The Dell XPS 13 was one of the few modern-day laptops to make our list of iconic PCs (see issue 333, p26), so full credit to Dell for daring to mess with the recipe. Admittedly, there is a 2022 update of the plain XPS 13, but it has minor tweaks; the XPS 13 Plus is a complete departure.
The result is one of the most visually stunning laptops around. From the almost invisible glass touchpad to the ultra-thin bezels, this is refinement and beauty that few other laptops come close to. If choosing a laptop was simply a matter of style, it would be a shoe-in for the A List.
