A Detailed Review Of The Dell XPS 13 (2021) Laptop
The 2021 Dell XPS 13 stands out as a high-end, lightweight Windows laptop, succeeding the 2020 Dell XPS 13 9300. It offers options with Intel 11th Gen. Core i3, i5, or i7 processors, along with a maximum of 32GB RAM and 2TB storage.
The laptop features three display choices: an FHD (1920 x 1200) IPS, a 4k (3840 x 2400) IPS, and a 3.5K (3456 x 2160) OLED panel. In terms of connectivity, it includes two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Other notable features comprise a 720p webcam, Wi-Fi 6, and a 52Wh battery.
Ideal for media consumption, the Dell XPS 13 boasts a vibrant display that remains visible even in bright outdoor conditions. Users can opt for a 3.5k OLED or 4k IPS panel for enhanced image quality. The speakers deliver impressive volume, though they lack significant bass or treble extension, making them more suitable for spoken content than music or movies. Despite its compact and portable design, the laptop’s battery life is relatively short, lasting just over five hours during video playback, necessitating the need to carry the charger.
