A nippy, highly usable ultrabook that packs mucho screen into not much space.

There is simply no finer thin and light laptop currently available for Windows users than the 2015 iteration of the Dell XPS 13.

If all you want is a fast Windows laptop with a bright screen, and colour accuracy isn’t of prime importance, it’s a fantastic piece of kit. But it isn’t all that we were hoping for.
