On the PC front, there have been several news at the show . Common to most is that they come with the new Broadwell processors from Intel, which is more power-efficient and makes fewer demands on cooling. It enables PCs can be made even slightly thinner and lighter than before.
Buying Guide: How to choose the PC
Instead of listing them up all together, we have chosen to pull out five products we seem shines a little extra.
Dell XPS 13
First is Dell, which has launched what it claims is the world’s smallest 13.3-inch PC. 13-inch has become the most common size in the slightly more upmarket ultrabook segment, although the screen is not completely borderless, measuring edges around the screen only 5.2 mm, which makes it almost feels edgeless when you use it. The weight is also very low – only 1.18 kg (1.27 kg with a touch screen).
Well so startling is that the XPS 13 will offer up to 15 hours of battery life before it must be connected to the mains again ( applies Core i5 version with full HD screen).
PC comes in several configurations – from Core i3 to Core i7 (Broadwell) and can also be configured with a monitor with 3200×1800 resolution. The machine is expected for sale in Norway on January 20 and the price starts at 12,490 for the cheapest version (Core i3, 4GB RAM).
