Dell XPS 13 9300

Strengths

Dell has been on a roll lately listening to reviewers and improving issues we complained about
The main benefit is that it's much more efficient so you're getting more performance while using less power and staying cooler than before
The build quality is better than it's ever been since they're using more metal which results in a really premium and solid aluminum chassis
The display is using a 16 by 10 aspect ratio just like the XPS 2 & 1 which adds more vertical space which is really helpful on a 13-inch display
It has higher than 4k resolution and great color accuracy and now 500 nits of brightness
The keyboard is no longer recessed into the casing and basically covers the full width of the laptop and it now looks incredibly clean
The speakers have been improved to two and a half watts per speaker, making them loud enough and with above average sound quality
The SSD is user replaceable which is impressive in a laptop so small
It has top line Wi-Fi six reception
