Now that the webcam doesn't put the inside of your nose center stage, some customers will reconsider the XPS 13, because they can use it for both personal and professional ends.The biggest drawbacks to the XPS 13 are common among Ultrabooks available today: limited USB-A ports (or in this case, none) and noisy fans. Not only does it complement the predictable performance and battery-life updates, but it corrects arguably the biggest problem that previous XPS 13 models had. I predict there will be many of these customers, and many who finally pick up the XPS 13 may do so thanks to its new webcam placement. The gains may be modest, but they may be enough to convince hold-outs to take the plunge this year.

Users will be most appreciative of the performance and battery life boost in this year's model.
