2015 has been a great year for technology. Live launching platforms like the IFA Berlin 2015 gave a positive boost to some of the greatest launches of this year. Everyone has been talking about the high performing hybrid laptops of 2015. These laptops are perfect cross-breed laptops for campus-trotting teens and youngsters, or globe-trotting executives. The hybrid laptops hit the right spot of high performance, brilliant features, and portability. In the age of ultra-books, these heftier and high performing hybrid laptops are the icing to the chocolate cake. The powerful Dell’s  XPS 13 2015 model was one of the best devices of 2015. The 13-inch laptop with the latest Intel chip inside and a higher battery life has been Dell’s one of the finest creations to have been launched in 2015. The aesthetically designed version of XPS 13 hooked the crowd by offering great build, powerful engineering, longer battery life, and all this for an amazing price.

If you missed the XPS 13 review last year, it can be summed up as: High performance, nearly bezel-less and amazing display, comfortable keyboard, well-built, attractive design, plenty of configuration options, and totally worth the money. However some of the features like average battery life, not-so-good touchscreen, and is expensive if you opt for the touchscreen feature. And now let us have a look at the review for the revamped model.

As the predecessor model is one of the best ultrabook of 2015, most of us would think that the update to last year’s model as minor at best, but if you keenly observe the details, you would admit that the update is a worthy one.

The highlights of the update include – replacing 5^th generation Broadwell Intel chip with a more advanced 6^th generation Skylake chip, USB-C implementation and a lot more.

This updated device includes all the good qualities of the best ultrabook of 2015, so that is a good thing to start with. It has the same ultra-thin bezel, eye-catching design and stunning 3200 x 1800 IPS touchscreen, so we can say that the updated device has got all the basics right.

This laptop is slightly smaller than laptops with similar screen sizes, while it’s quite bigger than laptops with same footprint. This smaller size of laptop will give you extra space in your backpack, and your tray table on the airplane. Also it is really light to carry around with 2.7lbs weight without touch and 2.9lbs with touch.

Summing up the Dell XPS 13 review, it can be said that it is the best 13-inch notebook available today. It is available in 3 versions with price $799.99, $1,449.99, and $2,499.99. You can give it a chance, even if you ought to settle for the base model that costs $800.
