Dell XPS 13 is a MacBook for the PC crowd

The sleek, Apple-inspired looks of the new Dell XPS 13 disguise its beefy PC interior. In addition to a stylish design, the XPS 13 packs a powerful processor and plenty of memory and storage, which allows it to display all of your work and media needs on its crisp “infinity” display. Dell calls its display “infinity” because the screen extends to the very edge of the laptop’s border, which the company says allows it to fit a 13-inch screen on what should be an 11-inch laptop. Higher-end models also feature touch-enabled displays.

The Samsung Portable SSD T1 offers speedy storage

While Samsung’s Portable SSD T1 sports quick data transfer and tons of storage space, the most impressive aspect of the portable hard drive is its size. Beyond its 1 TB (1,000 GB) storage capacity and a 450 MB/sec transfer speed via USB 3.0, the T1 comes in an incredibly small package. In fact, it is truly pocket-sized — it’s slightly smaller than an iPhone 5. This allows you to carry a large amount of data without having to worry about lengthy transfer times.

For more information, visit samsung.com. It’s $599.99 for 1 TB but also available in 500GB and 250GB models.
