The Dell XPS 13 keeps everything that was great about the previous model -- including its near edge-to-edge-display and fantastic keyboard -- and adds the latest Intel Kaby Lake processors and Thunderbolt 3

The new XPS 13 body is smaller
With better internal cooling and a sharp-looking all-white interior. The nearly bezel-free screen still looks great and there's a fingerprint reader hidden under the power button
Great form-factor
Great battery life
Compact
Lightweight
Battery performance
The editors didn't like
The design means the webcam is awkwardly placed at the bottom of the display. Though the QHD-resolution touchscreen is beautiful
It adds a lot to the price and hurts battery life. Gold version will cost you $50 more
The thin frame around the display means the webcam is placed at the bottom of the display. Though the QHD-resolution touchscreen is beautiful
The system's biggest quirk
A below-the-screen webcam
Remains. Touch isn't standard
And most of the ports have been replaced by USB-C
Performance not as solid as some other convertibles

Gorgeous 3200x1800 IGZO InfinityEdge display, Big performance bump for 8th Gen Core i7 processor, Fast NVMe storage, Premium thin and light design, Excellent battery life
No native display output, Non-expandable memory
The previous version of Dell's XPS 13 garnered high praise from many tech pubs and ultimately earned our Editor's Choice award here at HotHardware as well. And with the Kaby Lake R update, so does this year's model. While nearly a year has passed since th...
Abstract: If you want a traditional PC laptop with a modern look, the Dell XPS 13 is a great option. Its stunning InfinityEdge display has nearly no bezel, and its impressive memory, integrated graphics card and variety of ports make it the best laptop overall. Thi...

Abstract: The XPS 13 got its newest revision a few months ago and we're taking our first look. Not much has changed since the last revision, but the highlights are a slightly larger batter, new Kaby Lake based CPU and GPU and a new finish for the enclosure. Dell ha...

Abstract: Over the past few years, a flurry of two-in-one devices have made their way onto the market hoping to catch your attention. Sure, there are devices out there that either looks great, perform amazingly, have an excellent battery life, or feel comfortable t...
Impeccable design and build quality, Light and portable like always, Good input devices, Fast storage solution (M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD support), Nearly border-less and almost flawless IPS IGZO QHD+ panel, Outstanding web browsing runtimes
Coil whine, Pricey, The screen uses high-frequency PWM from 0 to 99% brightness (Health-Guard profile fixes that)
