New XPS 13 Laptop: Reviews Show Why This Premium Laptop Is Worth the Price

New XPS 13 Laptop: Reviews

It’s one of the most expensive, high-quality laptops on the market, and it’s so popular that it’s almost always out of stock. The new XPS 13 laptop from Dell has become the gold standard in premium ultrabooks, but why? What do users love about this new XPS 13 laptop? Here are just some of the features that make it worth the price.

1) The Specs

Packed with a 7th-generation Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM and a fingerprint reader, Dell's new XPS 13 is sleek, stylish and worth every penny. A backlit keyboard is featured on this 2-in-1 laptop that can be used as a tablet or in place as a laptop. Running Windows 10, it features an SD card slot, three USB ports and Bluetooth 4.1 to keep you connected to the outside world. Its webcam is HD at 720p and includes IR Camera for Windows Hello facial recognition in low light settings.

2) The Design

The new laptop is made with a sleek, aluminum unibody enclosure that measures less than an inch thick. It weighs just 3.34 pounds, making it lighter than many laptops on the market. The notebook's display bezels are now narrower, and Lenovo improved the webcam placement to better line up with someone when video chatting. At 13 inches, this device has more screen real estate than most premium ultrabooks with smaller 12-inch displays. The keyboard is centered below the display, and there's plenty of room for typing; I had little trouble using it on my lap during my testing at home and on an airplane during a recent trip to Washington D.C.

3) The Display and Colors

The display of the new XPS 13 laptop is absolutely stunning, with vibrant and bright colors. The viewing angles are impressive and eye-catching whether you're looking from above or below. Plus, it's incredibly thin and compact for all its power and built with sturdy, sustainable materials. With a battery life that can last up to 18 hours on just one charge, you'll never need to worry about your laptop going dead on a busy day or at an airport during your travels.

4) Hardware and Performance

Impeccably crafted with a sleek metal chassis, this premium laptop comes equipped with 7th Gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, 8GB of memory and touch display. Enjoy videos and photo editing that are so lifelike you won't believe they're not true 4K Ultra HD. Check out these reviews to see why this laptop is worth every penny.

5) Connectivity Options

This lightweight and ultra-slim laptop is surprisingly packed with an array of connectivity options, including WiFi 802.11ac for a speedy connection with any WiFi network and Bluetooth 4.1 for connecting to keyboards, mice, printers, and more.

Specifications wise you'll find a PCIe SSD on board that enables super-fast read and write speeds as well as a RAM of up to 16GB DDR4 SDRAM so you can load up multiple programs without lag time. The FHD display offers 1920x1080 resolution while Intel HD Graphics 620 keep everything running smoothly and quietly. All this translates into a laptop experience worth the hefty price tag (for some) but those who really want the best features offered by today's technology will appreciate what this laptop has to offer.

6) Webcam and Keyboard

The Dell XPS 13 is not just a powerful machine, but it's also one of the most innovative laptops on the market. The convertible design means you can use it as a laptop or tablet, with 180-degree rotating display that flips to either tent or tablet mode. It has a webcam located in its bezel rather than above its display, so in order to make video calls your head doesn't need to be raised. Its sleek aluminum chassis and carbon fiber interior creates a smooth surface and almost zero noticeable keyboard flex while typing. The keyboard has an extra sensitive click pad which makes working with finger gestures more responsive and accurate when navigating this high-resolution touchscreen - an elegant solution that other laptop manufacturers will likely adopt soon.

7) Gaming Performance

The new xps 13 boasts an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and integrated UHD Graphics 620 for smooth, enjoyable gaming with no hiccups. Plus, it comes with 16GB of RAM so you can multitask without worrying about slowdowns. There are also impressive upgrades to battery life, from 18 hours to 27 hours on a single charge (based on do nothing time). To top it all off, these new laptops come with responsive tech support and no bloatware installed.

8) Battery Life

The New Dell laptop packs an impressive 13.3 inch display with a dazzling 3200 x 1800 resolution, but at a hefty price of $1200. For those of you that are looking for a more affordable option, your first stop should be their eight-inch tablet that offers excellent battery life, compatibility and just as stunning quality on its 1920 x 1280 touchscreen display at $580. With this small device, you can enjoy movies or games wherever you go while traveling to different destinations, working from home or even using it as your entertainment system in your bedroom!

"The only downside is that this tablet doesn't have nearly as many features as the new Dell laptop like an SD card reader, USB ports or HDMI input for instance."
