Reviews for the Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 Core i7-1360P
Dell has updated its XPS 13 Plus 9320 this year with 13th gen Raptor Lake CPUs. Other than the name change, however, everything else remains essentially the same as on last year's Core i7-1280P configuration including even processor performance.

So, should you buy the XPS 13 Plus? I'd say yes if you're looking for something that looks out of the ordinary but is also very well constructed. The XPS 13 Plus has the look and feel of a premium ultraportable, but its merely average performance and battery life prevent a stronger recommendation. I also want the haptic touchpad to be more dependable. I liked the look and feel of HP's premium Dragonfly Pro, and the more conventional HP Pavilion Plus 14 offers a well-rounded package and a slightly larger OLED panel. There's also the Asus Zenbook S 13, an even more portable OLED ultraportable with a long runtime.

If you’re looking for something special, the Dell XPS 13 Plus is for you: Its chic case and top display make it an ultrabook that is more than just a work machine for text and spreadsheets. However, the unique streamlined concept is also the sticking point, only if you can cope with it should you opt for the XPS 13. Otherwise, the touchpad frustration in office use will spoil the pleasure of the beautiful design.

The Dell XPS 13 Plus (2023) is a frustrating laptop in many ways. It should be applauded for standing out from the crowd while still getting some basics, like an excellent keyboard and trackpad experience, correct. The 3.5K OLED display is wondrous too. But, the proof is in the pudding, and value-for-money performance is fundamental. The Dell XPS 13 Plus just doesn’t keep up. The LG Gram SuperSlim and Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 both outstrip this device in terms of speed, despite the latter offering a lower-powered chip. Battery life is extremely disappointing too, falling well foul of high-end modern standards. The Dell XPS rethink needs a rethink if it’s going to contend with excellent devices like the MacBook Air M2 once again. Check out our Best Laptop guide for even more options.

The thin and light Dell XPS 13 Plus (2023) looks and feels like a premium laptop, but its elegant design and gorgeous 3.5K OLED display are undercut by a frustrating keyboard, underwhelming performance and bad battery life.

Dell’s second-generation XPS 13 Plus is an ultrabook that puts forms before function - and that doesn’t always pay off. While it looks seriously premium despite its midrange price tag, some poor design choices made in the name of aesthetics still haunt it even though the new processor gives it a decent performance boost.

The Dell XPS 13 Plus is an attractive laptop, even a stunning one when you admire its trim size, glorious high-res OLED touch screen, and seamless palm rest. However, unless you settle for the base IPS screen, this XPS's battery life is sadly just not competitive with other ultraportables, and its lack of ports beyond Thunderbolt is a nuisance, adapters notwithstanding. The Dell earns more points for style than for execution, but the Plus needs more pluses than this for another chance at the top spot.

It’s clear that Dell is onto something special with the XPS 13 Plus. More than any other laptop I’ve reviewed in the past couple of years, this is the one people want to stop me and see. While the standard XPS 13 will likely be the more popular option because of its price and more conventional keyboard and touchpad, the XPS 13 Plus feels less like a wild experiment and more like a gentle nudge to the rest of the industry in a new direction. There are some alternatives to consider, however. The Dell XPS 13 9315 is a good alternative since it’s cheaper and has a more traditional keyboard and touchpad. It’s less powerful with 15-watt U-series CPUS, though, while providing much better battery life.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
