What reviewers say

Reviewers agree Lunar Lake gives the XPS 13 much longer battery life and steadier performance with faster graphics, and praise the sleek design and OLED screen option. The Verge and TechRadar still dislike the redesign's edgeless touchpad and touch-sensitive function row and want more than two USB-C ports; The Verge also found the keyboard hard to use and the speakers weak.
