I’ve enjoyed my time with the Dell XPS 13 Plus so far. Not only is it a solid design with premium build quality and nice looks, it also has an easy keyboard to type on and an intuitive and yet invisible trackpad. And let’s not forget the great-looking OLED screen. All for a r...
When you open up the XPS 13 Plus, the first thing you’ll likely notice is that there doesn’t appear to be a touchpad — there’s just a seamless strip of glass below the keyboard deck. Now, there is actually a capacitive touch trackpad in the area where you’d expect it to be;...
I have no major issues with the XPS 13's trackpad, but I have seen others complain about it more than I would expect. That may come down to a combination of personal preference (people don't like the soft-touch paint feel) and production issues (the rattle). While I think Dell could...
Keyboard and trackpad The XPS 9370 gets the same keyboard/clickpad design as the original model released in 2015, but their feedback has been tweaked over the years. The keys, for instance, are not as mushy and as soft as on my older XPS, so the average user should get along a little...
If the XPS 13 is a little too small, but you don't want a 16-inch device, the XPS 14 is a solid middle-ground option with the same level of performance. The XPS 14 with the Intel Core Ultra 7 is as fast as it is stylish, with the iconic invisible track...
, but there's also new mini-LED backlighting that can reduce power consumption by 75% and extend battery life by three hours. The trackpad is now 18% larger than last year, but, more importantly, it's now a haptic trackpad, like the one you see on a MacBook or the XPS 13 Plus...
Track Pad I am not a big fan of the trackpad mouse tech on laptops. But I personally like the trackpads in the Apple MacBook. But this one has succeeded to amuse me in a broader perspective. The touchpad is pretty responsive, and the smart gestures did a pretty good job. ...
Similarly, the Windows Precision trackpad is smooth and easy to use for Windows 10’s various gesture controls. Despite being smaller than ever, the XPS 13 is no slouch when it comes to performance. It has eighth-generation Core i5 or i7 processor options, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to...
The Dell XPS 13 — a long-time Laptop Mag favorite. We've reviewed many configurations over the years, and each stood out for various reasons. Though I'd describe its new, minimalist design with a "touch bar" and "invisible" trackpad among reviewers as a love/hate relationship, we adore...
Overall, Dell has created a great design in the XPS 13. It keeps with some of the Dell traditional designs, but the sharper edges and smaller radius corners contribute to an overall better look. That coupled with the premium feel of the materials, the good keyboard and trackpad, and the ...
