Dell XPS 14, 15 ultrabook specs leak

Specs for the upcoming Dell XPS 14 and 15 ultrabooks have been revealed by Chinese site IT168.
Alongside just a couple of pics, the specs are none too surprising, but do surpass most other high-end ultras.

The XPS 14 will run on an Ivy Bridge Core i7, 8GB RAM, have video powered by a NVIDIA GT 630M 1GB GPU and a 1600 x 900 LCD display.

Internal storage is a mixed 32GB SSD and a 500GB standard HDD. Battery life is claimed at 11 and a half hours.

Moving up, the XPS 15 also runs on an i7 Ivy Bridge and 8GB of RAM, along with a NVIDIA GT 640M 2GB and 1920x1080 display. Internal storage is a huge 256GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. The ultra also has a slot-loading optical disc drive. Battery life is unsurprisingly shorter and rated at 8 hours.



Both devices have backlit keyboards, HDMI, DisplayPort and USB 3.0 ports. The displays are protected by Gorilla Glass.

Pricing was not revealed but given the specs, the XPS 14 will likely retail for $1299 and the 15 will likely sell for $1599-$1699.
