The rectangular keycaps also leave almost no space between one another. The keyboard stretches across the width of the laptop with no gaps at either end. Inside, Dell has highlighted style at the expense of practicality. It’s when you open the laptop up that the design language changes dramatically, though the lack of a lip on the display portion of the laptop makes opening it a bit more tedious. A shame to see so few ports when the laptop’s 0.6-inch thickness and 2.77-pound weight aren’t breaking any records for ultrabooks and are actually up from the weight and thickness of the standard XPS 13 model. That’s it for ports, too-no USB-A to play nice with older peripherals and not even a 3.5mm headphone jack to make do when Windows persists in making Bluetooth devices as unreliable as ever. Even the sides of the laptop aren’t eye-catching, with just a single USB-C (Thunderbolt 4) port on each. “Dell” is printed on the lid and “XPS” is printed on the underside. It’s a very simple slab of pale aluminum (or dark aluminum for the Graphite colored model). When the Dell XPS 13 Plus is shut, there is almost nothing about it that grabs the eye. A radical redesign without radical new features This may not be a dealbreaker for those who don’t have as demanding processing needs, though. Dell’s standard XPS 13 models feature the more traditional design and drop the price down as low as $849, but both configurations feature lower-powered U-series processors with fewer cores and threads, and there’s no option for a 4K OLED display.
