Dell Australia Now Has Local Pricing, Availability For The XPS 13 2-In-1

We had a close look at Dell’s new “2-in-1” 13-inch XPS notebook a few days ago. It’s mostly the same as Dell’s standard XPS 13, with the biggest difference being its ability to become a tablet. Previously, only US pricing was available, but now the product is up on Dell’s Australian site and well, the mark-up isn’t pretty.

Going from Dell’s site, the basic 1080p unit isn’t available, with the three options on offer packing the 3200 x 1800 QHD+ screen. The cheapest device, which comes with the Core i5-7Y54, is $2299 — a far sight more expensive than the $US1199 ($1644) from CES.

Moving up, the usual suspects — CPU, RAM and SSD — are upgraded. Here’s a table with the details:

XPS 13 2-In-1 – $2299 XPS 13 2-In-1 – $2599 XPS 13 2-In-1 – $2798
8GB LPDDR3 1866MHz 8GB LPDDR3 1866MHz 16GB LPDDR3 1866MHz
256GB PCIe SSD 512GB PCIe SSD 512GB PCIe SSD
Core i5-7Y54 (4M cache, up to 3.2 GHz) Core i7-7Y75 (4M cache, up to 3.6 GHz) Core i7-7Y75 (4M cache, up to 3.6 GHz)

Whether or not the convertibility is enough to justify the price tag is up to you. Compared to the standard XPS 13, you’ll be paying around $300-$400 for the privilege (and the QHD+ screen).
