Dell is launching a series of new Inspiron- and XPS-branded laptops and tablet-laptop hybrids that use Intel’s latest 8th Generation Core processors. That means they’re going to be speedier for people who want to watch videos, multitask, and have all-day battery life.
The new models include four different laptops that are targeted at specific parts of the market and feature Intel processors that are 44 percent faster than previous-generation chips. Dell is showing the laptops at the upcoming IFA event in Berlin.
I got a good look at the laptops, which are targeted at consumers and businesses during the upcoming holiday season, at a Dell preview event in San Francisco. The laptops include the Inspiron 7000 series, with 13-inch, 15-inch, and 17-inch screens.

They have a narrow border FHD IPS touch display that supports active pens for digital drawing, writing, and note-taking. The 15-inch model includes an optional 4K UltraHD IPS touch display. The screens are optimized for watching movies and video chat.
