Dell XPS 13 (9350)

Overview

The Dell XPS 13 gets long battery life thanks to Intel's Lunar Lake. While its design is attractive, the touch-based function row is difficult to use as it prioritizes form over function.

The latest Dell XPS 13 brings Intel's Lunar Lake chips to the iconic laptop line, delivering truly all-day battery life and strong performance across the board in a sleek and stylish MacBook-esque design. However, issues with the XPS redesign remain, with its edgeless trackpad and adaptive function bar creating some problems with usability that prevent it from reaching true greatness.

It sports a radical design that makes it hard to use if you're hard of seeing or working in direct light. While it's powerful for its size, it isn't as zippy as you'd want a laptop for this price.

Say what you will about the chassis design of the XPS 13, but the new Lunar Lake CPU has certainly transformed the system into something with more consistent performance and much longer battery life.

The new Dell XPS 13 OLED delivers one of the best viewing experiences and delivers strong performance thanks to Intel's new Lunar Lake chips, all in a compact chassis. Though its battery life isn’t the greatest and some design elements are off-putting, its astonishing display and ultraportable design make up for its flaws.

Assuming you're good with the screen size, the Dell XPS 13 is great for pretty much everyone. It hits those key experiences like keyboard and battery life, and it has a unique design. It's such an easy product to recommend.

The Dell XPS 13 (9350) gets solid performance and graphics from its Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor, along with impressive battery life, impactful speakers, and a vivid Tandem OLED display option.

Dell’s final XPS 13 laptop fixes past issues, but they’re more to do with the Intel Lunar Lake processor inside. The hardware remains flawed and frustrating.

It's no secret that we're fans of the XPS lineup here at ZDNET, and the Dell XPS 13 (9350) is a laptop that I would consider using as a main driver. The bold design elements aren't for everyone, but they contribute to a well-optimized and functional device that isn't just a pretty face.

It’s easy to enthusiastically recommend the XPS 13 in general, especially for the sleek form factor and premium, durable build quality. But it’s difficult to recommend the last-gen Meteor Lake option, and plain irresponsible to recommend the Snapdragon X Elite model. While I appreciate what Qualcomm is doing for the advancement of ARM, there’s no justification for purchasing it when Intel’s Lunar Lake delivers roughly the same marathon battery life, comparable everyday performance, and vastly superior gaming results.
