If you’re carrying a laptop around the globe, you know that every inch and every pound count. They Shrunk the Best of a Laptop to Make the Dell XPS 13 We reviewed the original Dell XPS 13 a few years ago, and at the time it was one of our top picks, so I was eager to give the brand new model a go. I’ll be comparing it to the brand new Dell XPS 13 I’ve been using for the past couple of weeks. In fact, it’s been around so much in the past year that it should probably have its own passport and NEXUS pass, and hiking boots. I’ve been working with an Asus UX302 Ultrabook for the past year which, I must say, at 3.1lbs (1.5kg) and 18mm thin has been pretty great for travel. Lightweight, battery life for the work day, and now enough features built in that you don’t need to carry a bag full of dongles to make it all work (like the recently announced Macbook). There have always been trade-offs when it comes to making the perfect travel laptop for the traveler and digital nomad crowd.
