Cons

  • Body flexes more than older XPS 13s
  • Slow pixel response
  • Very weak graphics
  • Spongy spacebar
  • Limited processor speed
  • Weak graphics
  • NotebookcheckAug 2026

    A light, well-made and affordable Windows laptop with an excellent screen; performance is weak and the 8 GB version is too tight, so buy 16 GB.

  • Tom's HardwareAug 2026

    An excellent Windows rival to the MacBook Neo for students and everyday users; just don't expect much speed.

  • MySmartPriceAug 2026

    An Indian review: the easiest laptop to recommend under Rs 1 lakh this year, as long as you take the 16 GB version.
