The Dell XPS 13 series has long held the title for the best PC and remains the top choice for those who prefer Windows over Mac. Although the new XPS 13 Plus lacks a headphone jack and has not yet been tested, it still stands as a well-rounded and stylish Windows laptop.
The XPS 13 Plus maintains its predecessors’ hallmark of a stunning OLED screen with ultra-thin bezels and a spacious and comfortable keyboard. Its updated minimalist design also gives it a more contemporary look. The laptop’s 12th-gen Intel Core processors offer a significant performance boost from the previous models, though the row of capacitive keys at the top instead of traditional function keys might take some getting used to.
If you’re hesitant about the changes made to the XPS 13 Plus, or you require a headphone jack, the previous models still provide a solid option. The Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro series also presents beautiful OLED screens and sharper webcams in thin and lightweight frames. Additionally, Microsoft’s Surface Laptops are great choices, with the most recent edition providing excellent performance and battery life, albeit with an outdated design.
