Good battery life especially when it’s on safe mode. The keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, and the trackpad is precise and responsive. Plus, the premium aluminum and carbon fiber design gives it a modern, high-end feel. Futuristic look. It is a fantastic choice for professionals, students, and anyone who wants a powerful, stylish, and ultra-portable laptop. Highly recommended!

The XPS13 9340 is the only laptop as of now fully certified for Ubuntu 24.04. It is truly a dream for Linux works perfect, and is great to use for general development purposes and other work. Highly recommended.

The best in class laptop i have owned so far. Its powerful, lightweight and sophisticated enough for my coding uses

Its a brilliant, sleek and smart machine ! I would recommend buying it

The Dell XPS 13 is a great lightweight laptop, built for portability. It weighs in at 2.6lbs and is only .60inches thick, and at 11.62" x 7.84" it's almost the same size as a standard spiral paper notebook. The XPS 13 could easily fit inside a medium to large purse and virtually any backpack or briefcase. Depending on the intensity of the usage, the battery could last for up to 18 hours, outlasting most trips. Charging from zero to 100% takes less than 1.5hrs with the correct wattage charger. Chargers with less than 60W will still work but effect the rate of charge. The design is pretty stream lined with the function buttons and touchpad seamlessly hidden under the Gorilla Glass 3. The touchpad does use haptics and can be tapped or pressed to activate a mouse button click. While there is no outline for the touchpad, one can define the edges of it with the spacebar, as it lines up perfectly with the edges of that. The rest of the body is made from aluminum, which gives everything a lightweight but solid and durable feel. Depending on what is going on with the laptop(starting or logged in), the top row of keys under the glass will light up as the "F" keys or they will actually display the media shortcut functions, ie. volume, brightness,prt sc and etc. This feature can also be toggled by holding the "fn" key. The Display has a locking hinge that opens to approximately 135 degrees. The LED FHD+ display looks pretty good. The colors look pretty vibrant although I typically like to enable the blue light reduction features on all of my screens which generally offsets the colors slightly. The screen does offer HDR and different color profiles to fit anyone's preference. The refresh rate is 120Hz with a 35ms response time. The brightness is 500nits with a contrast ratio of 2000:1 The display itself is not a touchscreen, although I must admit that I think all screens this small should have touch capabilities and open a full 360 degrees for ease of use. The performance is pretty solid with the i7 processor and 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, (upgradeable to 64GB LPDDR5X). I have had no issues with using this for work or entertainment. The integrated GPU would probably be okay for a lot of web based games and downloaded games set at the lower performance and display options. Just out of curiosity, I downloaded a Quake 2 demo and it played, but it was pretty glitchy as expected. Fortnite ran okay. Call of Duty Warzone was very laggy, again as expected because this is not a gaming pc. Benchmarking tests showed favorable results for performance with most production apps, photo editing and digital content creation. All the Microsoft Office apps ran very well. I was able to edit my 234sheet Excel spreadsheet without issues and I was even able to extract all my pages as individual .pdfs in less than 3.5minutes. It used to take my old desktop 15minutes or more to do the same thing. I also had no issues with Word or any of the other office apps. This does have WIFI 7 so downloads work very fast if you are connected to a similar speed network. The laptop does come pre-installed with the Killer app to help prioritize and increase network speeds. The 13" screen might seem limiting at times, but don't worry, this laptop does support additional screens. Even though the device only has 2 ports on it, they are both Thunderbolt 4 ports. So you can plug in a multitude of various devices using a hub or USB C adapters. Through this option you can plug into your big screen TVs, monitors, or even portable display screens. While on the go they do make attachable screens that run off your own device's USB for power. I use a lot of apps running at the same time, so larger screens or additional screens are preferred for me. If you don't have access to additional screens, then the Windows Snap feature can help you to manage all your additional windows. The XPS 13 does come with a dedicated Copilot key to easily access AI features. From here either you can type, or hit the mic button to voice your requests and Copilot will do it's best to help you out with opening apps, checking the weather or assisting you in writing projects. Additional features include a fingerprint sensor, backlit keys and 2 web cameras with infrared sensors for low to no light settings. When under a heavy workload the bottom does get pretty hot, but the temp is usually negligible during general usage. The cooling fans are noticeable when they kick on but are relatively quiet. Overall, this laptop is a great option for someone looking for a portable pc, it's so light and small it can be carried virtually anywhere. The AI based optimization software automatically fine-tunes your PC for the best performance, audio, video, and battery life possible. The keyboard uses full size keys for a better typing experience than most smaller devices. It's nice being able to keep everything on one device going from office to home or in between. I have a hub set up at home and work with additional displays, mice and printers for a seamless transition from work, travel and back home.
