Dell XPS 13 review: a screen to beat Apple

Company's new powerful 13in aluminium ultrabook has a better-than-retina quad HD+ screen with virtually no bezels squeezed into an 11in laptop frame

Dell's latest ultrabook is squarely aimed at Apple's MacBook Pro with a better-than-retina high resolution screen and aluminium body - a Windows MacBook killer.

Since Dell turned private in 2013 it has rekindled its innovative spirit, first with a super-thin tablet with an edge-to-edge display, now with a laptop that is thin, light and practically bezel-less.

Pros: excellent quad HD+ screen, solid build, powerful, good touchpad, touchscreen

Cons: battery life could be better, adaptive brightness can't be turned off, memory not upgradable
