Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 (13.4-inch, 2022)

Gorgeous, cutting-edge design ; Bright and vibrant display ; Haptic feedback trackpad feels great ; Light, portable and premium

Battery life is poor ; Very expensive ; Not as fast as rival laptops ; Poor selection of ports

The Dell XPS 13 Plus is a fantastic-looking laptop, flaunting cutting-edge features such as the haptic feedback trackpad and touch panel. But Dell’s obsession with creating a super-skinny laptop has seen compromises to both the performance and battery...

Design is still incredibly sleek and stylish ; Gorgeous OLED touchscreen ; Excellent performance thanks to 13th-gen Intel CPU ; Lightweight but robust

Port selection is very limited ; Touchpad and touch bar still represent an accessibility issue ; Once again, no 1080p webcam

Dell’s second-generation XPS 13 Plus is an ultrabook that puts forms before function - and that doesn’t always pay off. While it looks seriously premium despite its midrange price tag, some poor design choices made in the name of aesthetics still haunt...

Battery life and performance boost from the standard XPS 13 ; Large keys and a hidden touchpad make for comfortable typing and mousing ; Gorgeous OLED screen

Only two Thunderbolt 3 outputs ; No headset socket

The Dell XPS 13 Plus is a premium laptop with a redesigned keyboard, trackpad and interior, making it faster and easier to use. It’s a plus package that’s worth the plus price.

More powerful processor ; Beautiful display ; Comfy keyboard

Senseless touch bar ; Trackpad is borderless ; Still has a 720p webcam ; No headphone jack

Minimalist design ; Extremely high level of fit and finish ; Incredibly powerful for such a thin laptop ; Lovely keyboard and display ; Solid webcam with Windows Hello

Massive lack of ports ; Touch bar can be annoying ; Battery life needs improving ; Gets pretty hot

The XPS 13 Plus is a brave redesign of a firm favourite, and there's a lot to love about it. If you're looking for ultimate power in the slimmest chassis possible, this is the one for you. You'll have to learn to live with some serious compromises,...

Gorgeous design ; Brilliant typing experience ; Excellent OLED display

Mediocre battery life ; Poor port selection ; Gimmicky capacitive function keys

The new XPS 13 Plus model offers a beautiful design, the edge-to-edge keyboard is an absolute triumph, and the OLED display is an eye-bathing treat. It’s not the most practical laptop for serious or power users, however, thanks to underwhelming battery...

Stunning display ; Gorgeous, almost sci-fi looks ; Plenty of CPU muscle for an ultraportable

High-end CPU pumps out heat and is a big battery drain ; Lack of connectivity ; Touchpad takes some getting used to

A swanky step-up for the XPS line-up, but one that’s perhaps a little more niche. It’s powerful, looks the part and has a choice of superb screens, but most will be served just as well by the vanilla XPS 13 – which is considerably cheaper.

Beautiful and lightweight ; Crisp speakers ; Bright display

Gimmicky keyboard controls
