Dell's ultrabook gets a passing grade. The touch pad is immensely frustrating, the battery life could be better and the software package needs work. It's built well, but one obvious thing remains; there are better choices out there on the...

There's no doubt the Dell XPS 13 is a beautiful laptop. Its carbon fibre base and Gorilla Glass components not only look good, they give the laptop plenty of strength. Furthermore, the XPS 13 is a fast unit thanks to its Core i7 CPU and 256GB SSD....
