Dell XPS 13 review - To infinity but not beyond

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist
of the Juniper Battery


Dell's premium XPS range has long been seen as a challenger to the MacBook's position as the standard bearer in the laptop market when it comes to design and performance.

The latest model to take on Apple's range is the 2015 version of the XPS 13, an ultraportable laptop with an innovative screen design that could finally trump the MacBook Air as the best laptop around.


The Dell XPS 13 is a combination of aluminium and black carbon fibre and features an understated if attractive design. Much less tapered than the MacBook Air, the XPS 13 is a well-built machine, which feels like a premium laptop with battery like dell 5208U battery, dell Inspiron 3700 battery, dell G5345 battery, dell Inspiron 1300 battery, dell Inspiron B120 battery, dell KD186 battery, dell Inspiron 5150 battery, dell Precision M20 battery, dell Precision M4300 battery, dell Latitude D531 battery, dell Precision M65 battery, dell Precision M60 battery.


One of the most important aspects of any laptop for me is portability and this is one area where the XPS 13 trumps almost all competition.


At 15mm thick (at its thickest point) and weighing just 1.17kg, the laptop is perfect for someone who needs to carry their laptop with them.


Just like the Asus UX305 (which is slightly thinner but also slightly heavier) and the MacBook Air (very slightly thicker and heavier), the Dell laptop is a perfect portable companion.


The reason this laptop is so compact of course is because of the inclusion of what Dell calls an "infinity display".


The XPS 13's infinity display essentially means Dell has been able to cram a 13.3in display into the chassis of an 11in laptop.


Aside from the remarkable engineering achievement, the display itself is superb.


Stretching to the edge of the laptop, Dell has removed almost all of the bezel from the XPS 13, leaving you with a really immersive experience when looking at the screen.


My review unit had the standard non-touch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display but you can get the XPS with a eye-waveringly sharp QHD+ (3200 x 1800) which is touch-enabled - though obviously this does cost a lot more.


While I cannot speak to the quality of the higher resolution version, for me the Full HD screen was more than good enough especially as the screen is one of the least reflective I have used on a laptop, and the 400 nits of brightness made it readable in all conditions.


The one issue the infinity display did throw up however, is necessitating the webcam move to the bottom left corner which does not offer the most flattering of angles.
