Customers value the XPS 13 Plus's stunning OLED display, high-quality keyboard and trackpad, and sleek design. Many appreciate its powerful performance thanks to ample RAM and fast storage, along with its portability and lightweight nature. However, a significant drawback reported by customers is the less-than-stellar battery life. Concerns were also raised regarding the device's tendency to overheat during use.
This laptop is truly stunning! I would rate it 5 stars if it weren't for the battery life. 5-6 hours is pretty disapointing but understandable given the size of the machine. I'm also still trying to get used to the keyboard. While taking online typing speed tests, I find myself accidentally hitting the caps lock key instead of 'A' from time to time. Otherwise though, I love the tactile feel of the switches and the dishing of the keys. The screen is stunning, but it does come at the cost of even more battery life with the OLED model. If maximizing battery life is at the top of your list, the OLED model is probably not the one for you. It's a shame that Dell doesnt offer a FHD OLED display because 3.5K is pretty overkill on a 13" display anyway. Im also not in love with the port selection, but I've become accustomed to dongles at this point. The build quality of this laptop is top notch and if you want a Windows machine that competes with Apple's offerings, look no further. The rigid CNC aluminum chassis, the glass haptic trackpad, the beautiful display.. if it weren't for the battery, it would be hands down a Macbook air killer. Other than that though, this laptop is an engineering marvel and it LOOKS like the future.

It looks and feel good. You have to get use dot the keyboard and trackpad. Very portable. It ran very hot even when idling, it felt very uncomfortable on lap. Battery Drains very quickly. Screen was very sharp but it was too small to my test. I returned it.
