The Dell XPS 13 boasts an 'infinity' display that it from one edge to the next. Although Dell has made a name for itself by using small bezels, this design takes it to the next level. The Dell XPS 13 also comes with an optional 3200 x 1800 high-resolution touchscreen display, which is a vast improvement on the predecessor's 1366 x 768 resolution. Slim and light, the laptop is made predominantly out of aluminum and carbon fiber. Touted as the "smallest 13-inch laptop on the planet," this claim is due mainly to its 13.3-inch borderless display squeezed into an 11-inch laptop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Infinity Displays:** The trend of infinity display laptops is disrupting the laptop industry by pushing manufacturers to make designs with almost zero bezels. - **High-resolution Touchscreens:** The trend of high-resolution touchscreen displays is creating new opportunities for improved user experience in laptops and other devices. - **Lightweight Designs:** The trend of making lightweight laptops with premium materials like aluminum and carbon fiber is creating disruption in the laptop industry by giving consumers more options. ### Where This Applies - **Computer Hardware:** The computer hardware industry is being disrupted by the trend of infinity display laptops that is pushing manufacturers to create designs that are more visually appealing and user-friendly. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry is experiencing disruption due to the trend of high-resolution touchscreen displays that are making devices more intuitive and engaging for users. - **Materials Science:** The materials science industry is being disrupted by the trend of making laptops with lightweight and durable materials like aluminum and carbon fiber, which creates new opportunities for innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refreshed Professional Laptop Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dell-xps-2024.md) - [Restructured Laptop Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dell-xps.md) - [Ultra-Thin Productivity Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xps-9345.md) - [13-Inch Reversible Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectre-x360-13-5.md) - [Size-Expanding Laptop Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compal-electronics-infinite-laptop.md) - [Dual-Screen Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenbook-duo.md) - [Lightweight Ultra-Slim Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraslim-laptop.md) - [Upgraded Dual-Screen Lightweight Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenbook-duo-2026.md) - [Ultraportable Green OLED Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-13-oled-ux5304.md)
