Dell’s laptop handled my daily multitasking workload without so much as a stutter, whether I was bouncing between well over a dozen Chrome tabs during a Hangouts call or jumping between Slack and Discord chats while writing in GDocs.

Common Windows 10 gestures, such as swiping up with three fingers to enter multitasking mode or sliding left to switch apps, worked like a breeze. The XPS 13’ touchpad is 17% larger than that of last year’s model, and the extra real estate made it easy to scroll up and down Google Docs or pinch to zoom into web pages without any friction. I blazed through the 10fastfingers typing test at 94 words per minute (roughly my norm) with 95% accuracy, and not once did I cramp up while rapidly crunching on the keys. This is complemented by the laptop’s textured, soft wrist rest, which made it easy to hammer away at documents for hours at a time. The XPS 13’s nearly edge-to-edge keyboard is a joy to type on, thanks to satisfying, snappy feedback and a soft-touch coating that keeps things extra comfortable. I’ve been using the XPS 13 as one of my primary work machines for the better part of a week, and thanks to the notebook’s keyboard, I have no desire to stop any time soon. The XPS 13’s speakers were perfectly serviceable for conference calls and movies, but serious music junkies will want to have a pair of the best headphones handy when it’s time to rock out.
But things still sounded too muffled for my liking once I turned the volume up. The more subdued indie pop of Beach Bunny’s “Dream Boy” fared a little better, as the song’s breezy guitars and bright vocals managed to stand out in the mix. The crunchy guitar riffs of Four Year Strong’s “Crazy Pills” sounded muddy and blown out at max volume, though I was impressed at the amount of bass that came through the laptop’s small speakers. The XPS 13’s stereo speakers get plenty loud, but provide mixed results when it comes to audio quality.

However, the 4K model is notably dimmer than both the 1080p version and the competition, producing just 301 nits. The 1080p configuration of the XPS 13 turned in an impressive average brightness of 417 nits in our labs, outshining both the MacBook Air (386 nits) and the Dragonfly (373 nits). Dell’s lab reproduced 107.5 percent of the sRGB color gamut, which puts it in the same ballpark as the new MacBook Air 2020 (113%) and the HP Elite Dragonfly (117%). The impressive color and brightness I saw while doing work and watching movies was largely backed up by our lab tests.

However, I also noticed that the XPS 13’s screen is a bit glossy - I saw both my own reflection as well as a few fingerprints near the top of the display when watching the movie in a sunny room. Special effects like Iron Man’s orange repulsor blasts or the bright blue thunder of Thor’s hammer bursted with color, and I could make out every little crease, scar and piece of stubble on Thanos’ giant purple face. The XPS 13 is also a great machine for watching movies, as I learned while rewatching the epic final battle of Avengers: Endgame (and trying not to cry at that Captain America scene).
The XPS 13’s touchscreen was handy for quickly hopping between chat conversations and Chrome tabs, and pinching to zoom into web pages was a snap. I especially love the screen’s deep blacks, which gave text in applications like Slack and Google Docs a distinct, inky boldness that made things very easy to read. With an engrossing screen-to-body ratio of 91.5%, our XPS 13’s 1920 x 1200 display made everything from movies and TV shows to work documents pop with color and detail.

And now that Apple has finally launched the MacBook Pro 2020 (13-inch) with a revamped Magic Keyboard and some seriously impressive specs, Dell's flagship laptop has stiffer competition than ever. Dell XPS 13 (9300) at Dell for $949.99 (opens in new tab)Īs with previous models, the new Dell XPS 13’s svelte design comes at the expense of ports, and you’ll be sacrificing a lot of battery life if you opt for the 4K model.
