Technical specs of Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition (9380)
The major differences between last year's 9370 and the latest 9380 model of Dell's XPS 13 Developer Edition laptop, besides the upgraded hardware, are the new placement of the webcam on top instead of the bottom of the screen and native suspend-to-idle support, which makes resumes from sleep snappier.
Under the hood, the new Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition laptop is powered by Intel's 8th generation i3, i5 and i7 processors (Intel Whiskey Lake U, 15W, non-vPro) and up to 16GB LPDDR3 2133MHz RAM. It also comes with a 13.3-inch InfinityEdge display with support for FHD and UHD resolutions, and features up to 2TB storage.
The new Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition laptop comes with the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) operating system preloaded. Users can purchase the Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition (9380) model, which is highly configurable, in the US, Canada, and select countries in Europe from Dell's online store at the starting price of $739.99.
