This is hands down the best laptop ever made. This version specifically with the 1080p display, non-touchscreen version. I bought it brand new from Dell in 2016 and it's still going strong. My one and only complaint is that Dell never got the Thunderbolt (USB-C) port working quite right, so I can't use USB-C display out or some docking stations. Other than that, this laptop truly embodies every desirable trait: Light weight, long battery life, good performance, good screen, backlit keyboard, USB-C port, regular USB ports, full size SD card reader, and no thermal throttling. I've looked at laptops more recently, but can't find anything as good at any cost, let alone for the low $899 I paid for this one!

Dell has unveiled the brand-new 2018 XPS 13, and while it might not look particularly different from previous models – the sleek design and infinity display are still present and correct – there's plenty going on that makes this a major upgrade. i like it..

Even the 9350 has a long battery life but years passed, I am now seeking the replacement battery 90V7W for your XPS13 9350[/url].
Not cost so much but works well is ok.Who need it please email me to discuss.

The QHD+ version review with an i7 shows only an 19 min difference for wifi battery runtimes (http://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-XPS-13-2016-i7-256-GB-QHD-Notebook-Review.155081.0.html). Does this mean the battery life between the two are very similar? Am I missing something? I'm looking at getting on of these so any comments on battery life between the two would be helpful.

This is a horrible laptop. I bought Dell XPS 13 9345 and had horrible time with it. The keyboard has bizarre problem of double typing and unwanted random sequence of characters being typed. I got my keyboard, motherboard replaced 3 times without any solution to my problem. After a lot of back and forth, DELL replaced my old machine with DELL XPS 13 9350.
This machine too has the same keyboard problem but although it is manageable. The machine gets hot quickly and the trackpad is just erratic and unusable. Will never advise anyone to get this.

..and here we are...again. Usual garbage:

The Precision touchpad is also once again excellent, and yet again unchanged from the previous model. To quickly summarize our previous impressions, it's accurate, smooth, sufficiently large, and it features very good integrated buttons. Gestures are once again flawlessly interpreted.

Whoever is wondering about this statement, try just to google Dell XPS 9343 touchpad to see the "excellence" reported by the users across the Globe. 

Advise; i bought this computer. Its screen fails.

I have the i7/16GB/1TB 9350 version and it is a great laptop.  There are however a couple of issues that you need to be aware of.

The battery life is about 5-6 hours with light use. Dell's advertising talks about 14+ hours and this is simply a lie.

I only got the QHD Touch version as this was the only way to get the 1TB drive.  I would seriously recommend getting the normal nin touch version.  The battery life is around 50% higher and the screen almost as good.  Touch is tortally pointless on this machine as you have a touch pad. Once the novelty wears off you will never touch the screen again.

The HD Intel graphic chip/driver has some big issues which mean that the driver crashes several times per day.  It seems to happen more often when connecting to an external monitor.  As of Feb 10, 2015 there is no solution and I am working with Dell to resolve.  You may be better off gettting the newer Iris chip - although it still has to be proven.

A great laptop.  You will love it.

I am choosing between the xps 13 (skylake) and the new asus ux303ub.  It seems the asus has the better value with higher specs and the same price as the xps 13.  But the asus is graded at 85 while the xps13 is graded 89.  Is the xps 13 the better laptop?  Does the better value of the asus still lag behind the xps?  Thx.

There is something i don't understand...
Why all these laptops are coming with only ONE ram slot.. and SOLDERED!?

Where is the dual channel optimisation ?

in the video review you say that idle runtime is about 30 hours for the FHD..  in fact 56 watt divided by1,8 watt per hour is about 30 hours.

in the written review you say only 13 hours


why?

QuoteTo quickly address anyone requesting further testing of the machine, I've already shipped it back to our labs actually.  They may still have it on hand there and if so, they may be able to perform additional tests (such as of this new BIOS for lower NVMe power consumption), however I won't be able to do it personally.

When will update come?

This is a great test and it made me buy this beautiful laptop. So thank you very much. I don't know if you heard, but battery life being not as good as the early-2015 version is mostly because of the SSD consuming too much in light usage. However Dell is going to give a fix through a BIOS update. Are you going to update the review because of that ? Maybe it'll reach 90% haha.

Oops I'm sorry, you already answered that.
