Various models with different processors, storage and screen resolutions are available. The XPS line is where Dell shows off its design chops. The XPS 13 has the biggest display yet, at That means you get a relatively large display in the body of what would traditionally have been a laptop with just an 11in screen. And what a screen it is. The version tested had the 4K touchscreen option, which is crisper than practically anything else, super bright, colour accurate and all-round gorgeous.
It feels solid, sleek and unique. The wedge-shaped laptop weighs just 1. The new, slightly larger keyboard is great.
Well spaced, stable, fairly quiet, with 1mm of key travel and good feedback when pressed. The XPS 13 ships with not one but two biometric systems for securely logging you into Windows without a password. The new design has a Windows Hello infrared face recognition camera squeezed into the bezel at the top of the screen and a fingerprint scanner built into the power button. However, the slow response times lead to some visible ghosting, for example of the mouse pointer.
Away from the outlet, the battery life is also limited by the smaller Wh battery. We would have preferred to also see the Wh battery of the more expensive model here. Overall, the basic model of the XPS 15 appears to be configured fairly carelessly, and the Core iH is not very impressive together with the low power limit.
With a Core iH, the larger battery, and the matte panel, you would get a significantly better overall package at a not much higher expense. Even though the old quad-core processor offers slightly less performance, this should hardly be noticeable with everyday tasks. For more computing intensive tasks, the new iH is also not the best choice. That, combined with the laptop's instant-on performance, lets you use facial recognition to sign in and start working fast.
Based on what's happening with Dell's Latitude business laptops, there's a good chance these features will come to the next version of the XPS So, if those features matter to you, you may want to wait for the next-gen version. And who knows, maybe Dell will decide to have more than just a couple of Thunderbolt 4 ports on board, too.
