The refreshed XPS 13 (9310) for late 2020 keeps our highest rating yet. Dell has been pushing boundaries for years now with the XPS 13, XPS 15, and XPS 17. These were the first laptops to use the InfinityEdge display with micro bezels, which started a trend amongst all high-end laptops. For 2020, Dell redesigned the XPS 13 (9300), and it now mirrors its convertible sibling, the XPS 13 2-in-1 (7390), one of our highest-rated laptops to date.

Both of those laptops have been refreshed as of October 2020 with Intel's latest 11th Gen Core processors and new Iris Xe graphics. Nothing else substantial has changed. This review is now updated with the latest benchmarks and photos from the XPS 13 (9310) with new recommendations and alternatives.
