It’s still one day left for the IFA 2018, but, we see that Dell could not wait much and has announced the new series of its Inspiron and Vostro laptops. Dell, on Thursday, made the announcement of the launch of a large range of 2-in-1 laptops. The range includes the Inspiron 7000, Inspiron 5000, XPS 13 Chromebook, Vostro 14 and 15 5000 laptops. Dell had recently launched its XPS 13 models that are on the higher price side. And, these new laptops have also got some premium features from the XPS 13 series in them. So you can get the XPS 13 features at a lower price.

The Inspiron 7000 laptops are in three different screen sizes i.e., 13-inch, 15-inch and 17-inch, with full HD 4K resolution. All these new laptops are upgraded with the Intel’s latest Whiskey Lake 8th-Gen processors. The 15-inch and the 17-inch 7000 laptops are also going to have the Nvidia GeForce MX150 graphics card and Intel Optane Memory. The laptops are also upgraded with the ram up to 16GB. Now, another interesting feature that has been added to that new 7000 laptops is that the support of the Amazon Alexa Assistant.

The Dell Inspiron 5000 2-in-1 laptop has similar features to the 7000 series. But the screen size is 14 inches and it has variants in i5 and i7 8th generation processor with an optional support for Nvidia GeForce MX130 discrete graphics. Also, the Inspiron Chromebook with similar features supports the RAM size ranging from 4GB to 128 GB, powered with 8th-Gen Intel Core i3 processor.

All the 2-in-1 laptops are now available in the aluminium exteriors with slimmer bezels. The sleek screen has also reduced the size of the webcam up to 2.7mm that is located on the top of the screen. The USB-C port is also available in all the three laptops that is useful for both Power Delivery and DisplayPort.

The laptops are supposed to be cheaper than the XPS 13 series, but yet with those features, you can’t have them at that lowered price. The Inspiron 7000 lineup costs $879.99 (around Rs 62,000) for the basic 13-inch laptop and the basic model of Inspiron 5000 costs $599.99 (around Rs 42,300). The price of the Dell Chromebook is not clear yet, but all the laptops will be available from the mid of October this year.
