and wow, it's different.

和哇，它是不同的。

(gentle jazzy music begins)

(輕柔的爵士音樂開始)

I've always thought the XPS 13

我一直認為XPS 13

was one of the best designed laptops on the market.

是市場上設計最好的筆記本電腦之一。

But I guess Dell disagreed

但我想戴爾不同意

because they made a ton of changes.

因為他們做了大量的改變。

The Dell XPS 13 Plus is unlike any Windows laptop

戴爾XPS 13 Plus與任何Windows筆記本電腦都不同

I've ever seen on the market.

我在市場上見過的。

(jazzy music continues)

(爵士音樂繼續)

So from the outside, this looks like a regular XPS 13,

是以，從外面看，這看起來像一個普通的XPS 13。

it's still just over half an inch thick.

它仍然只有半英寸多厚。

It's got a similar lid, a similar finish,

它有一個類似的蓋子，一個類似的表面。

than the last year's XPS 13.

比去年的XPS 13還要好。

You've got the same 16 by 10 aspect ratio,

你有相同的16乘10的長寬比。

the same webcam that supports Windows Hello,

同一個支持Windows Hello的網絡攝像頭。

and the same aluminum build.

和相同的鋁製建築。

But open this thing up and things get exciting.

但打開這個東西，事情就變得令人興奮了。

So the first thing you'll probably notice

是以，你可能會注意到的第一件事是

is that Dell's gotten rid

是，戴爾已經擺脫了

of the function row on the keyboard.

的功能行在鍵盤上。

So there's now a thing called,

所以現在有一個東西叫。

a capacitive touch function row.

一個電容式觸摸功能行。

Basically, it's replaced the physical function keys

基本上，它已經取代了物理功能鍵

with like digital keys that you just tap,

有了像數字鍵一樣的東西，你只需點擊一下。

and those adjust things like brightness, volume,

和那些調整諸如亮度、音量的東西。

and that sort of stuff.

以及諸如此類的東西。

Now I tried to call this a touch bar and Dell got mad at me.

現在我想把這個叫做觸摸條，戴爾對我很生氣。

So just to be clear, this is not a touch bar, you guys,

所以我想說的是，這不是一個觸摸欄，你們。

capacitive function row, not a touch bar.

電容式功能行，而不是觸摸條。

Now you may also notice

現在你可能還注意到

that there's not like a track pad on this device.

這個設備上沒有像跟蹤墊那樣的東西。

That's because the track pad is actually haptic.

這是因為軌道墊實際上是有觸覺的。

So it's similar to MacBook track pads,

所以它類似於MacBook的軌道墊。

where instead of actually clicking when you depress it,

在哪裡，而不是在你按下它時實際點擊。

it just pretends to click.

它只是假裝點擊。

These sorts of touch pads are starting to pop up

這類觸摸板開始出現了

as devices get thinner,

隨著設備變得更薄。

and they certainly offer more customizability,

而且他們肯定提供了更多的可定製性。

but they also feel different.

但他們的感覺也不同。

And since it all looks the same,

既然看起來都是一樣的。

there may be a learning curve

可能有一個學習曲線

to figuring out where the touch pad ends

要弄清楚觸摸板的終點在哪裡

and the palm rest begins.

並開始掌上休息。

So my advice,

所以我的建議是。

if you're gonna buy a Dell XPS 13 Plus,

如果你要買戴爾XPS 13 Plus。

is to try one of these touch pads first,

是先試試這些觸摸板中的一個。

because, while it doesn't necessarily feel worse,

因為，雖然它不一定感覺更糟糕。

it does feel different.

它確實感覺不同。

The keyboard is also depressed now,

鍵盤現在也被壓住了。

which gave me instant butterfly flashbacks,

這讓我瞬間想起了蝴蝶。

but Dell says it actually has the same amount of travel

但戴爾說它實際上有相同的行程量

as the last XPS 13 keyboard did.

就像上一個XPS 13的鍵盤一樣。

So this new design allows for key caps to be larger,

是以，這種新的設計允許鍵帽變大。

and gives the whole thing a smoother and sleeker look.

