That’s not bad at all for a skinny ultraportable, especially when it comes to multithreaded workloads - that overall figure easily bests the Huawei MateBook Pro X’s 78 and the Galaxy Book Ion’s 72. Hopping straight into our application benchmarks, this bells-and-whistles XPS 13 scored 89 overall, including 76 for the multitasking portion. In any event, the screen will measure 13.4in diagonally and have a 16:10 aspect ratio, which makes it taller and therefore a little better for reading web pages and documents than the more common 16:9.
You can choose to fit your XPS 13 with either a Full HD (1,920 x 1,200) or 4K (3,840 x 2,400) resolution display, in either glossy touchscreen or matte non-touch flavours our review sample was a top-of-the-line model and thus had a 4K touchscreen. Even the integrated left- and right-click buttons have a decisive, substantial response. The trackpad, too, is exceptionally smooth, with a matte-looking but incredibly silky finish that makes swiping and scrolling almost a pleasure in themselves. It’s equipped with a cool white backlight too, which can be dimmed or switched off with the function keys. The fingerprint sensor doesn’t mess up the layout either: there are several comforts of a much larger keyboard here, including a double-height Enter key and comfortably wide Backspace and Shift keys. There’s not much travel depth to each press, but the key switch mechanism feels satisfyingly firm and responsive. In the slimness stakes it’s also more than a match for the 2020 Apple MacBook Air, measuring just 14.8mm at its thickest point, and it weighs a modest 1.27kg.Ĩ Dell XPS 13 (2020) review: Keyboard and Trackpad
This leaves the XPS 13 a very bag-friendly 296mm wide, which is great even by ultraportable standards. This is partly thanks to the new fingerprint sensor-slash-power button, which is now integrated within the keyboard - up next to the Delete key - and not off to the side of it. The new XPS 13 was only ever going to be pleasingly portable, but this time Dell has managed to shave some millimetres off the edges notice how the keyboard now reaches right up to either side, no longer leaving empty space in between. What about this, the new 2020 model? On the inside, it’s adopted Intel’s 10th gen chips, picking up 802.11ax in the process, and unlike the 2019 model, the outside isn’t practically identical to what came before. Dell’s premier ultraportable has gone through several annual updates and every one has been excellent - though the 2019 edition saw the ambitiousness of its upgrades pared back somewhat. For years there’s been a sense that if you’re going to drop a lot of cash on a slim, light Windows laptop, it might as well be on a XPS 13.
