Dell launched some serious notebooks when it came out with the XPS line, and now the company continues to improve on already solid products. The Dell XPS 13 and XPS 15 are getting a refresh, updating their processors and packing more storage into their thin frames. In addition, Dell announced the much-rumored XPS 12, a 2-in-1 which seems to be the first of what will likely be many Surface Pro 4 competitors.

If you were a fan of the XPS line's sleek design, you'll be happy to know that Dell didn't mess with it. Both the XPS 13 and 15 remain super thin and very light notebooks made of carbon fiber and aluminum, featuring InfinityEdge displays which reduce the bezel around the touchscreens to nearly invisible sidebars. The XSP 15 actually slimmed down even further, now being closer in size to a 14-inch notebook.

At 4 pounds and between 11 and 17mm thick, Dell claims it has the smallest footprint of any 15-inch notebook. However, svelte doesn't come without compromise: both the XPS 13 and XPS 15 still have their webcams placed at the bottom of the display, a decision that baffled us when Ars reviewed the XPS 13.
