“The Dell XPS 13 9350 is the laptop that made near-borderless screens mainstream. Its 13.3-inch InfinityEdge display sits in a chassis roughly the size of an 11-inch laptop, and the machine-cut aluminium shell with a carbon-fibre palm rest still looks and feels premium years after release.

Under the hood, an Intel Core i5 processor with 4GB of RAM and a 128GB PCIe SSD provides quick, confident performance for demanding multitasking, large documents, photo editing, streaming and long video calls. Weighing about 1.2kg, it is easy to carry everywhere yet solid enough to take the knocks of daily travel.

Connectivity is modern and practical, with USB Type-C/Thunderbolt 3, two USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader and a headphone jack, plus a backlit keyboard and a large glass precision touchpad. For anyone who wants premium build quality and a stunning screen in a truly compact package, the XPS 13 is hard to beat at this price.”
