Starting this morning, Dell and Intel are in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for their third Create.Work.Inspire event, and you’re invited to come check it out too! This time the new Dell XPS 13 ultrabook is taking center stage as a key player in the creation of a music video for Japanese rock band, The Suzan. We are on hand and behind the scenes, watching as the Create.Work.Inspire team uses the new XPS 13 to weave together the production of a music video from start to finish.

Update 03/19/12: The finished music video is finally ready, so check it out below! Also check out the behind the scenes video, which further showcases how the Dell XPS 13 was involved in the whole process.

10:26 AM: My initial impressions of the XPS 13

10:29 AM: First time holding it, the outside is very reminiscent of the MacBook Air, but that is a good thing.

10:30 AM: The aluminum and carbon fiber material feels really strong and well made.

10:30 AM: The keyboard is very, very nice to use. Keys are well spaced. The rubberized finish surrounding the keyboard is nice too.

10:30 AM: I love how the display is nearly edge to edge. Definitely looks like a laptop smaller than 13″, yet the display is 13″, so it’s like my mind is playing tricks on me.

10:31 AM: Bummer! There is No built-in memory card reader

11:09 AM: Comment From Guest: How does it stack up against the Macbook Air??

11:10 AM: The outside cover is very similar, and so is the basic formfactor. The build quality is similar too
