Background Identification

The Dell XPS 13 9365 2-in-1 is a convertible laptop released to the public in early 2017. It is similar to the previous model of the XPS 13 laptop released the previous year, with the addition of a flexible hinge that allows it to convert into tablet mode, a Hello Windows-compatible fingerprint reader, and facial recognition software to login.

It is a small, thin, portable laptop weighing in at just under 3 pounds. Much like the other XPS 13 series, it does not have USB Type-A ports; it is equipped with a USB-C and a Thunderbolt 3 port. Its power button is on the right side of the laptop, similar to previous XPS 13 models but different than later ones, in which the power button was moved to the top of the keyboard interface. The laptop comes equipped with a Windows 10 operating system.
