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.

Mediocre battery life

Middling battery life

Keyboard is a tad small
Prone to crashes
At press time
The unit is frozen in the middle of restoring to factory settings and is unable to complete the operation. Fairly awful keyboard. Expensive
The design means the webcam is awkwardly placed at the bottom of the display. Though the QHD-resolution touchscreen is beautiful
It adds a lot to the price and hurts battery life. Gold version will cost you $50 more

Dell's XPS 13 remains a worthwhile upgrade, and despite a year of competitive laptops, still easily our favorite. This supposedly minor refresh makes it even a little better. If you're looking for the best compact ultrabook, you don't have to look much fu...

Very compact frame, Carbon fiber and aluminum construction, QHD+ (3,200-by-1,800) display is breathtaking, USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 interface, About 9 hours of battery life in testing
Needs adapters for external displays
The latest Dell XPS 13 Touch delivers the ideal combination of power and prestige, with a sturdy build, a gorgeous QHD+ touch screen, a speedy new processor, and USB-C port with Thunderbolt support...
Abstract: When Dell released the first XPS 13 early on in 2015, it fell agonisingly short of greatness. The design was there, the core hardware was fast enough, but a series of niggling little flaws prevented it from mounting a genuine challenge to the best ultrapo...

Abstract: I had the Dell XPS 13 Intel Core i5 for a couple of weeks - a mid-range laptop and yet with power to spare. Inside the Dell XPS 13 there is a 6th Gen Intel Core i5 6200U. This model comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD.In terms of performance the Dell XPS 13...
SSD recorded slow write rate, Battery life is shorter than previous model we looked at
Gaming isn't the core competency of Dell's ultrabook, but it'll take light gaming in its stride. Most XPS 13 owners will settle for the growing number of gaming titles found in Microsoft's application Store. The notebook scored well in 3DMark's benchmarki...
Small, light and powerful as hell, Touchscreen builtin with minimal effect on battery, Solid construction with carbon fibre and aluminium, Great for on the go business people as tough as old boots
Not a lot of wow factor, No SD slot
This ultrabook is more than capable, there's really not much it can't do. But I must be getting grumpy in my old age, there was just no ‘wow' factor.Yes it has a touchscreen and the resolution is 1080p compared to the Mac's 900, but I was hoping for some...
Compact and attractive design, Great CPU performance, All-day battery life
No Intel Iris Graphics, Gappy touchpad and keyboard, Bizarre webcam placement
Dell has announced the price of one of its new quad-core XPS 13s, which will go on sale September 12 for £1199. For this reason, it's almost certainly worth waiting before buying an XPS 13; the current models that are still in stock will almost certainly...
The new XPS 13 might be more of a refresh than a complete overhaul, but the upgraded components and the addition of Thunderbolt 3 bring it right up to date. It remains visually stunning, and that gorgeous display means it's still one of the most portable...
