Customer Ratings & Reviews

Seems like a great laptop so far for my college grandchild

This laptop is built so nice. Great feel. Light weight. Beautiful screen. Excellent battery life. So why am I wrestling with this review? For daily tasks, entertainment, browsing and basic tasks this is a fantastic laptop. Add in the "built in AI" capabilities with Copilot and this feels like a winner. This is the Microsoft answer to high end Chromebooks. The ARM processor gives you hours and hours of sipping the power. So why am I struggling with my review? This is the 3rd attempt to get ARM processors in laptops. And they have done a fantastic job with the Snapdragon X Elite. But ARM Windows still has compatibility issues even with Windows built in apps like Snipping Tool takes forever to open and then does not function right. App compatibility in general is 50/50. Google Drive does not work. OneDrive works great, it is a MS product though. Games and software I have attempted to load are 50/50 to install and 50/50 to run on top of that. The video and processor is not powerful enough except to run at low graphics. I have had quite a few applications that work suddenly become unresponsive. For Linux heads, I am still looking for a ARM distro that is not extremely limited. I have been playing with Linux Mint LMDE 6 (ARM). There are 2 USB type C ports. That is it. You can charge over either. Unfortunately a HDMI dongle was not included like in my larger XPS. The dongle from my larger XPS works with this machine and most monitors or TVs. You can also use a USB hub/dock with no issue. The size of any monitor you attach to may cause performance issues. My ultrawide monitor is not detected by this machine with the hub/dongle I use with my other laptops (work and personal). This is my quick trip laptop. The touch screen is quite, maybe overly, responsive. And a excellent fingerprint magnet! There is 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of memory. Neither appears to be upgradeable. Memory reports back as a single slot. The SSD may be upgradeable, but it reports as fixed hard drive. The keyboard is backlit, you will need to mess with bios setting (F2 during boot then System Configuration) to keep the keyboard backlight on and determine if the capacitive buttons are function keys or multimedia keys by default. This can be controlled using the fn key to switch between function and multimedia. The power button is hidden next to the backspace key. Touch typing is a challenge, the keyboard is very flat with very little key travel to activate the press. It is a bit hard to feel the separation between the keys. Copilot works really well, but is still quite limited. Being able to generate AI responses, even while offline is a nice addition, but not a deal breaker or maker in my mind. In all honesty, AI seems to be not much more than a chatbot in front of a web search engine at this point. Being able to create images is nice and can be fun, but has limited uses in real world application. Being able to expand on a search or ask for a way to present an idea is helpful. With this being ARM I am surprised there is not a cellular option. I just use the hotspot on my phone if I need internets. Another thing that surprised me, the hinge on the screen does not flip completely back to be in a tablet type mode. Overall I really like this laptop. I really want to love it. It is great just grabbing and taking with you somewhere like a doctors visit where you will be waiting a long time or on a train ride. It is so lightweight and takes up about the same room as a tablet in a backpack. This would also be great for a student for use at college. My biggest gripe is an oldie but goodie. ARM compatibility. But it is getting better.

nice computer with new snapdragon chip, run way faster.

Small powerhouse, very light mobile and great battery.

I'm giving 2 stars for battery life. If your workflow involves any audio or video production I'd steer clear of any Windows ARM based machine until more delevopers are on board. I could not install any audio applications on this machine, including Ableton Live, Reason 12, or Bitwig Studio. The problem is the drivers. They need to be rewritten for ARM. I the end I returned this and picked up the other XPS with Intel lunar lake chipset. Battery life is just as good and full compatibility.

Don't buy, It is not worth, buy macbook m2 light, Only problem with laptop because they made changes and add processor snapdragon, it makes laptop worse, I am returning soon, and You buy it and it lags it cant handle your steam games either it all lags, you be facing issue very often, and it is just garbage, and battery life same as all other laptop, it only can go 7-8 hours if screen on and you do nothing, but if you just using it no playing games even that it goes 3hours that is it, and from the time battery life is dying faster, YOU WERE WARNED

Loving this machine, I have not run into any compatibility issues, crazy i can use my iPhone charger to keep unit at 100% while watching YouTube all day. I am fantastically impressed.

I am go glad I chose the Dell XPS 13. It is a pleasure to use and love the display and keyboard. Would definitely recommend this laptop for all users.

Great laptop, I purchased it after my previous computer slowed down on me and this computer has been great.

It was alright ultimately returned it, price was a little high.
