Dell XPS9310-7368SLV-PUS is engineered with: 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7 Processor (12MB Cache, up to 4.8 GHz), 13.4-inch FHD+ (1920 x 1200) InfinityEdge Touch Anti-Reflective 500-Nit Display, 16GB 4267MHz LPDDR4x , 512 GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics with shared graphics memory, Platinum Silve with Black carbon fiber palmrest.

RTINGS

If you need a portable device for general productivity tasks like web browsing, text formatting, and video playback, we recommend the Dell XPS 13 (2021), the best laptop with a thin and light design we've tested. It's a sleek and stylish Windows laptop with incredibly thin bezels and a sturdy aluminum chassis. It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around, and its battery lasts over 10 hours of light productivity. It charges over USB-C, so you don't have to worry about lugging around a proprietary charger.

When it comes to user experience, the XPS 13 is truly among the best. It has a colorful 1080p display that gets bright enough to combat glare, and you can upgrade to a 4k IPS or OLED panel, albeit at the cost of shorter battery life. The keyboard feels great to type on and isn't tiring as its scissor switches have a good amount of travel and satisfying tactile feedback. The touchpad is reasonably large for such a compact device, and it tracks all movements and gestures well.

As for the configuration, unless you have an extremely light workload, most people should get at least a Core i5 with 8GB of memory. Going up to 16GB of memory isn't necessary; however, keep in mind that the memory isn't user-upgradeable, so it's better to get more upfront. Unfortunately, you only get two USB-C ports, a microSD card reader, and a headphone jack, but at least both USB-Cs support Thunderbolt 4. Overall, this is a great option for anyone looking for a portable and stylish laptop, and as many people are still working remotely, it's also one of the best laptops for home use.

Wirecutter

The Dell XPS 13 is thin and light, and it has long battery life, a great keyboard, a reliable trackpad, and a spacious screen.

The latest XPS 13 is thin and light, and it offers long battery life, a great keyboard, a reliable trackpad, and a spacious screen.

The best Windows laptop we've tested is the Dell XPS 13 (2021), an ultraportable designed for general productivity like web browsing, text formatting, and video playback. It's sleek, sturdy, and easy to carry around, with enough battery life to get you through a typical eight-hour day of light productivity. You get a sharp and bright display, a keyboard that feels comfortable to type on all day, and a large, responsive touchpad. It has a fingerprint sensor built into the power button and a Windows Hello-compatible IR camera for facial recognition, allowing you to log in quickly and get to work. You can spec it up to an Intel 11th Gen Core i7 CPU, 32GB of memory, and 2TB of storage. The main downside is that it only has two USB-C port/Thunderbolt 4 ports, so you'll likely need dongles or a dock for your wired peripherals or external displays.

If you need more screen space for multitasking, the LG gram 17 (2021) might be a better option. Its 17-inch screen gives you more screen real estate for split-screen multitasking, and due to its larger size, there's enough room on the keyboard deck for a Numpad, which is great for those working with lots of numbers. Yes, you'll need a bigger bag to carry it, but it weighs only 3.1lbs, and you probably won't need the charger because the battery life is outstanding. Plus, it has plenty of ports, so you can leave the dongle life behind.

Dell XPS is my vote. MacBook level build quality with a good range of options to fit your price and performance needs.

EDIT 9/29: thank you all for the responses—I wasn’t expecting so many! After some more consideration, the M1 MacBook Air sounds like it might actually be a better option than a gaming-specific laptop. I’ll wait and see what the M1X release looks like, but for now I’ll stick with an Apple product. Again I appreciate all of the help and suggestions!

Hi all! As the title says, I'm in the market for a new laptop to replace my rapidly aging Macbook Pro 2014 (13-inch). My parents are open to helping me make this purchase, and while they'd be open to a modern Macbook Pro cost, I'd prefer to move away from Apple.

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
$1300 USD

Are you open to refurbs/used?
No

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Honestly not too sure about this one... see below for what I'd want to use it for.

How important is weight and thinness to you?
Relatively important. I'd prefer something powerful but still professional-looking and sleek. I'd like to transport it with me to use in coffee shops, at friends' houses, etc., but I'd want to prioritize something powerful.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
The 13-inch laptop I have is fine by me, but I wouldn't be averse to something larger.

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I'd love to do some basic video editing and photo editing (with something like Gimp for photos). I also want to play games like Stardew Valley on Steam.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
I like to play Stardew Valley and Pokémon RomHacks, so anything that can run up to DS-style graphics smoothly is good by me!

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
I'd prefer no touch-screen (or at least the ability to turn it off). All that really matters is a good keyboard for writing and such as well as drives to plug in devices, backup hard drive, etc.

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
Ultimately I'd like a laptop that will let me play and emulate games, write, make videos and edit photos, and stream YouTube. If it's durable and will last me a while, that's another bonus. 

Apologies for being abstract. I'm not a tech-y person so I'm not really sure about the exact specs I'm looking for. I appreciate any help I can get!


Parents are replacing my Macbook Pro (2014) but I'd prefer to not get another Apple product ($1300 USD, United States)

The laptop I recieved was not capable of the specs that were listed. The build quality was terrible. It was supposed to a Dell xps 13 9310 but it had the look and feel of a Dell 3100 chromebook. There is a $1500 difference in the price between the two models but it seemed like Amazon thought they were the same

 It was supposed to a Dell xps 13 9310 but it had the look and feel of a Dell 3100 chromebook. There is a $1500 difference in the price between the two models but it seemed like Amazon thought they were the same. I would not purchase this laptop unless you want an overpriced chromebook.

