So, no haptic feedback trackpad, edge-to-edge keyboard, or capacitive touch buttons that replaced the function row. But for the purposes of a sub-$1,000 laptop, this is an excellent display.ĭell has also saved many of more experimental design features for the XPS 13 Plus. Of course, color saturation (AdobeRGB 75%) isn’t wide as the high-resolution OLED models available on the XPS 13 Plus. You can crank it up to 444 nits, which is plenty bright, even if you’re working outside or near a window.
It’s still a 16:10 IPS panel with options for touch or non-touch. The display itself hasn’t changed this time around either. Dell hasn’t bought into the trend toward sharper 1080p webcams, especially not at the expense of its hard-earned top bezel. It does some odd things with colors, and struggles in common video conferencing scenarios, especially if the lighting isn’t perfect. It’ll get by for the occasional Zoom call, but it’s not the most flattering in terms of image quality. Unfortunately, the persistence to keep the look, means it’s still stuck on a tiny 720p webcam housed in the top bezels. As the pioneer of super-thin laptop bezels, Dell’s design remains the most aggressive with its screen-to-body ratio. The super thin bezels are still here, of course. These aren’t standard silver and black, at least.ĭell hasn’t bought into the trend toward sharper 1080p webcams. It all comes together in a color scheme that feels unique. The Sky color is interesting too, since the keycaps are a slightly different color.
I’ll definitely miss the white color option and the unique materials of the old XPS laptops.ĭell now offers the lighter “Sky” color, which is the one I have, and the darker “Umber” model. Like the Plus model, this one is all aluminum, so no more carbon-fiber weave in the palm rests. Taking a look at the design, there are a few notable changes from previous generations of the XPS 13.
