The Dell XPS line has been in the higher segment for years and we see that with this XPS 13 9310.

The laptop is made of an aluminum chassis, which in practice feels more durable than other materials. The beating heart consists of the latest generation Intel Core i7 processor, with which you get a future-proof version. Furthermore, it is equipped with a touchscreen, on which Windows 11 comes into its own.

Microsoft has made adjustments to the user environment for Windows 11, specifically aimed at the combination with touch-sensitive screens (and tablets): for example, screen elements have been placed further apart, so that you tap the wrong option less often with your finger.

The touchscreen is protected by Gorilla Glass 6, which is also used for phones. The screen has a hefty 500 nits brightness and the signature Dell InfinityEdge design with minimal bezels all around.

It is nice that no concessions have been made in terms of connections, despite the flat and light design. For example, we find the headphone jack on the XPS 13 laptop neatly back, just like 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports and a micro-SD card slot.
