Microsoft Links 2001

Microsoft Links 2001

Announced earlier this year, Links 2001

is set to be the first graphics-based game. It will sport a full 3D engine, a 3D

scaling solution, and a new 3D GUI interface that will enable real-time 3D gaming.

Microsoft also introduced Links 2001 with two new main product drivers. The company says the new

conversion includes the following:

Compared to the competition, the XPS 13 is also less than expensive by the standards of its competitors. Its starting price is $1,099/£1,049/AU$1,499, making it much more affordable than most laptops. However, given its lack of a dedicated GPU, its battery life is a little disappointing.

Here is the XPS 13 configuration sent to TechRadar for review:

CPU: Intel Core i5-10210U (quad-core, 6MB cache, up to 4.7GHz)

Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics

RAM: 16GB DDR4 (3,200MHz)

Screen: 13.3-inch, 1,920 x 1,080 FHD (1,920 x 1,080) IPS touch display

Storage: 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD

Ports: 1 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB-C 3.1, HDMI, headphone/mic jack

Connectivity: Intel Wireless-AC 6165, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2

Camera: 720p HD webcam

Weight: 2.27 pounds (1.25kg)

Size: 11.06 x 8.06 x 0.61 inches ( 345 x 405 x 15.5mm; W x D x H)

The Inspiron 13 70002 starts at $899 / £749 (about AU$1,650) for the base model with a solid 10th generation i5 processor and a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD, along with a 16GB RAM and 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD.

Next up is the new Intel Core i7-1065G7, which starts at $799 / £749 (about AU$1,550) for the base model, but then starts at $799 / £749 (about AU$1,350) for the double-edged Core i7-1065G7.

In comparison, the entry-level 15-inch HP Spectre x360 starts at $1,349 / £1,149 (about AU$1,750) for the base model with a Core i5-1035G7, a 10th generation i7-1065G7, and a 128GB PCIe NVMe SSD. However, at $1,099 / £1,149 (about AU$1,550) for the base model, we’d still prefer the 512GB version, which is priced higher than the 512GB one, but again, this could cost a lot more than that.

While we’re definitely hopeful that this 1TB SSD will be cheaper than the 256GB Intel 10th-gen Intel model, it’s possible that HP could find an even cheaper way to keep costs down.
