The editors didn't like
Dropping the higher-resolution screen and edge-to-edge glass overlay means the look is not as slick
And losing touch makes Windows 8 harder to use
SSD recorded slow write rate
Battery life is shorter than previous model we looked at

Compact. Sturdy construction. Comfortable, backlit keyboard. Responsive touchpad and touch screen. Large solid-state drive (SSD). 802.11ac Wi-Fi. All-day battery life.

The Dell XPS 13 Touch is a compact touch-screen ultrabook made with premium materials like carbon fiber and Gorilla Glass. It's an excellent travel companion, but strictly luxury class....
Attractive, compact design, Gorgeous, bright high-resolution screen, Solid battery life and performance thanks to new Intel "Broadwell" CPU
Touch screen only offered on expensive, high-res models, Noticeable, near-constant fan noise, Ethernet, HDMI, and VGA connectivity require an extra dongle
Dell's redesigned XPS 13 is compact, extremely attractive, and perhaps the best all-around Windows laptop you can buy. But expect frequent fan noise, and if you want a touch screen, be prepared to pay a lot while sacrificing some battery life compared to...

Abstract: The Dell XPS 13 is an insanely impressive notebook and it is the most exciting device I've used in 2015. Dell managed to elegantly stuff a 13.3-inch display into a notebook that is about the size of an 11-inch MacBook Air, pair it with a beautiful edge-to...

Trouble-free Linux on good hardware, Price is competitive for the hardware you get, A nice CPU, a quick SSD, and enough RAM to do most stuff with, Excellent screen with good resolution, Dell is doing its part to be a good FOSS citizen with its additions
One-handed opening leads to whole laptop lifting up instead of smoothly opening, Glossy-only screen will lead to some complaints, 8GB of soldered RAM isn't enough to make everyone happy, Distros other than Ubuntu might still require some fiddling to work
I talked over e-mail quite a bit with a former mentor of mine, Rick, about what exactly to say about the easy experience of using Ubuntu on this nice little Ultrabook. I hadn't really had to alter anything in my workflow after carrying it around for a few...