並使整個事情看起來更加平滑和圓滑。

So like the touch pad,

所以喜歡觸摸板。

this keyboard is something I can see myself getting used to,

這個鍵盤是我可以看到自己習慣的東西。

but it does feel different.

但它確實感覺不同。

There are also two upward firing speakers

還有兩個向上發射的揚聲器

hidden under the keyboard,

隱藏在鍵盤下面。

which Dell says will make the audio sound better.

戴爾說這將使音頻聽起來更好。

So, cool, I'm all for that.

所以，很酷，我很贊成。

(jazzy music continues)

(爵士音樂繼續)

One other thing to note is

還有一件事要注意的是

there is going to be an OLED display option.

將會有一個OLED顯示屏選項。

Now the non OLED option on the unit that we saw

現在，我們看到的是該裝置上的非OLED選項

already looked pretty good,

已經看起來很不錯了。

but the OLED panel will add an extra amount of contrast.

但OLED面板將增加額外的對比度。

However, if you choose to go the OLED route,

然而，如果你選擇走OLED路線。

it will probably add a couple hundred dollars to the price.

它可能會在價格上增加幾百美元。

And as we saw with the last XPS 13 OLED,

而正如我們在上一個XPS 13 OLED上看到的那樣。

it could impact battery life.

它可能會影響電池壽命。

And battery life is one thing

而電池壽命是一件事

that I'm a little nervous about.

這讓我有點緊張。

But Dell says that this is the first XPS 13

但戴爾表示，這是第一個XPS 13

designed to a 28 Watts spec.

按照28瓦特的規格設計。

Now that could mean a bunch of different things,

現在這可能意味著一堆不同的事情。

but it should in theory,

但在理論上應該如此。

make this the most powerful XPS 13 ever.

使其成為有史以來最強大的XPS 13。

Higher wattage chips are also generally less efficient,

較高瓦數的芯片一般來說效率也較低。

meaning they're working the laptop harder.

這意味著他們在更努力地使用筆記本電腦。

So the laptop doesn't last as long.

是以，筆記本電腦的壽命沒有那麼長。

And this year's Dell XPS 13 Plus

而今年的戴爾XPS 13 Plus

is using an Intel processor.

正在使用英特爾處理器。

And last year's Intel processors

而去年的英特爾處理器

didn't have like fantastic battery life results,

沒有像夢幻般的電池壽命結果。

but, you know, new generation, you never know.

但是，你知道，新的一代，你永遠不知道。

(jazzy music continues)

(爵士音樂繼續)

So that's the Dell XPS 13 Plus.

是以，這就是戴爾XPS 13 Plus。

It should be shipping in spring of 2022.

它應該在2022年春季發貨。

And you can get it with Windows 11 or Ubuntu.

而且你可以用Windows 11或Ubuntu獲得它。

We can expect the base model to cost 1,199.

我們可以預計基本型號的價格為1199。

So I won't lie and say, I'm not a little bit nervous.

所以我不會撒謊說，我沒有一點兒緊張。

The last XPS 13 was really good,

上一個XPS 13真的很好。

and making all these changes feels a bit like tinkering

做出所有這些改變感覺有點像修修補補。

with something that wasn't really broken.

用一些並沒有真正損壞的東西。

And we've seen that lead to disaster

而我們已經看到這導致了災難

when companies do that in the past,

當公司在過去這樣做的時候。

not naming names, (clears throat) Apple.

不指名道姓，（清嗓子）蘋果。

But as customers ask for laptops

但隨著客戶對筆記本電腦的要求

to be thinner and look sleeker,

要更薄，看起來更圓滑。

this sort of design may well be where the market is headed.

這種設計很可能是市場的方向。

And this may be a glimpse into the future

而這可能是對未來的一瞥

of ultra portable laptops.

的超便攜筆記本電腦。

It's definitely going to be a different future,

這肯定會是一個不同的未來。

but it maybe one that I can get used to.

但這也許是一個我可以習慣的。

So it's CES 2022, kind of,

所以這是2022年的CES，有點像。

and Dell is releasing all kinds of other laptops,

including gaming stuff from Alienware.
