At CES this year, Dell
unveiled its first XPS 15 2-in-1. Previously, the PC was only available as a clamshell laptop, packing a powerful H-series CPU and dedicated Nvidia GTX graphics. But also at CES, Intel
launched its eighth-generation G-series processors, which offer an H-series CPU and a dedicated AMD Radeon GPU on the die.
The codename for the chip is Kaby Lake G, so it's pretty much the same CPU architecture as the seventh-gen H-series, but with the added GPU. This means that more powerful hardware can fit into a slimmer form factor, like a convertible. Dell was among the first to announce a PC including a Kaby Lake G chip, as was
HP with its new Spectre 15 x360.
It also includes all of the bells and whistles that we've come to expect from the XPS 15, such as an InfinityEdge 15.6-inch 4K display with Dell Cinema, which means that the webcam is still placed beneath it. One thing that's new though is that there's now an IR camera, so it finally supports facial recognition for Windows Hello.
