But as you'll see when we test the webcam below, there are some tradeoffs for this. The sceen seems to float above the aluminum keyboard deck.
While many of its rivals have gone with thinner bezels, no one has quite caught up to Dell yet in this regard. (My wife, who is more fun than I am, described the laptop as "cute" and liked the color.) The aluminum lid is sparse, featuring only Dell's logo in a reflective shine.ĭell's signature on the XPS 13 is still the InfinityEdge display.
Sky might not be the color I would typically buy, but at least it's something different from the sea of black, silver and gold premium laptops out there. The XPS 13 now comes in two colors: sky (a light, silverish blue) and umber (a dark, burnt red). They're not being waterproofed and size doesn't really seem to be an issue. But while the 3.5 mm headphone jack might be gone on phones, there's still plenty of room for one on laptops, even ones this svelte. Perhaps in three or five (or ten) years, this will feel like the hot take of a crotchety old man.

I've also had my fair share of Bluetooth issues on Windows. I'm one of them! But I have also had them die just before or during a meeting and gone running for a wired backup pair. I'm very aware that many people own and love wireless earbuds or headphones. That being said, Apple has gone even thinner and still managed to fit the headphone jack on its system. Yes, that means there's no headphone jack, though the company does include USB Type-C to 3.5 mm audio and USB-A adapters in the box. While there's some really cool tech on the inside, Dell has eliminated all of the ports beyond two Thunderbolt 4 ports (one on each side). I've gone on the record previously about my thought that Dell may have gone too thin here.
