XPS 13

I've had several XPS 13's and an XPS 17. Love them, but my Framework 13 takes the cake and gets the most usage. The new XPS 13's have really frustrating design (e.g. Where does the trackpad begin and end? WTF did Dell do to the function keys???) XPS Pluses Very vibrant IPS screens (I always prefer t

I bought my X1 Carbon Gen 10 in 2023 not because it's the fastest. I travel a lot usually backpacking for months at a time and weight is a very important consideration. It's also sturdy and well built. Good battery life on Linux. At the time my top contenders were X1 or Dell XPS 13. Having Linux ins

Super portability. XPS 13 is a good size, but still a bit large on an Airplane tray when I'm traveling (barely fits).

I have an XPS 13, which is almost the same age, same form factor and a few hundred euros cheaper. It has 16GB of RAM instead of 64, and a consumer-grade Intel CPU.

The closest I could get to the MacBook was the XPS 13 but it was more expensive or the Razer Blade Ste

I’d personally opt for Dell 13 Pro Premium XPS 9360 Max Developer Edition OLED touch so that I could run Linux on it.

This is how the LCD in my older Dell XPS 13 started dying. :(

I can't speak to the 16 as I haven't been hands on with one, but none of those downsides really apply to the 13. My 13 AMD edition has one of the best touchpads I've used on any laptop, reasonable bezels, solid battery life, an excellent screen (I love the 3:2 aspect ratio), a great keyboard, etc. I

For me, it's the whole package of repairability and upgradiablity, along with some feature bonuses that very few other laptops on the market can match. Note that this commentary only applies to the 13 - I have not been hands on with the 16 yet, so I can't speak to that hardware. I initially bought a
