Dell XPS 9370 (13.3-Inch, 2018)

Still gorgeous thanks to the InfinityEdge screen ; A bit lighter and slimmer than before ; Supports external GPUs ; Display now supports HDR

You’ll pay for the 4K display in battery life ; No traditional USB ports or full-sized SD card reader

And it's officially hosted in Las Vegas.

Thin and light ; Still attractive, now available in white ; 4K display looks spectacular ; Keyboard feels great

Battery is smaller than before

Centered IR webcam ; Gorgeous new design ; Beautiful optional 4K display ; Impressive performance

Steeper starting price ; White option is pricier ; Still gotta’ move that webcam

Moving the webcam position, adding facial login and a four-mic array, giving Intel’s chips more headroom to perform even better and adding a 4K screen have all evolved the XPS into an even more formidable flagship laptop. In directly addressing the...

It’s interesting that both the XPS 13 and Spectre x360 13t are the last refuge of “good keyboards.” There's no marketing to make you believe that less key travel is better. For most of us (not all), less keyboard travel is like less space on a coach...

Elegant, compact design. Two Thunderbolt 3 ports plus USB-C.

No HDMI or USB Type-A ports. 4K display means shorter battery life than its predecessor. Webcam looks up your nose.

Bottom Line: A new rose gold and white color scheme—well worth an extra $50—makes the Dell XPS 13 a stunning fashion statement, and it's backed by strong performance and a svelte but sturdy build.

Better performance than most Core i7 laptops with just a Core i5 ; Improved keyboard over previous generation XPS 13 ; Tiny foot print

Can be loud at times ; No USB-A port ; Slightly pricey

Fantastically portable ; Excellent performance levels ; Class-leading 4K display ; Comfortable keyboard

Disappointing webcam ; No USB-A ports ; Touchscreen model is susceptible to glare

It barely seems possible but Dell has made its flagship laptop even better by reducing the size and weight, bumping up the processor and packing in a 4K screen. No other Linux laptop compares.

Super compact design ; Great performance ; Comfortable keyboard and trackpad

Middling battery life ; Limited port selection ; Terrible webcam

If you can get over all of that (which, admittedly, is a lot), then the XPS 13 rewards with great performance, a lovely display, and an attractive, very portable package. Had Dell combined those features with the best of the prior generation — namely a...

Attractive design; Vibrant screen; Strong performance; Good battery life overall; Runs cool

No USB Type-A Ports; Improved webcam still looks up your nose

Slimmest XPS 13 ever ; Excellent screen quality ; Great build quality ; 3x USB-C sockets

Shorter battery life than predecessor ; USB-C connections only
