The Dell XPS 13 is designed for the way you actually work

Laptops are supposed to make it easy to work from anywhere. You should be able to close the lid, put it in your bag, and pick up wherever you land next. Too often, though, it doesn’t work that way. A laptop that’s too heavy to carry comfortably or dies by mid-afternoon keeps you tied to a desk and an outlet. The thing that’s meant to go anywhere ends up keeping you in one place.

The new Dell XPS 13, powered by Intel® Core™, was built to work the way you actually do. Its featherlight, razor-thin design goes everywhere without weighing you down, and its long-lasting battery gets you through a full day on a single charge. It’s carved from a single block of metal, so it feels as good as it looks, and its sharp 2.5K screen lets you swipe and zoom through documents like you would on your phone. Whether you spend your day working remotely, building the next big app, or getting through an assignment, here’s why the XPS 13 keeps up.

Working from anywhere only works if the laptop is easy to bring anywhere. A machine that weighs your bag down can become a burden to carry all day. The XPS 13 solves that, as the thinnest and lightest XPS laptop ever made.

At 2.2 pounds and 12.7mm thin, you won’t think twice about carrying it with you, and you won’t feel it on your shoulder by the end of the day. Dell managed it without shrinking the screen, fitting a full-size display in a smaller, lighter frame.

A laptop’s battery determines whether you can keep working through a busy day. The XPS 13 delivers up to 17 hours of streaming battery life, enough to carry you from a morning of meetings to a late-night deadline without looking for an outlet. And it’s quick enough to keep pace, moving through everyday work and heavy multitasking without a hitch.

With a battery that can last, your day is no longer interrupted by the anxiety of a low-battery warning. You don’t have to ration screen brightness or close an application to eke out an extra few minutes of work. Wherever you end up, you can keep going without thinking about where you’ll plug in.

The XPS 13 is built to survive the way you actually use it. Carved from a single block of metal, its body has a durability and premium feel that holds up to daily use.

That single-block construction does more than look good. With no jointed parts and no empty space inside, the frame stays rigid and the gaps between pieces stay tight. It’s the kind of solid feel you notice the first time you pick it up and open the lid. It’s what sets the XPS 13 apart from mass-market laptops that flex and creak after a few months in a bag.

The result is a laptop that feels worth the investment. As the entry point to the XPS family, it carries the same design and craftsmanship as the rest of the line, in the most portable design Dell makes.

The XPS 13 has a 2.5K touchscreen, and Dell’s InfinityEdge design wraps it in thin bezels, so you get a larger screen in a smaller footprint. The extra resolution keeps text crisp, and with 100 percent DCI-P3 color, photos and videos show the full range of color the creator intended.

At 500 nits, the screen stays readable indoors or in bright sunlight. Its refresh rate climbs to 120Hz, so scrolling and video look smooth, then drops when the screen is static to save power and stretch your battery further. Eyesafe technology cuts blue light without dulling the color, which is easier on your eyes during long work days.

And because it’s a touchscreen, you can swipe and zoom the way you already do on your phone. It’s a faster, more direct way to work, so you’re spending less time clicking around.

The XPS is made for everyday work. It’s light enough to take anywhere, provides enough power to last a full day, and features a premium, durable design. It’s also part of Dell’s bigger family. When your work turns to intense creative projects, the XPS 14 and XPS 16 bring more performance and more battery life to match. However you work, there’s an XPS built around you.
