#DELL XPS 13 SPECS SERIES#
I only mention such a graphics-heavy task because it’s the point where the limits start to show.Įvery smart device now requires you to agree to a series of terms and conditions before you can use it - contracts that no one actually reads. I’m aware that running Tomb Raider on this machine is overkill anyone who wants to play that isn’t buying an XPS 13 with integrated graphics as their primary device. It wasn’t just a stuttery experience it was like watching a flip book. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was not playable, stumbling along at an average of 17fps on the lowest settings. Of course, the XPS isn’t a gaming rig by any means. I’m comfortable saying now that if you want to do light gaming, you no longer need to bother with a low-tier MX chip. That’s comparable to the performance we got from last year’s Razer Blade Stealth, which ran an MX150 discrete graphics card. Overwatch was even playable on Ultra settings, hovering in the low 40s with a low of 21. The XPS breezed through League of Legends, averaging frame rates in the low 160s and never dipping below 110, and pulled a consistent 70fps in Rocket League on maximum settings, with a low of 41.

Iris Plus delivered perhaps the best gaming performance I’ve seen from an integrated GPU. But Ice Lake is better for tasks that might leverage a GPU (gaming, photo and video work, etc.) thanks to Iris Plus, its far superior Gen 11 integrated graphics. Extra cores give you an advantage in computational tasks - crunching numbers, compiling code, elaborate things in Excel. This might look like a downgrade on paper, but that actually depends on what you’re trying to do. This XPS has an i7-1065G7, which is an Ice Lake processor - four cores and eight threads. The late 2019 XPS 13 is powered by a Core i7-10710U, which is a Comet Lake chip with six cores and 12 threads. You’re not alone if you’re confused by Intel’s big mess of 10th Gen chips, so here’s the TL DR. I still have some older peripherals I hope to get more use out of - you may not, but a more diverse port selection means neither of us would need a dongle. It’s nice to have USB-C on each side, and I know legacy ports are falling out of fashion, but I’d personally trade one of the Thunderbolts for a built-in USB-A. There are two Thunderbolt 3 ports, a headphone jack, and a microSD slot (and the laptop ships with a USB-A adapter).

And a few extra millimeters makes a big difference I felt like I had more space than I usually do on 16:9 panels, and usually didn’t have to zoom out to comfortably work in two windows side by side.

It’s a lot of pixels - almost a million more than last year’s 1080p panel. The company claims a 91.5 percent screen-to-body ratio. (There’s also a dropped barrel hinge that hides a bit of it below the keyboard deck).ĭell has downsized the top and side bezels as well, resulting in a 16:10 display that’s 6.8 percent larger than that of its predecessor. Dell has shaved a big chunk off the bottom bezel - it’s gone from 19.5mm to 4.6mm. No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you: the 16:9 screen is (finally!) no more. The most noticeable change you’ll see from last year’s XPS is the display. Configurations on Dell’s website currently start at $1,199 - the one I tested is listed for $1,749. The result is a laptop that’s not perfect - but it does most things almost perfectly. Those were easy fixes and Dell corrected them. Last year, it was the small touchpad and the 16:9 screen. Two years ago, it was the god-awful nosecam. It’s figuring out what needs to be fixed and methodically addressing issues without breaking anything else along the way. If there’s one thing Dell is great at, it’s not making sweeping innovations that change what we expect out of a laptop (at least, not with its XPS line).
Every time a new XPS 13 comes out, the question is always the same: is it still the best Windows thin-and-light laptop? I’ll spare you the suspense here: the answer is yes.