Overpriced Dell Chromebook

 Love the keyboard. I'm a mechanical-keyboard type of person, and while I typically hate low-profiles, I liked the keyboard on this laptop enough that it was the decision-making factor when it came down to a few options. Handles smaller games great, professional looking and would recommend to anyone using it for non-webcam related purposes.  Update: Some serious graphical glitches came with this laptop

Love the keyboard, horrible webcam (updated)

 Otherwise it runs cool. I really like that there is no separate place to plug in the charger. It just uses one of the ports and so it can be connected on either side. Really nice laptop overall

 The battery life is very short (4ish hours) and it takes a long time to charge (about 1 1/2 hours). The brick on the cord gets very hot as it charges as does the bottom of the laptop. Otherwise it runs cool. I really like that there is no separate place to plug in the charger

So lightweight!

Laptop seems to be working "ok" as of now besides the WiFi issues everyone has been having and apps like Netflix and Hulu not properly working. Another thing that is concerning is the packaging. I'm pretty sure I was sent a used product considering it came in a cheap cardboard box and not in it's original XPS box/packaging. Also the laptop itself was not even wrapped in any kind of plastic or padding or anything and I am at a military base in Iraq

BEWARE!!!! Paid full price for a new one and received a used one!!!

they want just that laptop and returning it for another brand or other laptops in the Dell lineup just won't do). The vast majority of people seem to be having an issue with just the wobbly track pad, which sucks but it has a relatively simple and effective fix, linked [here](https://youtu.be/Cm-gZL7QXgI). If you have NO OTHER HARDWARE issues with the device, it appears to be not at all worth it to exchange your device for fear that you may get a unit with other defects (I

Read this before returning your XPS 15 or 17

4-inch laptop to the point where it's roughly the same size as an 11.6-inch model and it still has spritely performance and relatively long battery life. Dell added the option to configure the XPS 13 with an OLED display (organic light-emitting diode) that is the cherry on top of this premium little laptop. The display looks stellar and while it hurts battery life some, it's not as horrific as past OLED laptops we've tested

Dell XPS 13 Plus gets a few controversial new features: Hands-on at CES 2022

The line of what i would consider a good laptop for a primary device anyway, let me wrap by saying this. The question: will i keep this laptop? The answer is yes, and if i'm going to keep this laptop for me, which i'm excited about, i certainly can recommend it for you.

After seeing many negative experiences with Dell products, especially XPS laptops, I wanted to share mine. Also shout out to u/figtop1814 because his post encouraged me to do the same. 

I bought this laptop (XPS 13 9310) a little bit more than two weeks ago on the Dell Outlet website. This was a new product, and the price was very great! Great specs (i7-1185, 16 RAM, 1TB SSD) for only abt 1300 after tax (US). I had a Thinkpad Nano, but had to return it because my model had a speaker issue. So far, the laptop works great, and damn it's pretty. I don't have any coil whine or battery issues or dead pixels or wtv and I really love this machine. I guess the only thing I could nitpick on is that the trackpad feels a little bit firm, but that's it. 

So yeah, if you're reading this and you're on the verge of buying an XPS, just do it. There are lemons out there, but it's a small minority of products. And besides, you can always just ask for a replacement or a return. You only have to send in your original model after the replacement arrives, that's what I've been told

Dell XPS 13 is a great device for people looking for a powerful laptop with a good battery life.

So maybe Dell will offer or launch those models later on, but for now, if you're shopping for an ultrabook, this should be on the top of your list or, if you're, someone coming from a basic 400 to 500 or laptop and if you're looking to upgrade to Something like the new XPS 13 you're in for a treat. The only thing really, the only thing that you need to watch out for is lack of i/o, because you're only getting two type-c ports and, if you're willing to bypass that. If you're willing to accept the dongle life by carrying you know one of these, it's I don't have an answer. So on that note, thank you so much for watching.

I mean it's not as good as amd's ryzen based solutions, but at the end of the day, if i take a step back and admire the rest of the hardware, things like this beautiful unibody construction, a fantastic keyboard and trackpad a display that just puts a smile On my face, all those factors just make me want to continue using this thing every day. Obviously i know what some of you guys might be thinking, apple's m1 macbook pros or microsoft. Surface laptops are great alternatives as well, which i don't deny in fact i hope to get my hands on those devices at some point, but for now i think it's time to ditch my razer book 13 for this laptop, because it's compact, it fits my messenger bag.

The laptop has a good design and it is also very lightweight.

Dell XPS 13 is a good option for people looking for a laptop with a good display.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is an excellent business laptop with or without an NVIDIA GPU. The model without an NVIDIA chip is slightly better than the technically more capable ThinkPad T490 in some areas, which pushes its overall rating up to 91% from the 90% that we gave to its MX250-equipped sibling.Among other things, our review unit has better battery life than the ThinkPad T490 with a dedicated GPU. The former runs cooler than the latter too and does not suffer from the same annoying speaker noise that plagued our first test device

Among other things, our review unit has better battery life than the ThinkPad T490 with a dedicated GPU. The former runs cooler than the latter too and does not suffer from the same annoying speaker noise that plagued our first test device. Lenovo largely eliminated this with a BIOS update, so it should not affect any ThinkPad T490 SKU going forwards.Additionally, the Intel version of the T490 does not throttle when stress tested on account of its nominally weaker CPU too
