Our take on the Dell XPS 13

The Dell XPS 13 is Dell's 13-inch ultraportable, sold in several builds: Intel Core Ultra versions with a 13.4-inch InfinityEdge screen, and a Snapdragon X Elite variant. It is light (about 2.7 lb), has a backlit keyboard, a fingerprint reader and a 120Hz display option. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V build pairs 16GB of fast LPDDR5X memory with a 512GB NVMe SSD, Intel Arc graphics and a 2K 30-120Hz panel rated at 500 nits. Reviewers and owners praise the light build, the screen and the battery life; the main complaints are the USB-C-only ports and the small base memory and storage on cheaper builds.

Questions and answers

Intel or Snapdragon version?

The Intel Core Ultra version runs all Windows apps and is the safer pick. The Snapdragon X Elite build has better battery life but can struggle with some apps that lack Arm support.

How much RAM and storage do I need?

Choose at least 16GB RAM and 512GB storage if you keep many tabs open or store files locally. The 8GB and 128GB builds are only enough for light web and office work.

Does it have USB-A or HDMI?

No. The XPS 13 has USB-C ports only, so plan on a USB-C hub or dock for USB-A drives, HDMI monitors and card readers.

How long does the battery last?

Dell rates some builds at up to 19 hours. Real-world use with a bright screen and heavy browsing is shorter, but owners report a full workday on a charge.

What comes in the box?

The laptop and a USB-C power adapter. A mouse, sleeve or dock is not included.

Is the Dell XPS 13 worth it?

It is a fair buy for a premium 13-inch ultraportable if you pick a build with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The 8GB and 128GB builds undercut its strengths, so compare those against rivals before choosing.
