Dell XPS 13 XPS13R2-1150sLV 13.3-Inch Ultrabook (Silver Anodized Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this product to replace a 15" MacBook Pro with the primary goal of having an ultra-portable computer with reasonable power and battery life.

The pros:

Fantastic battery life. Running Windows 8, I'd get 6 hours or so. Running Arch Linux, I'd get up to 8.

Speedy. This system is quite fast for being as slim as it is. I definitely couldn't complain about the power.

Attractive. This was the first laptop that wasn't an Apple product that I felt really stood out from a style and build quality standpoint.

The cons:

Backlight bleed.

Backlight bleed.

Horrible backlight bleed.

I ultimately returned this after I couldn't handle the splotchy backlight bleed around the edges of the screen. I went through three systems before finally giving up so it definitely wasn't just a single defective unit. This system will be fine for some users, but if you are a developer and spend much of your time in terminal windows or darkly colored IDEs, the backlight bleed will kill the experience. I have multiple photos of each unit, so I may post at some point.

I can't in good conscience go below three stars since overall, the machine has very solid hardware. That said, I'd probably put this in a 2.5 / 5 category due to the screen. Fantastic screen resolution (1080p) but just couldn't handle the white glow.

I loved this laptop right from the first day. It is a high quality product with a very stylish look. It is very light and at the same time very powerful/super fast.

If you want so: it is like a MacBook Pro in the look of a MacBook Air.

It is also worthwhile noting that the Dell XPS 13 works very well with Ubuntu Linux. All the hardware is properly recognized and even the special keys work.

I wanted a dual boot system that runs Windows and Linux and is just works nearly perfectly for both operating systems.

This is exactly the laptop I wanted and it holds what it promises.

And I cannot get enough of its stylish look. It almost became an intimate relationship.... my Dell XPS laptop an me .... :-)

the only thing is that some times the keyboard no not funtion properly hitting twice or 3 times the same keyboard!!!

also the Windows 8 is the worst ever programs from Microsoft, consider sell it with old Windows 7 or at least to have the oportunity to choose!

I would recomend it!

fast, rapid boot and shut down about 7sec. amazing.

but there is some problem with heat dissipation. The back of the laptop is always hot when large program runs. and the fan runs fast and noise.
