This year’s model of the Dell XPS 13, the 9315, has been on a bit of a self-improvement kick recently – losing a little weight here, trimming a few millimeters there and generally getting the sort of internal upgrades that keep you up with the Joneses. This new XPS 13 is slightly lighter, smaller and faster than last year's XPS 13 9310.
But it’s more about evolution than revolution, and Dell isn’t offering the first-class features, such as OLED screens that it did before. Those are now reserved for the flagship XPS 13 Plus. You probably won’t miss them, though, and the XPS 13 9315 remains the ultralight model to beat – as well as one of the best laptops out there. Read on to find out why, and learn about how we test products.
