Hardware Canucks have reviewed the lightweight Dell XPS 13 ultrabook, which features a 13.3-inch 1366x768 display, dual-core/four-thread 1.6-2.3Ghz processor, 4GB of RAM, 128GB SSD and Intel integrated HD 3000 GPU.

Let's see what they had to say:

"The XPS 13 on the other hand can easily last for nearly six hours on a single charge (we actually pushed it to a stunning eight hours while writing this review), comes with one of the cleanest Windows installations we’ve come across in a long time, features a passable backlit keyboard, makes use of a surprisingly good touchpad and won’t burn your lap when used for extended periods of time. From its high strength palm rest to an underside that’s coated in a durable, scratch resistant finish, Dell’s choices here couldn’t have been better and highlight a sensible and well thought out design.

In many ways, Dell’s XPS 13 can be considered the quintessential Ultrabook. It takes all of the high points featured in competitors’ models while ignoring the faults and bundles them into an affordable, appealing package."


The Dell XPS 13 appears to be a excellent blend of portability and performance at price that is fairly reasonable.
