Though the XPS 13 isn’t a 2-in-1 device, Dell says touch remains a popular feature - it certainly helps when scrolling through long web pages with a thumb and quickly tapping pop-up buttons. The third configuration adds touch screen functionality to the mix. The $1,550 touch model: Core i7, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD It’s likely you’ll need additional cloud storage or an external hard drive.Ī touch screen is also not offered on the Core i5 model, which is a loss for those who prefer to have touch screen but don’t need the power of the Core i7. Though speedy transfer speeds and cloud storage have helped reduce the need for a lot of internal storage, being able to bump up to 512GB would’ve been excellent. Unfortunately, you’re still stuck with just a 256GB SSD. All 2020 Dell XPS 13 models have Thunderbolt 3 support, though, and so external graphics is an option. This means you’ll be limited to older games.

Intel does offer an Ice Lake Core i5 with “G4” Iris Plus graphics, but to limit confusion, Dell doesn’t offer that option. The Core i5 model still comes with the basic “G1” integrated graphics. However, if you’re not planning to handle massive Excel spreadsheets, edit high-resolution photos or video, or perform some similarly demanding task, this model will more than meet your needs. It’s powerful enough to handle a wide range of tasks and has enough RAM for multitasking. Overall, this configuration is the best value for most users. To match the four cores, this configuration also offers 8GB of RAM. That doubles your core count to four, which is what most people will want. The primary difference between the base model and the step-up option is the jump to a Core i5 processor. The $1,250 quad-core model: Core i5, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD

We’ll update this story when it’s available again. According to Dell, though, the configuration will return at some point in the future.

Note: This configuration isn’t currently available right now in Dell’s web store. I love the look of the white interior, and the lighter silver used on the lid, but that will come down to your personal preference.

You can make just two changes to the base configuration: An upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for $60, or an upgrade to the “Alpine White” color for $50. The base model’s screen, however, is not a touch screen.

The color gamut is a bit too narrow for professional photographers, but most people will adore this display. This HD+ screen is fantastic, measuring at over 500 nits with super high contrast and great color accuracy. That’s a bit taller than your average screen and you’ll see black bars on the top and bottom of 16:9 videos, but you’ll also be able to view more of a document or webpage at once while multi-tasking with two windows side-by-side is easier. The extra vertical pixels are there to match the extra 0.1 inches of screen space, and unlike previous designs, the new XPS 13 has a 16:10 aspect ratio. It’s an odd resolution if you’re used to 1080p. The base model has an “HD+” display, specifically a 1,900 x 1,200 resolution IPS panel. But it does have multitasking limits, and heavier applications like Photoshop or Premiere won’t perform well. That means it’ll be solid for basic web browsing, word processing, and video-watching. Though it’s the same size as the more powerful models, it has just a dual-core processor and 4GB of RAM. Think of it as an Apple MacBook Air competitor. It comes with a 10th-gen Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. For the new XPS 13, that starts at $1,000.

My best advice? You should always start by considering the base model, and add on features from there. The $1,000 base model: Core i3, 4GB of RAM, 256GB SSD Note: Eventually, you’ll be able to buy the XPS 13 through all your typical retailers, but right now, only Dell’s own digital storefront sells them. I’ve tested hundreds of laptops over the years. However, with configurations that range from $1,000 to over $2,000, you might be left scratching your head about which configuration to buy.
