Replace Dell XPS 13

pepp77 · 15 Jul 2019 at 09:07

My work laptop is up for renewal. I currently have a Dell XPS 13 (i5, 8GB RAM, SSD 1080p Screen).

Any recommendations on a replacement, I could get another XPS, but wanted some ideas.

What I want

i7
1080p
SSD
Win Pro
13"/14"

Light as I work out on site a lot.

Cheers

do you have a budget?

No specific budget, but I would guess at about the £1200 the XPS would cost.

This is what I've got and I noticed these are on offer at the moment at £524.98 but over a £1000 in many places, not i7 but the rest of the specs match up.

Yeah noticed that last night. Have asked for the i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SD and touch screen version

I've got the 2019 XPS13, it's a fantastic machine. The 4k display on 13" is utterly overkill but it does look absolutely stunning. A real solid machine and the top i7 model is very powerful for what it is. I think the lack of dedicated graphics is a slight let down but the integrated GPU does a stellar job of normal usage at 4k.
