Dell XPS 13 (2026) Laptop Review

The Dell XPS 13 (2026) is a premium ultraportable Windows laptop that marks the return of Dell's XPS 13 lineup following the company's decision to briefly retire XPS branding in 2025. While it comes in at a lower price point than previous XPS 13 laptops, it has very limited configuration options, including no option for an OLED display, which was available on previous versions. This generation is slightly thinner and lighter, and Dell has restored a physical function row and reintroduced a physical trackpad with a clearly identifiable usable area. It has an IPS 2560 × 1600display, an Intel Core 5 CPU with integrated Intel Graphics, 512GB SSD storage, and memory options for 8GB or 16GB of RAM.
