A Detailed Review Of The Dell XPS 13 Plus (2022) Laptop
The Dell XPS 13 Plus (2022) stands out as a high-end ultraportable laptop within Dell’s XPS series. Distinguished from the standard Dell XPS 13 (model 9315), this 9320 model introduces various Intel 12th Gen. P-series CPUs, ranging from the Core i5-1240P to the Core i7-1280P.
With a maximum capacity of 32GB for memory and 2TB for storage, users can choose from different display options, including two FHD (1920 x 1200) panels (with or without touch support), a 3.5K (3456 x 2160) OLED panel, and a 4K (3840 x 2160) panel. The laptop is offered in two colors: Platinum and Graphite.
Despite its premium features, the Dell XPS 13 Plus is not suitable for gaming. It relies on integrated graphics, lacking the power needed for graphically demanding games. Additionally, the Intel 12th Gen. CPU, while generally capable, experiences a notable drop in performance under heavy loads due to overheating. The display is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, exhibits slow response times causing noticeable ghosting, and lacks support for a variable refresh rate to minimize screen tearing. On a positive note, the laptop’s fans operate quietly, and games load swiftly, thanks to its fast SSD.
