Professional Reviews
7 reviews from 7 criticsThe Dell XPS 13 (2019) remains a top-tier ultrabook with improved webcam placement, longer battery life, and updated processors. Despite being a minor refresh, it maintains its status as one of the best portable laptops available.
“The Dell XPS 13 is an attractive laptop with strong performance and a bright display, but you shouldn’t get the base configuration.”
“The XPS 13 is every bit the budget winner that the Neo is, even if you might need to spend more than $700.”
The Dell XPS 13 remains a reliable, well-built laptop with solid performance and portability, but it no longer stands out in a crowded market. Its premium price is hard to justify when compared to newer competitors, making it better suited for everyday users than power users.
“Dell's XPS 13 maintains its high style while switching to Qualcomm Snapdragon silicon. It's a reliable performer with decent speeds, but this XPS 13 variant is not the most practical ultraportable choice.”
“The Dell XPS 13 is a good budget laptop, but the crown remains (for now) affixed to the MacBook Neo’s head.”
“If reliable but unexceptional is what you’re after, the Dell XPS 13 will do the job.”
