In terms of design, the Dell XPS 13 comes with a comfortable keyboard with bright backlighting, as well as a high-quality trackpad that doesn't have the wobble or looseness often found in inferior laptops. Other features include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and a battery that lasts for up to 14 hours. The Dell XPS 13's display is a showstopper as well, featuring superb color accuracy, up to 500 nits of peak brightness, an incredibly effective anti-reflective coating, and options for HD, 3.5K, and 4K UHD resolutions. The device also comes with Intel's impressive Xe integrated graphics, up to 32GB of memory, and up to 1TB of SSD storage (there's a microSD slot, too). You can configure it with the fantastic Intel Core i7-1250U, which is one of the best processors in Intel's 12th Gen Mobile CPU lineup. The classic Dell XPS 13 represents the pinnacle of what a traditional-style laptop can be, pairing some of the best Ultrabook-class specs available with an industry-leading design. Battery life unfortunately falls a little short compared to some other devices, as you'll get between 5-8 hours with one of the higher resolution options (expect more with the FHD screen). The FHD option is ideal for folks who want to maximize battery life, while 3.5K and 4K UHD are for people who want the best visual quality. Each screen has a peak brightness of 500 nits, an anti-glare coating, and an amazing color gamut. You also get Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, as well as the choice between an FHD panel, a 3.5K one, or a jaw-dropping 4K UHD display. You also get Intel's excellent Xe graphics, up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and up to 2TB of SSD storage space. The mighty 12th Gen i7-1270P and i7-1280P CPUs are available here, which are Intel's most powerful laptop CPUs on the market aside from the power-hungry chips in the H-Series that are typically reserved for workstations and gaming laptops. Sporting superb specs, a stellar new chassis design, and the same phenomenal display that folks love with the regular XPS 13, the Plus sits comfortably at the top of the Core i7 hill. Dell's traditional XPS 13 has widely been considered the best Ultrabook on the market for several years, but the bold new Dell XPS 13 Plus is arguably an even better laptop.
