Dynamite comes in small packages, and precisely what the Dell XPS laptop feels like ─ a tiny, professional device boasting explosive power. Let's discuss why the Dell XPS laptop punches above its weight, from its powerful components to its beautiful design and functionality, making it a lightweight champion in our daily lives.
Under The Hood: Specs & Design
Right from the get-go, our unboxers, Collins “Skarra” Manyame and Ryan “Greybeard” Hogarth, were blown away with the Dell XPS 13 9340 laptop, pointing toward its beautiful, minimalistic clamshell form factor and platinum (also available in graphite) colour. Looking at the packaging, Skarra noted how impressive it was, especially considering the XPS packaging was made with reused materials, and Greybeard was equally impressed.
"We all love our technology, but there is an understanding that we can't just be consuming; it has to be sustainable. Dell has been at the forefront, becoming an important part of their mission ─ to be as sustainable as possible."
– Ryan “Greybeard” Hogarth, MC and gaming content creator.
The Dell XPS 13 weighs only 1.19 kg, making it an extraordinarily lightweight machine capable of completing any task an executive, student, or content creator might throw at it. It boasts 32GB DDR6X RAM, Intel Arc Graphics, 1 TB M.2 PCIe NVMe, and a beautiful 3k, 13.4-inch touchscreen display running at 60hz and a peak brightness of 400 nits. The Dell XPS is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor (up to 4.80 GHz with 16 Cores), unlocking AI possibilities like never before thanks to its built-in Neural Processing Unit. Pointing towards the right-hand side of the Dell XPS laptop, Skarra noticed the Dedicated Windows Copilot button and got excited.
"So Copilot is basically an AI assistant. Dell has been focusing on getting more AI integration into their products, more specifically, the XPS range. I really think that's going to be massive."
– Collins “Skarra” Manyame, TV presenter and streamer.
With its one-button access to Windows Copilot and a fingerprint reader for an added layer of security, the Dell XPS is crafted with CNC aluminium and boasts Gorilla Glass 3, making it strong and durable while remaining lightweight. It is also made of at least 20% recycled, low-carbon aluminium and glass, which makes it even more impressive.
Peak Production: Anywhere, Anytime
With the Dell XPS laptop, you'll never have to slow down or be let down by your hardware. That's precisely what we, as content creators, love about the little beast, as it has enough power for intense video editing.
"Probably the feature that excites me the most is wherever you find yourself, whether you are stuck at the airport, stuck in the hotel room, or stuck in an Uber ─ wherever you are, you are fully productive, fully functioning, on the go."
– Ryan “Greybeard” Hogarth, MC and gaming content creator.
The Dell XPS is perfect for students with a full class schedule or business executives who must attend several meetings in a day. It allows you to effortlessly multitask and connect to multiple devices thanks to two Thunderbolt ports as well as fast Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
"Just the fact that you have such power on the go, especially if you are someone who has to jump from meeting to meeting, and you need to transfer a lot of files, you have an 1 TB M.2 SSD that can do all of that!"
– Collins “Skarra” Manyame, TV presenter and streamer.
With a high-resolution 1080p FHD 2MP webcam, you can rest assured that colleagues or other students will have a clear image of you in meetings, with outstanding low-light capabilities. The AI-powered Dell XPS also excels at keeping the subject in focus and softens up the background for a professional experience. Last but not least, the Dell XPS boasts longer battery life and fast charging capabilities. For example, you can get up to 18 hours of battery life on a single charge streaming your favourite Netflix shows in FHD+ using the Windows 11 app and up to 13 hours running at QHD+ resolutions.
The Bottom Line: Packing A Punch
The Dell XPS is your perfect little companion that packs a powerful punch. With its lightweight, sleek design and an incredible Intel Core Ultra processor, the laptop offers AI at your fingertips, no matter where you are. You'll love the Dell XPS laptop range, with various options for consumers. For us, the Dell XPS fits into our daily lives easily and, importantly, makes work, studies, or content creation while travelling a piece of cake.
