XPS 13

Optimizing a computer means one of two things, getting more performance or more battery life. In terms of a laptop it is usually the latter that takes precedence. After all, there’s no use having a powerful laptop if you cannot take it five yards from a charger. So in this tutorial, I’m going to...

The Top 10 Most Common Issues The Dell XPS 13 has to be one of my favorite laptops of recent times. It’s small, ultra-portable, has decent battery life and plenty of power. What more could you need? Oh wait, I forgot to add the QHD touchscreen and Windows 10! All that said, living with the...

Dell’s XPS (Xtreme Performance System) range of laptops are some of the best around for the money. Designed to go anywhere and do anything, they are sleek, powerful and offer some pretty good specifications for the money. The Skylake version of the XPS 13 was pretty good, but how does the Kaby...

Hey guys, I'm looking at a new utlrabook to go along with a razer core and I am wondering how long until the CPUs become the bottlenecks. I'm debating between the New XPS 13 (w/ i5) and the New Razer Blade Stealth (w/ i7). Both around $999 and releasing this week. FYI the old XPS 13 has been...

Hi everyone, So I was thinking of purchasing a laptop for school but I am unsure of which laptop to buy. I was thinking something along the lines of surface book or surface pro 4. I personally like the 2 in 1 design and was thinking of using the pen that comes with them to write all of my...

Hi, I am looking to purchase an ultrabook, as university classes in my first year start to kick off. I have considered several different laptops through my research over the past few months, but I think it all comes down to the Dell XPS 13 and the Asus Zenbook UX306. I will be taking...

I'm interested in Dell XPS but their pricing for a 256gb version is ridiculous vs. 128gb. I have a 256gb SSD lying around and was curious how easy it is to swap the drive AND to image the original hard drive on the new one? Including ensuring the same Dell Windows license comes across plus all...

Would be getting a pretty good deal on either. XPS 13 (~$1500 CAN): Intel Core i7 6560u 8 GB RAM 256 GB SSD Yoga 900 (~$1300 CAN): Intel Core i7 6500u 16 GB RAM 512 GB SSD I will be using primarily for school. Please don't recommend other laptops, as I've basically settled on these. I just...

I'm looking for a new Dell Xps 13 (latest version) with an i7 processor and 256 GB SSD. I'd prefer a 16 GB memory but 8GB is fine as well. Touch and QHD are not needed (unless no version with the above exists without them). Price as low as possible(Hopefully low 1000's) . No used or refurbished.

Hi all, My laptop (Dell XPS 13 L322X) crashes randomly when on battery power. This is what I've tried so far without any results: - Update the drivers - Update BIOS - Reinstall Windows 10 - Install Ubuntu - Replace the battery with a new one from Dell - Ran a Mem Test and Disk Test, all...

Recently I spilled some water on my XPS 13 ultrabook keyboard. AC adapter was unplugged at the time. Nothing happened immediately, I turned the computer off, tried as best I could to drain it upside down. A few hours later I was able to take it apart, wipe down some water off the battery...

I have a Dell XPS 13 9350 and can't get Dell's driver to install. I always get a fatal error message. In Device Manager I see a Management Engine Interface entry though. I've given up trying to figure out how to get the Dell software to install. I've seen that there are two versions of the...

I'm looking for a ultrabook for around $1000, I've heard great things about the Dell XPS 13 but I guess is there a better option for the money?

I have the 2015 Dell XPS 13. A few days ago, I spilled some water on the keyboard (laptop was not plugged in at the time). Nothing seemed to happen immediately at the time of the spill, so I turned it off. The battery is not accessible from the outside, and I didn't have a Torx screwdriver...

Thanks very much for the help.

I have a Dell XPS 13 9350, and I love everything about it other than the fact that it tends to overheat whenever I try to do anything particularly intense with it, such as gaming or emulation. I'd like to get a laptop cooling pad in order to avoid or reduce the thermal throttling that comes with...

I would like to get the laptop that has the best value and best performance. It would mostly be used for school and some light gaming on the side. I'm looking to spend around $800. Thanks!

Hey all. So I bought a Dell XPS 13 (2015, model 9343) off of Craigslist this weekend. The trackpad doesn't work (which I knew), so the seller let it go at a deep discount. I work in IT, so I figured it was nothing a few driver updates or firmware upgrades couldn't fix. Turns out I was wrong. :)...

Hi! What are some ways I can keep a new laptop (XPS 13) running fast? I want to have this laptop for a while and want to take care of it. I don't game too much, but I still want to preserve its performance so I can enjoy my machine for a long time. :) Cheers! -Miles

Hi All, My XPS 13 L322X is having an unusual issue. When I boot up, I hear 8 beeps (which I know should be LCD failure). But the screen is not blank. I see a double image of the bios screen, as shown below. I can access the boot menu at f12, but that dispaly is also split. My...

The new Dell XPS 15 and 13 laptops look amazing. HOWEVER, in Europe the customization options are quite limited, meaning that some people are forced into either waiting or buying a setup that they don't need/want. For example, I would love to buy the XPS 15 with FHD (non-touchscreen), the...
