Dell XPS XPS13-7000sLV 13-Inch Ultrabook (Silver)

Dell XPS XPS13-7000sLV 13-Inch UltrabookI have been on a quest to find the perfect laptop for over two months. I have tried out the Asus zenbook, Lenovo u310, Acer Aspire S3, and of course here I am with this gem. All of the ones I tried had the 13.3 inch screen. None of them hold a candle to the size, feel of the Dell xps13. They all felt bulky, and cheap. I would have to say the Asus zenbook was closest, but even at that this one wins hands down.

Keyboard This is the most comfortable keyboard I have used. Chicklet keys (that light up!) they are not square and flat like most, they are almost contoured and have a very soft yet responsive feel to them. The are most like the lenovo keyboard but better. Asus, Acer and even the macbook.

Screen Very nice, of course could be a bit better (not the highest resolution, but does the job) The screen is the perfect size, I have had 12 and that is just too small, while 14 is too large.

Performance I do a lot of word, powerpoint, video, music and surfing. No games. For what I use it for, it is perfect

Battery The life is great not the best at 7 hours, but I can get 4 hours out of it.

Overall Again, I cannot think of a better laptop. the size is really what gets me. It has the same size screen and keyboard as the compition but has a better fell and look than any other laptop on the market. Yes, even apple.

BUY THIS! Make sure to get the 256g because the smaller size is almost full from all of the factory software.

I love the size, weight and styling but had to send it back. In the 10 days I had it, I experienced 2 blue screens, several messages stating that the battery was not supported. On day 3 the display went dark. I turned it back on for one last look before I returned it and voila the screen lit up again so I gave it another chance. Unfortunately the next time it went dark in the middle of a project it did not come back on. Did not like the touchpad, very finnicky. Don't understand why it does not have an HDMI port. WiFi was not as strong as my old Inspiron. Very disappointed.

I am editing this review just to add some more facts.

Looks are attracting everyone around. This is by far very good one looks.

Battery lasts long as per description. I feel so empowered( especially after owning vaio which lasted less than 30 mins).

Start up time is less than 15 secs.

tracker is little tardy.

Black paint on key board is scratch prone. so be careful.

earlier reeview

As for as looks and weight, it beats mac airbook.

it is more sturdy and sleek than mac airbook.

258 GB SSD and 4GB RAM makes it business friendly.

keyboard is back lit and looks great.

keys are comfortable but need some time get used.

Looks are gorgeous.

What it lacks

1) cannot connect to projector

2) HDMI slot is non standard

3) SD card slot also is not there.

amazon delivery time as promised in less than 2 days. Infact most of the items i ordered got delivered in 2 days

all above are severe constraints. Hope to find solutions for above.

2 times in matter of 3 days , it got shutdown on its own from sleep. I am just hoping it was one of thing.

Track pad is slightly rusty.
