Dell
has now its XPS 13, Inspiron 5000, and Inspiron 7000 series laptops
with Intel's latest eighth generation Kaby Lake processors. The Dell XPS
13 laptop, which still features the impressive design of the original
and the the new Intel Core i7 chip, will be made available starting
September 12 at $1,399.99 (roughly Rs. 89,600) but the company says that
additional configurations will be made available from October.
Moving
on to the Inspiron 5000 series laptops, the 13-inch and 15-inch
variants of the 2-in-1 laptop will be receiving the new eighth
generation Intel Core processors. In the Inspiron 7000 series of
laptops, the standard variant and the Inspiron 7000 2-in-1will be
receiving the updated processors. Also, the 17-inch variant of the
Inspiron 7000 2-in-1 portable will get the new generation chips.
Separately,
Dell has now announced that its Visor mixed-reality headset, which has
been made specifically for Microsoft's Windows Mixed Reality platform,
will be made available from October at a price of $349.99 (roughly Rs.
22,400). Customers can also choose to buy a bundle with the headset and
two controllers for $449.99 (roughly Rs. 28,800). While the company has
described Visor as a mixed-reality headset, it has notably shown only
the VR capabilities of the wearable as of now, as pointed out in a
separate report by The Verge.
To recall, Microsoft started taking pre-orders for the mixed-reality headsets from Acer and HP in May this year. Engadget points out that just like the headsets from Acer and HP,
the wearable from the Dell will also come with 1440x1440 LCD panels and
feature sufficient padding that would allow users to wear it
comfortably for longer periods as well.
"Dell Visor takes advantage of the same technology used in the Microsoft HoloLens,
including inside-out tracking cameras, with a 360 degree panoramic
view. The headset itself is able to scan surroundings instead of
satellite emitters positioned inside the room," the company said in its
release. The Dell Visor will be made available at Microsoft and select
Best Buy stores and BestBuy.com in the coming months.
