Dell has announced a refresh of its 2015 model XPS 13 Ultrabook that keeps everything we already love about it, and peps it up with some beefier spec options that will see it into 2016.

The XPS 13 launched initially back in January at CES where the near bezel-less Infinity Display took our breath away. Visually, this latest model remains the same, so the Infinity Display remains as does the 13-inch size in an 11-inch form factor. The big changes are inside.

RAM and internal storage options have increased for this latest model, with 4, 8 and 16GB of RAM now available as well as up to 1TB of PCIe SSD storage. The external ports are about the same with two full sized USB 3.0, a 3.5mm headset jack and full sized SD card slot, this time around joined by a Thunderbolt 3/USB-C port.

Construction is still the aluminum/Carbon Fiber harmony we already know and the precision trackpad also makes a return. It's essentially the same exact machine but given a bump with 2016 ready specs. And that's just fine with us.

The latest XPS 13 will be available in the U.S. from October 8 at Dell.com with prices starting at $799.
