The unit is frozen in the middle of restoring to factory settings and is unable to complete the operation. Fairly awful keyboard. Expensive

Superb build quality; Great screen with ultra small bezels; Small footprint; Powerful CPU and graphics in a small package
Trackpad a little jumpy; Unusual screen brightness fluctuations; Throttles due to TDP under heavy loads; Dell's size and battery specs misleading; Odd webcam placement
Truth is, you're not going to find a laptop with a 13.3” screen and such a small footprint anywhere else, and it's just as light and compact as it is powerful and attractive. This particular version tested here handles games better than most other ultrapo...
We loved last year's XPS 13 and were pleased that Dell took the refresh of this great computer seriously for the 6th Generation of Intel's processors. The addition of Thunderbolt 3 helps this new model feel ready for the future of USB-C based peripheral...
This updated XPS 13 has a stunning nearly edge-to-edge high-res display, and an upgraded processor and graphics
This gold edition is very expensive, and battery life isn't as good as some other 13-inch laptops. The touchpad is tricky to use for some multitouch gestures
The excellent Dell XPS 13 series gets a high-end upgrade in this gold edition with improved performance, but also a high-end price to match...

Gorgeous bezel, less display, Strong performance, Lightweight
No Ethernet port, Off, center webcam, Small frame limits battery life

Superb display, powerful 6th-gen Intel Skylake processor, very well-built, quality camera
Battery life isn't all-day, compromised storage
Without wanting to downplay the importance of battery and storage, there are enough good things about the refreshed XPS 13 that living with its faults doesn't seem like a big price to pay.Of course, there is a very literal big price to pay, but even for t...

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...

The 2015 Dell XPS 13 is a well built, compact laptop that outdoes the obvious competition in some key respects such as screen quality and near-borderless display. Here is a 13.3-inch laptop that takes up little more space than an 11.6-inch model. The new...
The XPS 13 is a welcome return to tip-top form for Dell. In fact, there's only one thing that really bugs me about the XPS 13, and that's Dell's stubborn insistence on forcing dynamic contrast on at all times. It's a stupid decision, in my opinion.That as...
Superb display, powerful 6th-gen Intel Skylake processor, very well-built, quality camera
Expensive, battery life isn't all-day, compromised storage
Dell's "prosumer" laptop gets a successful Intel Skylake refresh. The speedy processor is just one of many reasons to consider the XPS 13, with a stunning, near-borderless UHD+ display, exquisite build quality and a very capable webcam...
