I really wanted to love the new Dell XPS 13, but Dell, we need to have a serious chat about your RAM choices
Positioned as a rival to Apple's new budget-friendly MacBook Neo, the Dell XPS 13 returns for 2026 with an all-new design and lower price point. It's a bold move, and while Dell doesn't quite stick the landing, the end result is still a solid choice of laptop for anyone who prefers Windows over macOS. Battery life and display quality are great, and the all-metal chassis feels durable, if a bit less flashy than previous models. However, it falls down a little when it comes to pricing, and the base configuration is somewhat underpowered, further compounding the price issue.
Pros
- +Thin but sturdy chassis
- +Great display
- +Performance is solid (though unspectacular)
- +Strong battery life
Cons
- -Poor port selection
- -8GB of RAM in base configuration is insufficient
- -Non-US pricing situation is dire
