All in all, the XPS 13 2019 is an excellent refresh of the previous version. It improved a couple of aspects, such as the webcam placement and a newer processor. The screen is visually pleasing with its thin bezels and vibrant colors, the audio quality is...

This year's Dell XPS 13 isn't all that different from last year's Dell XPS 13 - and that's not a bad thing. However, it feels like any and all improvements here are incremental - and given that a 9th-gen equipped follow-up is all but inevitable, it leaves...

LAS VEGAS: PC MAKER Dell's XPS 13 has long been regarded as one of the best ultraportables on the market, despite one major, glaring flaw: a webcam located underneath the screen that gave a detailed look inside your nose. At this year's CES, Dell has fi...

In our review of 2018's Dell XPS 13, we hailed the laptop as one of the best we'd tested in a long time, criticising only its ill-positioned webcam and lacklustre battery life. Now, with its ideally-mounted webcam and bold claims of all-day battery life...

The 2019 update of the XPS 13 2-in-1 looks very similar to last year’s iteration but it introduces a few key upgrades. For one, Dell has made the move from eighth-generation to tenth-generation Intel processors, so you get the power and performance benefi...
