The design and construction of the XPS 13 Plus are hands down the biggest strength of the device. Dell did a fantastic job making the device look stylish and unique, while also keeping that premium, robust feel. When I pulled it out of the box, I was very sure it was an XPS. It ha...
The result is what Microsoft calls a Precision Touchpad and to my surprise, it works well. It handles properly every swipes, taps and most gestures. There’s not a large deal of those supported, but things like two finger zooming and scrolling are there and work alright most of the time....

For better and for worse, the new Dell XPS 14 ($1,699 to start) embodies the same design language as the Dell XPS 13 Plus. It’s a compact, minimalist notebook with a function row of capacitive LED-lit keys and no visible touchpad. Those design elements debuted on the XPS 13 Plus ...
While the touchpad works well, the touch function buttons are less successful. The buttons do double duty as controls for volume, screen brightness, and so forth, with the labels changing to F1, F2, etc, when you press the Function key. You can flip this to have the function keys as de...
The 2.4 x 4.1-inch touchpad is a little small compared to the taller options on some other flagship notebooks, but it gets the job done. It has Windows precision drivers and I had no issues using gestures and navigating the OS. Audio ...
