![]() I’m not sure if that’s due to the age, but the palm-rest on my XPS offers gas more friction, while the same surface of the XPS 9370 feels a little nicer. Speaking of interior, our test model comes with the patterned fiber-carbon finish, which actually feels smoother than on my older XPS. I still find the black a better match for my taste, but the white’s interior does a much better job at hiding smudges and finger oil. The overall aesthetics haven’t otherwise changed, but there are now two versions of the available: the silver one with a black fiber-carbon interior, the one we have here and carries on from the previous designs, as well as a new golden model with a white interior. In other words, yes, the is smaller than the XPS 9360/9350, but these differences are so tiny that you’ll hardly notice them even when having the two models side by side, let alone in actual use, as the previous design was already very compact. As far as the height goes, Dell advertises the at only 11.6 mm at the back, in the thicker part, compared to the 15 mm of the XPS 9360, but in reality this is misleading, as this version still sits at about a 17 mm height from the desk when you count the feet and the more convex shape of the underbelly, which is just about 1 mm shorter than the previous build. This 2018-update of the Dell XPS 13 is millimetrically smaller and thinner than the previous generations (302 x 199 vs 304 x 200 mm), which translates in fractions of a mm smaller bezels around the screen. The previous is still available in some regions though, with same-generation hardware and either matte or touch screens, but with a larger battery, full-size IO and lower price. 70 lbs (.24 kg) charger and cables, EU versionīacklit keyboard, HD webcam and IR camera, finger sensor integrated within the power buttonĭell offers the in several different configurations, with 4 to 16 GB of RAM, Core i3 to i7 processors and either a FHD non-touch glossy or the UHD touch screen. There is however more than meets the eye about this laptop, and you’ll find all about its strong points and quirks below. ![]() ![]() It gets updated hardware, keyboard-feedback and a few other extra bits, but at the same time it only relies on a miniaturized IO and has lost about 15% of its battery size. It’s still a premium computer, but with a smaller and lighter build than the previous iterations. In few words, the is one of the most compact 13-inch laptops on the market. We’ll particularly look into how Dell addressed (or not) some of the issues the early adapters complained about. We’re publishing this later than the other reviews out there, so it will tell you what to expect from a more mature version of the XPS 13 9370, the one you’ll get in stores if you’re shopping in the second part of 2018 or later. Doug also talked about his experience with the Dell XPS 9370 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon in this detailed article, if you’re interested in a different view. This article gathers how I feel about this newer generation, what has improved, what has not, and how it fares against the previous design. ![]() Quick forward to 2018, Dell launched an updated model at the beginning of this year, and I’ve finally got to spend some time with it. You can find my initial impressions in this article, as well as my long-term experience with the XPS 13 in this post. I’ve bought a Dell XPS 13 as soon as the compact refresh was initially released back in 2015, and I’ve been using it ever since as my travel laptop.
