A new, thinner XPS 13 is also coming later this year.

    Replacing the function keys with a capacitive bar was the stupidest thing they have ever done. So silly that even Apple walked back on that design choice.

    Any serious laptop buyer would rule out a laptop just for that. And any casual buyer looking to spend XPS money on a laptop is going to buy a MacBook.

    I’m glad the XPS line is back but unfortunately for Dell Windows is worse than ever.

      When I last bought an XPS 13, there was an option for Ubuntu. I agree that many people will choose a Macbook, but the XPS line has been decent. Perhaps someday they will discover the third OS option.

      My work gave me a Mac with this. I absolutely hated it - constantly triggering random things I didn’t want or need and apparently something about the wiring caused the physical keyboard to fail prematurely.

      Fortunately we’ve moved on from those dark days. I still have to use a Mac, but at least there’s no touch bar.
