Great ultrabook, but very costly.Brief: Sharing my feel and experience about Dell XPS 13 Kaby Lake Ubuntu edition after using it for over three months.ĭuring Black Friday sale last year, I took the bullet and ordered myself a Dell XPS 13 with the new Intel Kaby Lake processor. Yes, we would have loved pinch and zoom in the trackpad and at least one more USB port. Overall the XPS 13 is one of the best Ultrabooks that we have tried. For security, there is a fast access facial recognition which will open up only when faced with the owner's mug. And at the end of all this, the device still manages to remain cool. ![]() On a full charge the XPS 13 is ready for at least six hours of heavy duty use. This Ultrabook took exactly 14 seconds to start up and under three seconds from sleep. We doubt if we have tested a louder, distoritionless 13-inch laptop, thanks to the Waves MaxxAudio speakers. However, you might have some trouble finding the right angle if you switch off the lights. Despite the glass, the HD screen does not reflect ambient light. The screen is edge-to-edge bonded Corning Gorilla Glass, which when not powered gives you the impression of looking into a tinted screen. But the killer feature is the backlight which comes on as you touch a key or trackpad and sleeps if there is no activity. The trackpad, however, is a bit too smooth and lacks grip. In fact, the rubber finish of the palm rest really makes it easy to type for long hours. There is just enough travel in the keys, which are not at all plasticky. ![]() We doubt if many others have a keyboard that is good to use. Open the lid and all-black interiors stare at you. And it is pretty lightweight at just 1.36 kg. We said fatter than the Ultrabook, but still the XPS 13 is just 18 mm at its thickest point. And, the carbon fiber base is something the others should also been looking to adopt. Though it is slightly fatter, the curved silver-grey metal body that will remind you of the Macbook Air. It tries to stick to the Intel standard almost to the last letter. ![]() No one has to tell you that the Dell XPS 13 is an Ultrabook.
