Solid performance, lovely 4K touchscreen, webcam is now in the right place
Trackpad can feel cramped, the Rose Gold colour is polarising, it can get expensive, zero design innovation, Rating:
The 2019 XPS 13 is the best to date. Dell has basically perfected the ultraportable design, with the laptop offering an excellent display, decent performance, and more flexibility in a smaller package than the Surface Laptop 2 and other thin and light lap...

Sensiblypositioned webcam, Slight better display and battery life
No real performance improvements, Facial recognition removed
With no real improvements over its predecessor, Dell's latest XPS 13 feels like more of a mid-generation revision than a genuine update. Not a disappointment, certainly, but you might as well go with last year's model...

Abstract: The Dell XPS 13 has been so dangerously close to perfect for so long that the latest iteration left me a little surprised. I was turning it this way and that to find something I could fault it for, not because I wanted to unfairly ding the product, it's j...
The XPS 13 for 2019 is a tricky one to summarise, especially with just hands-on time meaning we've run no benchmarks yet.Since last year's model got the big overhaul, there was little Dell could do to improve the already almost perfect laptop. The reposit...
In our review of 2018's Dell XPS 13, we hailed the laptop as one of the best we'd tested in a long time, criticising only its ill-positioned webcam and lacklustre battery life. Now, with its ideally-mounted webcam and bold claims of all-day battery life...

The big deal here is obviously choosing macOS or Windows and it goes without saying which one we prefer at Macworld.When it comes to the other elements, there's very little separating these two excellent laptops. Some things are pretty minor and down to y...

At the starting price of RM5,709 for the Intel Core i5 + 1080p screen variant, and up to RM8,369 for the Intel Core i7 + 4K touchscreen variant which we reviewed here today, the Dell XPS line is catered for a group of customers that who knows what they ne...

All in all, the XPS 13 2019 is an excellent refresh of the previous version. It improved a couple of aspects, such as the webcam placement and a newer processor. The screen is visually pleasing with its thin bezels and vibrant colors, the audio quality is...

Abstract: If I told you that the biggest new thing in this year's Dell XPS 13 laptop was its camera, you would probably scratch your head. What's the big deal with a webcam?Well, for Dell, and indeed many Dell users such as myself, this was the one thing that had...
