The Dell XPS line has been around for quite some time and was always on the more basic side when it comes to design—focusing on function as much as possible and only tweaking a few minor changes as generations of Dell XPS 13 and 15 are launched.
A Better Dell XPS 13
However, you can expect the newest version of the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 laptop to be a lot more different than its predecessor that was released three years ago, according to The Verge.
Dell XPS 13's completely revised 2-in-1 laptop has changed more than just its looks as you can now expect a powerful and fanless processor, a new trackpad and keyboard, a much better overall design, and an improved display than the original.
That said, various reviews for the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 laptop have come out, giving potential customers some information that could help them decide if they're going to purchase it or not.
Prices and Configurations
For starters, the laptop's price starts at $999 with the following configurations:
Intel Core i3-1005G1
4GB of RAM
1920x1200 touch display
Intel UHD Graphics
The $1,597 version has:
Core i7-1065G7 CPU
16GB of RAM
512GB SSD
Intel Iris Plus Graphics
There is also a $1,799 version that has the same core specs as the $1,597 unit, but with 32GB of RAM.
The Good and the Bad
The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 laptop also has its own set of good and bad.
One of the convertible laptop's biggest strengths is its minimalist design, which looks more modern. It's also very lightweight and slim, so it's easy to carry around and a perfect laptop for students and workers who need their laptop with them at all times.
Many are also commending its powerful performance and display, paired with a long battery life that can reach 11 to 16 hours a day, making it a perfect choice for multitasking and heavy workloads.
Dell has also used an anti-glare technology for this new XPS 13 version that still gives you vibrant display with much less reflection to help you save your eyes when you're working on your computer for a long time.
The technology also makes it useful when you're using the device outdoors on a sunny day.
However, there are mixed reactions when it comes to its new keyboard, with some thinking that it has a rather slow response—not the worst, but definitely not the best.
Some critics are also disappointed that it doesn't have that many ports, something that you can find troublesome if you need them when working.
Overall, the reviews for the Dell XPS are positive, saying it's one of the best 2-in-1 laptops in the market today.
