Late 2015, Skylake Core i5
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the dell laptop battery
When you already have one of the best-regarded laptops of the year, as Dell does with its latest-generation XPS 13, you probably aren't in a rush to make major changes. (We reviewed it earlier in 2015 and gave it an Editors' Choice high-five then; check out our earlier review.)
And indeed, with the company's latest XPS 13 refresh (also referred to, more specifically, as the "Dell XPS 13 9350"), the additions are mostly internal. The company has incorporated Intel's latest Core i-series processors (the 6th-Generation "Skylake" family), opted for speedy PCI Express-based solid-state storage (in all but the entry-level $799 model, which uses a Serial ATA-based SSD), and bumped up the battery with like dell 3117J battery, Dell 8K1VG Battery, Dell Alienware M11x Battery, Dell Alienware M14x Battery, Dell PT6V8 Battery, Dell R7PND Battery, Dell PG6RC Battery, Dell Precision M4400 Battery, Dell Precision M4600 Battery, Dell Latitude E5420 Battery, Dell Latitude E5220 Battery, Dell Latitude E6420 Batterycapacity slightly, from 52 watt-hours to 56.
On the outside, this laptop looks nearly identical to its early-2015 counterpart—which is a good thing, given how much there is to like about this aluminum-and-carbon-fiber PC. It's fairly light (2.7 to 2.9 pounds, depending whether or not you opt for a touchscreen) and thin (just 0.6 inch thick). The slim-bezel screen, which Dell calls an "Infinity Display," remains here as well, allowing Dell to jam a 13.3-inch screen into a frame that's similar in size to Apple's 11-inch MacBook Air.
The biggest external addition with this late-2015 refresh of the XPS 2015 is the inclusion of a reversible, future-looking Thunderbolt 3 port, which supports speeds up to 40Gbps (as well as the USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard and DisplayPort 1.2). This multifaceted port won't be of much use to most users until the standard becomes more common, but this machine's very latest-gen CPU and the battery bump gave it enough endurance to last well past 10 hours in our video-rundown test. In addition, the level of fan noise seems to be much reduced in this newer model.
If a great, state-of-the-art traditional laptop is what you're after, Dell's XPS 13 remains one of the best you can buy running Windows. Just note that, like on the last-generation model, the Webcam is still awkwardly placed, down near the laptop's hinge. (You'll want to find something to prop up the laptop on before making Skype calls—or at least make sure your nose hairs are tastefully trimmed.) Beyond that, though, we found very little to quibble about on this glorious machine, this side of a 13-inch Apple MacBook Air.
