Dell XPS 13 (9315)

I’m worried that this might just be the absolute best version of an ultraportable, thousand-dollar-range Windows laptop that you can buy on today’s market. It’s a very fine device — but I don’t feel that I can enthusiastically praise it the way reviewers used to. The XPS is no longer what sells the XPS; Windows is what sells the XPS. And I wonder if Dell, or any OEM, will come up with something truly innovative in the next few months that will break that mold. In the meantime, though, please give us a few more ports.

This year's Dell XPS 13 9315 has moved downmarket, leaving the high end for the XPs 13 Plus. That's a good thing, though, as it provides enough computing power for most users and provides excellent value for money.Reasons to buy+Excellent battery...

Overall, the Dell XPS 13 9315 is a pretty impressive ultralight laptop. It's got one of the smallest footprints and weight profiles you can get for a notebook in an all-aluminum chassis. There's also good performance and a nice display at an affordable entry point on tap here.

Dell’s new plan for its long-lauded flagship laptop hasn’t worked, at least not first time out. The XPS 13 Plus implemented some new ideas well, but failed to wow, and, like the regular model, is dragged down by poorer-than-expected performance.
