DELL XPS 13 PLUS

Ten years is a long time in laptops – but some things never change. It’s been a whole decade since Dell unveiled its first XPS 13 and we’ve been besotted by the company’s ultraportables ever since. Well, that doesn’t look like changing with the arrival of the XPS 13 Plus – a beefed-up version that comes with Intel’s new 12th-gen Core chips, a 13.4in screen (3.5K OLED and 4K LCDS are available), a battery that can be charged to 80% in under an hour, and touch-sensitive function keys above its edge-to-edge QWERTY and seamless glass trackpad. The Plus does come with a couple of minuses, though: the headphone port and microsd slot have been ditched. Here’s to another 10 years. £tba / dell.com
