  • Time to get into some more exciting bits: eyes on the heat sink. Said sink looks awfully similar to that of the Early 2014 MacBook Air.

  • It comes complete with some crusty thermal paste. Yum.

  • Lately, we've seen a trend toward smaller heat sinks as Intel improves its processors' thermal efficiency. The Core i5-5200U loaded in the XPS 13 rates 15 watts of thermal design power.
