For a long time, it seems that the design of Windows laptops has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to make significant improvements. However, Dell's best-of-the-line XPS 13 breaks that norm and takes what was already a great laptop to new heights with a series of subtle and smart improvements. The new flagship not only maintains its usual thin and light design, but also introduces two eye-catching new colors that will catch everyone's eye, whether it's at home in the office or on the go.
The XPS 13 is impressively slim, with a thickness of just 055 inches, also weighs only 259 lbs. Of the many laptops I've used, it's undoubtedly the lightest and most compact. While writing during the day and surfing the internet at night, I can easily carry it from room to room without worrying about overburdening me. Compared to the 2021 model, the XPS 13 is thinner and lighter, and the difference is even more obvious when the two computers are placed side by side.
However, it's not just its thin and light design that surprises you. Dell is also introducing two new color options for XPS 13 this year: a stunning amber and a subtle sky blue. Not only are these two colors stylish and unique, but they also stand out from the usual silver and gray laptops and add a pop of color to your office environment. Personally, I particularly like the amber model that the unit is equipped with, with its smooth maroon surface that shines in the sun and is unforgettable.
Of course, a good laptop is not only about great design, but also about practicality and comfort. In this regard, XPS 13 also excels. It continues with one of the best laptop keyboards I've touched before. The keyboard has flexible keys, noticeable feedback, a moderate stroke, and a soft touch to the touch, so you won't get tired of typing for a long time. Compared to the Magic Keyboard on Apple's MacBook, I think the XPS 13's keyboard is superior because its keys are deeper, softer, and better suited to my feel and typing habits.
In terms of display, Dell hasn't made any changes to XPS 13 this year, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have bright spots. On the contrary, I think this 13The 4-inch InfinityEdge display is still one of the best in the laptop market. Its bezels are extremely narrow and almost negligible, and the overall image quality is stable and excellent, giving you a great visual experience whether you're working or playing. I tested the 1920 x 1200 resolution model, and while it isn't as sharp as the optional 4K upscaled version, it's sharp and detailed enough for everyday use.
In terms of color performance, the XPS 13 also excels. Whether admiring the black and yellow ring gear of a professional wrestler or the orange and green colors in 8K Nature on YouTube, it presents a very vivid and realistic color effect. The display's deep blacks and strong contrast make text and images more legible, keeping me comfortable and enjoyable even when using it for long periods of time.
In addition to these benefits, the XPS 13 also offers optional touchscreen functionality. This is a very useful feature for users like me. When I don't want to use the touchpad, I can easily scroll and zoom the web page with just a touch of the screen, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience.
Of course, no product can be perfect. While saving weight, XPS 13 also stripped away some of the useful features of last year's model. In addition, it faces stiff competition from the MacBook Air M2. But in my opinion, none of this is enough to hide how good and brilliant it is. If you're looking for a Windows laptop that's both beautiful and functional, thin and light, and powerful, then Dell XPS 13 is undoubtedly an option worth considering.
All in all, after a week of experience, I am very impressed with the Dell XPS 13. It not only breaks through and innovates in design and color, but also maintains a high level of performance in key components such as keyboards and displays. If you are a user who pursues quality and life, then I believe that this computer will definitely meet your expectations and needs.
