Dell XPS 13 Design

Talking about the design, as I said earlier, this laptop looks very premium, it looks such that if someone is sitting nearby and using this laptop, he will definitely ask which laptop is this, it looks quite expensive.
You get to see the Snapdragon X elite branding near the keyboard of the laptop, from below the laptop is completely plane, you get to see the grip rubbers, XPS branding has been done and on the side, you get 2 big speaker grills, along with this you get to see 2 Type-c ports.

Build-Quality

Talking about the build quality, its complete body is made of CNC, the machine of which is aluminum-based i.e. it is completely metal. I have already told you about its looks. For such an expensive laptop, the build quality is bound to be good. This is a very light laptop but still, you can comfortably open its lid with one hand. We do not even see any bubbles on the screen. There is no flex at all in a closed laptop and neither can any flex be felt in the keyboard as it is a very thin laptop, there is not that much space for there to be flex.

Weight

Talking about the weight, the weight of the laptop alone is 1.20 kg, and with the charger, its weight becomes 1.50 kg. It is very easy to carry this laptop with you anywhere, normally you can carry a 1.5 kg laptop comfortably.

Snapdragon® X Elite Processor

Talking about the processor, this laptop is the king of battery backup, so to make it the king, Snapdragon® X Elite X1E-80-100 processor has been installed. This is a 4nm processor, which means it is a very power-efficient processor, especially Snapdragon X Elite.

Snapdragon® X Elite Processor Decode

Let me decode it and tell you once.

• Snapdragon X – This is about the brand.
• 1- This is about its generation like the 14th gen has already come in Intel, in the future we will also get to see 2,3 generations in this.
• E- This is about its tier, which tier processor this is.
• 84 – This is its SKU number, the higher it is, the better it will be.
• 100 – This is reserved like a series, in the coming time we will launch 200, and 300 also.

Snapdragon® X Elite Processor Models

MODELS	Cores	Total Cache	Max Multi-Thread Frequency	Dual Cores Boost	TFLOPS	NPU TOPS	Memory Type	Transfer Rate

X1E-80-100	12	42 MB	3.4 GHz	4.0 GHz	3.8	45	LPDR5x	8448 MT/s
X1E-78-100	12	42 MB	3.4 GHz	NONE	3.8	45	LPDR5x	8448 MT/s

Dell XPS 13 RAM or Storage

We get to see 2 variants in this laptop.

• The first one we get to see has 16 GB RAM with 512 GB storage.
• After this, the second one is a bit more expensive in which we get 32 ​​GB RAM and 1 TB storage.

We get LPDDR5X RAM in this laptop which is very fast RAM. Apart from this, you can install only one SSD in this laptop, there is no separate SD card slot to be seen.

Dell XPS 13 Keyboard

Talking about the keyboard, this laptop has an edge-to-edge keyboard which gives a very premium look. The keys are placed right on the edges. Pressing the keys feels quite premium and expensive.

This is a keyboard with a single color light in which you get to see only white color light. Along with the backspace, you get a very accurate fingerprint button, on top of that we get touch buttons which give a very good response, there are completely display buttons, you can customize them as well, whichever function buttons you want in the touch buttons, you can put them.

Trackpad

In this laptop we get a seamless invisible glass trackpad, at first, you would not be able to guess that there is a trackpad, that is why I will tell you that there is a trackpad from left alt to right alt. You will get support for multiple gestures in this, and it is fully clickable, even if you click on the entire edge it will give a full response.

Actually, it is not a click, hyptic has been used inside it which gives you a click-like feeling.

Dell XPS 13 Display

In this laptop, we get a 13.4-inch OLED anti-reflective display. I will also tell you the meaning of Anti Reflective, many times when you use your phone outdoors and then in excessive light you see things reflecting on the screen, you will not see such a thing in this laptop, but if there is too much glare then it is possible that something may be visible but the chances are very less.

This is a 3K display in which we get to view 2880+1800 resolutions. This is a full-viewing display with very thin bezels. Talking about the color gamut in this, you will get a full flow of colors like 100% P3, 100% sRGB, 94% AdobeRGB, and 92% NTSC. If you do photo editing, video editing, and color grading in this then you will get a very good viewing experience.

Touch Screen Panel

This is a touch display, so you can use it comfortably even without a keyboard or trackpad, but we can open its lid only up to 170 degrees, if you could do it a little more then using the touch screen becomes even easier. This is an anti-smouch panel, your fingerprints will not be required much on this, and you will get to see a very clear screen no matter how much touch you use.

Battery and Charger

You can see a 55Wh battery in this laptop which is a small battery but to keep it thin and light you will have to put a small battery, it has a Snapdragon X Elite processor which is a much more power-efficient CPU. We also did a normal level battery backup test like running Microsoft Word, playing background music, watching some videos on YouTube, switched on many tabs repeatedly, such small things were done a lot, and this laptop gave us 8-9 hours of battery backup.

Charger

One thing that has saddened me a lot is that we did not get a power adapter for this laptop. You can charge it only by using the adapter from your phone or a separate one. It is such an expensive laptop, if they had provided the charger along with it, it would have been better.

Dell XPS 13 Price

If we talk about price, there are 2 variants, I will tell you about their different prices.

16 GB RAM with 512 GB storage – Rs 1,60,500.

32 ​​GB RAM and 1 TB storage – Rs 1,81,000.

Dell XPS 13 Performance

Talking about performance, you can do Coding, Assignments, Office work, Photo Editing, and color grading very smoothly and you will not face any problems in all these tasks. After this, when we did video editing, at first this laptop was running very easily to the normal level but when we put many layers on the 4k video, then it appeared to be lagging in the middle. Mainly this laptop is not for heavy tasks or gaming because it is very thin and light, this laptop gives the performance that you can get in these laptops.

How will the Dell XPS 13 be for gaming?

Talking about gaming, this is not a gaming laptop and neither does this processor support games. I have tried playing normal games on websites but I could not see anything properly in them. So, friends, I will not recommend this laptop for gaming yet.

Dell XPS 13 Overall

Overall, this laptop gives a very premium look, if you want to buy this laptop for work or study then this laptop can be best for you because firstly its look is very good and secondly it is very lightweight and thin and thirdly it provides very good battery backup. I do not recommend this laptop for gaming and heavy productivity, normally you can buy this laptop for any other work.
