There’s no Windows Hello camera, which is slightly disappointing, but there’s an option on some models for a fingerprint scanner. But it also has a Thunderbolt 3 USB-C socket that can double as a charging port too, which means you can charge the Dell with either the included power adapter or any USB-C adapter that’s powerful enough.īattery life was pretty good, lasting around 8 hours of relatively heavy use - enough for a full work day. The XPS 13 has two USB-A ports, an SD card reader, headphones socket and traditional power plug. (They are only just noticeable over the general hubbub of an open-plan office.) The version with a Core i7 and HD620 graphics as tested was capable of blasting its way through anything from heavy photo editing to even a little bit of light gaming, capable of running XCOM 2 on low settings with the fans going flat out. The keys are well isolated, have good travel, they only have a little play, but are a bit on the small side. The lid and base are metal, the screen all glass and the deck made of carbon fibre that feels like soft-touch black plastic, which does quite well at hiding the dirt and sweat-marks that usually build up with day-long typing. The XPS 13 is a metal and plastic-looking sandwich. It’s available in full HD, but it is the sharp, colourful and simply great QHD+ option that is the draw – it’s one of the best 13in screens available on any laptop at the moment. But the best thing about the XPS13 is its so-called infinity screen, which has only small bezels at the top, left and right side. Like most of the machines here, the XPS 13 has the latest seventh generation Intel Core i5 or i7 “U-series” processors, Intel HD620 or Iris Plus 640 graphics and your choice of 8 or 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SDD storage. Since becoming a private company and separating from its enterprise arm, Dell has managed to shift itself from a work-machine dullard into a company that makes well designed computers – and the XPS 13 is probably the best.
