Dell XPS 13 Copilot+ review: A capable AI PC, but Windows on Arm issues remain

The XPS 13 is a capable and stylish Copilot+ PC, but it’s still slower than the Intel model at times and doesn’t run some games and apps. Battery life is also surprisingly average.

But with that mobile-focused hardware comes new expectations: More battery efficiency than Intel's x86 chips, as well dramatically faster AI capabilities thanks to its beefier NPU (neural processing unit). That's partially why Microsoft kicked off the Copilot+ program to begin with, since it requires system makers to include at least 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and an NPU with at least 40 TOPS (tera-ops per second) of AI performance. Cons Windows on Arm still runs some apps slowly and fails to launch some games Current AI features are fairly middling Average battery life Contentious trackpad and capacitive function buttons
