But Dell’s obsession with creating a super-skinny laptop has seen compromises to both the performance and battery life, making it difficult to justify the high price.

The Dell XPS 13 Plus combines a stunning design with very impressive performance for a laptop this compact. And the OLED display and comfy keyboard are both great. But the short battery life and capacitive function row will give some pause.

The Dell XPS 13 Plus is Dell's attempt at shaking things up, and it’s not a terrible attempt. It’s sleek, lightweight, refined, and features some truly intriguing design choices that put it ahead of even the venerable XPS 13 for style and beauty. However, when it comes to actually using it, the XPS 13 Plus fails to consistently perform to the level of its peers and even has features that serve as major accessibility hurdles.

The XPS 13 Plus is a brave redesign of a firm favourite, and there's a lot to love about it. If you're looking for ultimate power in the slimmest chassis possible, this is the one for you. You'll have to learn to live with some serious compromises, though.

Dell’s second-generation XPS 13 Plus is an ultrabook that puts forms before function - and that doesn’t always pay off. While it looks seriously premium despite its midrange price tag, some poor design choices made in the name of aesthetics still haunt it even though the new processor gives it a decent performance boost.
