What is it:
Thin, light laptop with a 13.3-inch, 16:9 display
Typical price:
£799
We like:
Backlit keyboard, 3G web access, good storage options
We don't like:
Chassis gets hot, styling isn't all it could have been
The judgement:
The Dell Studio XPS 13 is a very good laptop. It could have been excellent but Dell seems to have tried too hard in some areas, such as the laptop's design, and we feel it's backfired. Nevertheless, very strong performance, relatively solid build quality and good wireless capabilities mean it's definitely worth a look
