Customers are positive about the portability and screen of the XPS 13.3" Touch-Screen Laptop. They describe it as "super fast and super transportable" with a "very high resolution screen." On the other hand, customers are negative about the battery life, touchpad, and camera position. They mention that the battery life only lasts for 5 to 6 hours, the touchpad is "quirky and troublesome," and the camera is "horribly placed."

Pros: edge-to-edge screen, screen resolution, performance, lightweight, small foot print, available ports, two charging options. Cons: camera placement, touch pad a little loud when clicking, but tap option circumvents the need to click in most cases. Touch pad can be a little sensitive when scrolling, but I'm being picky. This configuration (i7, 256GB and touchscreen) of the Dell XPS 13 seems to have the best reviews over other configurations. I have not experienced issues with the keyboard or trackpad like some. My typing experience is very good and I like that the back-lit keyboard turns off on its own and lights up when you need it. I exchanged the latest HP 13.3 for this unit and glad I did, though I really liked the HP, too. This laptop allows you to use the factory charger with separate barrel plug or a 45w USB-C laptop adapter or multi port charging device or compatible external battery. Having versatile charging options is important to me as I am on the road quite a bit. I haven't had the computer long enough to examine the battery life claims, but seems to drain faster than advertised. The screen is awesome and almost too beautiful to use as a touchscreen. This unit is only 6 ounces heavier than the HP 13.3 Spectre that I exchanged, but it is noticeable, but still beats laptops weighing over 3 lbs.

This is a great laptop! I have owned it for about a month now, and so far it has worked amazing for me. I purchased the Open-Box certified version and it was a completely new laptop in perfect condition. I have used it for school, and its smaller frame is a great feature! The screen looks amazing and is by far my favorite feature of this laptop. The sound quality of this laptop is surprisingly good. It reaches a loud volume at high quality for a 13". This laptop also contains of plenty of power. I have been able to play games, and edit video. It went way smoother than expected! This is a great laptop and I personally believe the Dell XPS line is the best on the market!

It has a beautiful screen and best resolution forts size, However, 4K is too soon to buy. 4K is not for me because some apps(VLC, adobe CS5, winamp) don't support 4k, so their icons are very tiny can't even use. we can make them bigger with regedit but they and the text will blurry. Even i tried to decrease the resolution to HD, text will be blurry because it is not its native resolution. Battery life last for 5 to 6hours.
