Design

Avante grade, thy name is Dell XPS 13 PLUS 9320. The laptop is like nothing you’ve ever seen from Dell. First off, the colour. Crafted with CNC-machined aluminium and glass to provide a simple, yet complete sensorial experience – all in a thin, lightweight laptop available in two colours, Platinum or Graphite. The Dell emblem gleams regally in the canter of the lid. The rear of the laptop slopes into a soft incline. Flip the laptop over and you’ll see a pair of rubber feet, a glossy XPS logo, and three pairs of vents on either side. But it’s when you open the notebook that things get really interesting. There’s an edge-to-edge keyboard towards the top of the system. At the very top is a capacitive touch function row that can switch between your usual Function and media keys by pressing the fn and esc keys simultaneously.

Processor

The Core i7-1260P is currently a very popular choice for expensive subnotebooks and the performance potential with its hybrid configuration (4 performance and 8 efficiency cores) is very high. Compared to the old XPS 13 9310 with the Tiger Lake Core i7-1185G7, the performance is about 50 % higher (on average) in the synthetic benchmarks.

Display

The more things change, the more things stay the same. So, while the Dell XPS 13 PLUS 9320 has this radical new look, I’m glad the company kept the four-sided Infinity Edge display with its incredibly slim bezels. Those barely-there bezels allowed Dell to squeeze a 13.4″, 1920 x 1200-pixel, 60Hz FHD+ Touch, Anti-Reflect, 500 nits, display into the incredibly sleek chassis.

Keyboard

The input devices got a major overhaul and the XPS 13 Plus also differs from the regular XPS 13. Dell waives the chiclet keyboard for the Plus model and now uses a more traditional layout without gaps between the individual keys. The manufacturer uses the whole width of the chassis, and the keys are conveniently big. We are also positively surprised by the smooth typing experience with precise feedback, despite the limited key travel (1.0 mm). All in all, this is a good keyboard, and we prefer it to the old one. If you are only used to chiclet keyboards, however, it might take a little time to get used to the layout since it is harder to feel the transition between the keys. The power button is located in the upper right corner and is very narrow, so it does not disturb during typing. It is also a fingerprint scanner.

Audio

Dell uses a new quad-speaker system for the XPS 13 Plus and the quality is better compared to the old XPS 13 9310 and on par with the MacBook Air M1. The sound is very rich and videos or some background music is definitely enjoyable.
