Dell XPS 13 (9340) - 2024

The Dell XPS 13 has been a force to reckon with some years, but this isn’t one of them. It’s performance lags behind its cheaper competitors, and it doesn’t lead them in the battery department either. It may be thin and light, but by a narrow margin that doesn’t make up for its shortcomings.

The XPS 13 9340 impresses with its compact size and long runtimes—at least in combination with the base display. However, its meagre connectivity options are a problem and so is the annoying touchbar with its function keys.
