“Dell’s XPS 13 Plus once again tries to set standard for all laptops and largely succeeds, but its battery life and lack of ports don’t inspire.”

The Dell XPS 13 Plus delivers a stunning OLED display, strong performance, and a bold minimalist design. However, its unconventional capacitive function row, missing headphone jack, and average battery life detract from the overall experience.

“Dell’s XPS 13 Plus is one of the best-looking ultrabooks around and offers an enticing OLED screen, but just two Thunderbolt 4 ports and short battery life hold it back.”
