It is rather slim! The XPS 13 Ultrabook is a slim 6 mm at its thinnest point (only 18 mm at its thickest point), and features a 13.3″ (33.782 cm) HD display cleverly fit into a footprint that’s similar to an 11″ laptop.

There is a feature called FastAccess which is a facial recognition tool that allows the webcam to be used to log you in rather than using the keyboard, You have to configure it but I found it worked quite well, although I personally prefer to use a password.
