numerous industry and reviewer awards, and with good reason,” says Heinrich Pretorius, Dell EMC consumer product specialist at DCC. “It undoubtedly represents the next evolution in PC usage, combining excellent functionality and usage in a powerful 2-in-1 package – an important game changer in a very competitive marketplace.”
The 2-in-1 incorporates Dell Power Manager which allows users to customise their laptop acoustics, temperature and performance based on their preferences. It also dynamically delivers the maximum power from the laptop’s while monitoring and managing system temperatures.
Another feature of the Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 is its MagLev keyboard design which reduces the thickness of the keyboard by 24 percent without compromising the typing experience.
First to introduce this design to a laptop, the XPS 15 2-in-1 keyboard uses magnets in this new design, allowing for a thinner form factor and more reliable keyboard experience.
Dell has also taken cooling to the next innovative level, the 2-in-1 is built with ultra-thin GORE Thermal Insulation which provides thermal conductivity levels lower than air in a thin, flexible format – this keeps the system cool when handling heavy workloads.
Also, dual large aspect ratio liquid crystal polymer fans maximise airflow, while three composite heat pipes are utilised to quickly cool the CPU under intense workloads.
The 2-in-1’s synthetic graphite heat spreaders also distributes heat across the device while GORE Thermal Insulation helps to insulate that heat from the end user.
With a built-in gyroscope and accelerometer, the Dell XPS 15 2-in1 can differentiate between lap and table positioning, adjusting the system’s performance and the temperature accordingly.
