The latest Intel chips see the Dell XPS 13 (9350) ultraportable bow out with ample performance, but familiar ergonomic issues remain.

Pros

Intel Lunar Lake has plenty of desktop and graphics grunt

OLED screen options very easy on the eyes

Still looks undeniably slick

Cons

Touchbar still finnicky to use

Very modest connectivity

Higher-end models are pretty expensive

Introduction

Are we really looking at the last ever XPS? Dell’s long-running line set the trend for lustworthy laptops that ran Windows, and was arguably the closest anyone got to besting Apple for design nous – but there was no room for it in the firm’s 2025 rebrand. Time to find out if the XPS 13 (9350) ends things on a high or not.

I’m being dramatic, of course: the the spirit of XPS will stick around under Dell’s new Dell Premium range, and you’ll be able to buy this particular ultraportable for a long while yet. It only appeared at the tail end of 2024, adding the latest Intel ‘Lunar Lake’ chipsets to a range that until then exclusively used Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite silicon.
