The notebook’s gorgeous display is complemented by four internal speakers, which were perfectly fine for listening in on video calls or watching YouTube videos. I also appreciate that the display is touch-capacitive, which made it very easy to zoom into webpages or quickly scroll around when I didn’t feel like fiddling with the touchpad. And when it came time to geek out over the new trailer for “Star Wars: Andor,” I was immediately struck by the bright green laser blasts and rich orange explosions that filled the screen as a rebel ship took out TIE fighters. The XPS 13 Plus’ incredibly sharp 3456 x 2160 panel was a delight to use as my main work display, offering deep blacks and rich contrast that made it easy to comfortably concentrate on huge chunks of text while writing and editing reviews. It becomes even better if you choose the optional OLED model, which our review unit came with.
Dell’s vibrant, nearly borderless InfinityEdge screen continues to be just about the best laptop display out there, offering gorgeous colors and barely any bezel to distract you from getting work done or becoming fully immersed in your favorite shows and movies.
While the XPS 13 Plus completely reinvents the classic XPS 13 design, it keeps one important thing exactly the same: the display. The completely edge-to-edge design allows the keys to be even bigger than those of the standard XPS 13, and their light soft-touch coating kept my hands comfortable throughout long days of crunching away. The same can be said about the laptop’s keyboard, which feels every bit as snappy and responsive as I’ve come to expect from an XPS notebook. While I think some of the XPS 13 Plus’ ultra-minimalist features are to its detriment, the seamless touchpad is proof that you can have form and function all at once. Scrolling through webpages and pinching to zoom felt natural right away, and much like on Apple’s recent MacBooks, the laptop’s haptic feedback does a great job simulating the feel of a traditional mouse click. I continue to be amazed by the laptop’s invisible glass touchpad, which, despite having no clear borders or even a physical click underneath, just kind of works the way you’d want a touchpad to. It looks like something out of a modern sci-fi movie - both familiar and futuristic at once - and is almost guaranteed to turn heads when you’re out using it in public.įortunately, the XPS 13 Plus’ eye-catching design isn’t entirely for show. Opening the notebook’s lid reveals a strikingly minimalist interior, with no visible touchpad, no physical function keys and a truly gapless keyboard that doesn’t waste a centimeter of space. While I don’t love everything about the XPS 13 Plus’ design, there’s no denying that it’s a looker. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
