Colors are bright and vivid, contrast is deep, and picture quality is generally very sharp and detailed.
Naturally, it features a dedicated Copilot key as well as a fingerprint scanner integrated into the power button.

In terms of overall construction, this is one very sturdy laptop in spite of its thin-and-light design.
It’s truly mind-blowing to me how rapidly laptops have improved in the past decade.
General responsiveness and functionality were excellent.
However, in practice, Windows Copilot worked quickly and effectively on the XPS 13.
Intel’s focus on power efficiency and thermal performance for the 2nd-gen Core Ultra chips has clearly paid off.

Dell promised 24-hour battery life, and I’ll be damned if it didn’t deliver.
Should you buy the Dell XPS 13?
4/5
