The Dell XPS 13 Plus went for a radical redesign that doesn’t make it better.
Dell offers substantial customization options for this model, though. The base configuration running an Intel Core i5-1240P, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD, and a 1,920 x 1,200 non-touch display brings the price down to $1,149. Maxing the configuration out with the same processor we’re testing, 2TB of storage, the same display , 32GB of RAM and Windows 11 Pro tops the system out at $2,249. Dell also offers configurations with an Intel Core i7-1260p.
Inside, Dell has highlighted style at the expense of practicality. The keyboard stretches across the width of the laptop with no gaps at either end. The rectangular keycaps also leave almost no space between one another. It’s visually stunning, until you look closer and can’t unsee the imperfect spacing between keys and uneven heights at the edges of them—those who appreciate meticulous design will struggle here.
The keyboard is a novelty that proves surprisingly usable. I say surprisingly because the elimination of virtually all space between the keys makes it look like it would be a nightmare to use. Resting my fingertips on the keyboard, I do feel an odd sense of uncertainty in their placement. But, once I’m typing away, I’m just about as fast and consistent as I am typing on my daily-driver Asus Zenbook laptop. I consistently hit just over 100 words-per-minute typing with a 93-98% accuracy.
