Dell's XPS 13 is one of the best laptops I've tested this year - here's why


Dell's XPS 13 with the Snapdragon X Elite is an ultraportable powerhouse with bold design features.

Armed with the same high-end Snapdragon processor as Samsung's Galaxy Book 4 Edge, this 13-inch, 2.6-pound laptop is a performance powerhouse in a sleek and well-designed form factor with all the hallmarks of XPS's design: the invisible trackpad, the zero-lattice keyboard, and the brilliant display. In my benchmarking, the Dell XPS 13 showed off its multitasking horsepower by running productivity apps and visual tasks with the dual-core boost on board the X1E-80 processor, something the other chips don't have. There's an argument to be made for preferring the Intel version of this year's XPS 13, or the similarly-priced, similarly-sized Lenovo Slim 7x, which features a similar build but more utilitarian design approach.
