The Dell XPS 13 (2015) has received highly positive reviews since it was announced in 2015, retaining the “smallest 13-inch laptop in the world” accolade even after over a year (not the lightest though). The latest update of XPS 13 (2016) is fitted with n...
I do not put laptops through benchmark tests, those are better left to the professional tech sites. I review products based on actual day-to-day user experience. The Dell XPS 13 definitely lives up to its name as one of the best Windows i7 ultrabooks. I h...

Since Ryan's review of the XPS 13 , which is now his daily driver, Dell has added the XPS 15, which is the smallest 15-inch notebook design you will find anywhere. The XPS 13 is already...
I love the keyboards on ThinkPad notebooks, and the trackpads on MacBooks. But the XPS 15 is my new favorite laptop, hands down. This is not to downplay the XPS 13, itself a fine ultra-portable machine with tremendous upside. The price on the 13-inch mach...

Businessman's toy. We have already reviewed many different configurations of the Dell XPS 13 (9350). This time we want to describe a variant with Intel i7-6560U CPU, integrated Intel Iris Graphics 540, and matte 1080p display. In addition, we will cover t...

As we have already done four reviews on the Dell XPS 13 9350 with different configurations, it is not easy to add new discoveries in the verdict. Our test model with i7-6560U (Intel Iris Graphics) and matte FHD display from Dell's business shop primarily...

Today, I made the switch from my much-loved MBA to this new Dell XPS 13, the MBA still admittedly one of the world's best and this one in particular having had more use and done more travelling than any might ever see. It just recently survived a 6.2 leve...
The day before the offer of this Dell XPS 13 availed itself, I had been very happy working away on my Macbook Air and thinking how well it has held up, considering such low expectations were originally cast for permanent ultrabook batteries. Battery life...

The Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook might have been the best thin and light laptop in Dell's lineup, but the new XPS 13-9350 shows that there's always room for improvement. Starting at $799 and topping out just below $2000, the XPS 13 is available with your choice...

The Dell XPS 13 Touch (2016 Gold Edition) ($1,749.99 as tested) is a repackaging of the excellent 2016 Dell XPS 13 Touch, with some faster guts to go along with the spiffy gold exterior. This laptop includes a Core i7 processor rather than an i5, and Inte...

Maxed out. Our latest XPS 13 is equipped to the brim with a 3200x1800 resolution touchscreen, Core i7-6560U CPU, Iris Graphics 540, and a 512 GB NVMe SSD. Is this higher cost SKU worth the extra horsepower?...

As far as product refreshes go, the new Dell XPS 13 is a pretty minor one. But considering the Broadwell-based XPS 13 was my favorite laptop of 2015, I just had to get in the new model and see if it's still a class-leading device. New for late 2015/early...
The same awesome design and display as last year's XPS 13. Skylake provides better performance and efficiency. Thunderbolt 3 is a handy inclusion. Decent battery life.
Highend models are expensive, entrylevel model only comes with 4GB RAM.

The Dell XPS 13 (9350) is an excellent laptop. I had a great time using it at CES 2016 and to me, there's no situation that's more “real world” than that. I appreciate very much that the chassis is smaller than other 13.3 laptops, and I liked the very goo...

At first glance, most would dismiss Dell's 2016 refresh of the XPS 13 as minor at best. If you dig into the details though, the upgrade to arguably the best ultrabook of last year is a worthy one.The highlights are the move from the 5th-gen Broadwell Inte...

We've reviewed the XPS 13 a few months ago and we are now back to see how far the successor has gone. Honestly, it's not much of an upgrade but there are some points to consider given the fact that the new XPS 13 boasts a 6th generation Intel CPU and all...
