Features and Design

Blitz through any task

Our most powerful 13-inch XPS laptop is up to twice as powerful as before in the same size.
It features 12th Gen Intel Core processors and the latest battery technology, providing long battery life in a lightweight design—all for a stunning combination of speed, performance and premium mobility. 

Customize your laptop’s performance to suit your needs with the built-in Dell Performance application. Select from four modes - quiet, ultra-performance, cool or optimized. Default optimized mode enables the best balance of performance and thermals. When in ultra-performance mode, your system may run warmer, and fans may be louder. Choosing cool mode will limit temperature or decrease fan noise, which may impact system performance.

These enhanced elements also enable faster interactions, so users can create and maneuver with ease.

Plus, enjoy music and hear video calls with ease, thanks to a new quad speaker design that provides a louder, broader range of sound.

Fast and secure sign-on

A dual sensor camera separates infrared from RGB, helping you look your best, even in low light. Plus, ExpressSign-in paired with Windows Hello streamlines your login experience, detecting your presence—or lack thereof—to quickly and securely sign you in or out of your laptop.

Premium design

The new XPS 13 Plus was crafted with CNC-machined aluminum and glass to provide a simple, yet complete sensorial experience. Interfaces were innovated, tone-on-tone colors were added and a delicate balance was struck—all to improve efficiency and create a laptop that’s thin, lightweight, luxurious and available in two color choices, Platinum or Graphite.

More sustainable than ever

For the first time, the XPS 13 Plus is using low carbon aluminum in the chassis, thereby reducing its carbon footprint. The XPS 13 Plus will also ship in all-new packaging made from 100% recycled or renewable content.

The new XPS 13 Plus developer edition represents the 12th generation system to come out of Project Sputnik. It comes with the option to preload Ubuntu 22.04, meaning it’s perfect for those looking to code on a strikingly elegant, Linux-based system that just works.
