Kaby Lake-R has arrived to replace Kaby Lake in the mobile CPU segment. Dell has renamed their award-winning XPS 13 to New XPS 13. While the original XPS 13 uses a dual-core 7th generation mobile processor with a maximum Turbo of 3.1GHz and base of 2.5GHz...
The New XPS 13 Touch is beautiful, well built, and performs stunningly. In regards to things I didn't like, while the camera placement tops the list, I also didn't care for the fan spinning up so often (even during Windows Update) or for the glare from th...

The XPS 13 retains its crown as the undisputed champion of the Ultrabook market, and one can only admire Dell for its unwavering Linux support on a flagship machine. Don't be misled by the name – it's not just for developers, and can happily play less-dem...

If you are looking at buying a new Ultrabook, it is very likely you have already considered the Dell XPS 13. The latest model – the XPS 13 9360 – features brand-new Kaby Lake hardware as well as an ultra-thin body. The super-thin screen bezel is also wor...

All-in-all, the Dell XPS 13 (9360) is a good Ultrabook, but it is not without its problems.To start with the good aspects of the XPS 13 though – the build quality is excellent thanks to the aluminium chassis. Dell have also done a great job at reducing th...

This powerful, i7-based version of the XPS 13 is more expensive, but faster than what we used when testing. It has the same amount of RAM and SSD storage, but its better, sharper QHD+ touchscreen and fast i7 chip are both nicer than what we used. That sa...

In this class of notebook, every inch and ounce count. While I'm impressed that the XPS 13 squeezes a 13.3-in. system into a case the size of a 12.5-in. system, its thick rear and 2.8-lb. weight are of concern. I love the inclusion of Thunderbolt 3, a backlit keyboard and a physical battery gauge, but its oddly placed webcam is a real setback for me...

A strange thing happened at a recent meeting. I sat down, took out the new Dell XPS 13, and sat back as everyone else did the same. They, too, had the XPS 13. Only one person sat behind an aging MacBook Pro 15, the Apple logo glowing like a lone streetlig...

We can all agree that Dell's latest XPS 13 with Kaby Lake is an incremental update. But when your ultrabook is the one that's being copied by everyone, that's not such a bad thing, is it?Externally, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the...
