Why we like it
We scored the Dell XPS 13 (9345) 4.5 stars in our review, awarding it a TechRadar Recommends badge.
At the time of launch, we hailed this business laptop as the best of the XPS 13 line, and throughout our tests the ultrabook delivered superb performance, long battery life, with a phenomenal 13.4-inch 3K OLED touchscreen display and build quality to match.
Performance proved impressive throughout our benchmarking, where it capably tackled productivity, conference calls, streaming, and other everyday business tasks with absolute ease.
Design and build is a high-point, as I've come to expect from the premium XPS laptops. It's sleek, svelte, with a high-quality machined (CNC) aluminum chassis.
The bezels around the screen are thin, with a 1080p FHD webcam up top that delivered good quality images during online meetings. Unlike so many laptops for business, sound quality is excellent, with four speakers delivering 360-degree spatial audio and Dolby Atmos.
The keyboard is striking. It features an edge-to-edge design while the touchpad and wrist rest made from Gorilla Glass. Along the top is the touch-based toolbar that, like the touchpad, uses haptic feedback to mimic a physical button press.
Port selection isn't especially generous, though it is future-proofed, featuring two USB 4 Type C ports, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
Dimensions here are 11.62 x 7.84 x 0.58 inches, with a weight of 2.6lbs. The ultra-portable design is well-suited to professionals on business trips - and although I used mine in a desk-based role, it was a delight to carry on the commute.
Should you buy it?
✅ Buy the Dell XPS 13 if...
You or your team need genuine 20-hour battery life, you're a mobile professional who demands a lightweight laptop that weighs in at just 2.6lbs, or you want a gorgeous 3K OLED display.
❌ Skip the Dell XPS 13 if...
You need a lot of built-in ports (this only has two USB-C, so you'll need to connect a dock), or you prefer physical buttons rather than touch-sensitive keys along the toolbar.
Value verdict
The $220 discount is excellent for the high-end specs on this flagship Copilot+ laptop - 32GB DDR5 of memory, 1TB SSD storage, and a 3K OLED display. The bulk buy option for equipping larger teams with 10+ units with a further reduction in price adds even more value.
