    Pros: +Design, carbon fiber bottom feels great,soft touch rubber for the palm rest is very comfortable.
    +Performance is very fast and snappy, opening multiple web pages and tabs along side editing PDF files while watching an HD video, ran very smooth.

    Cons: -The screen isn't a higher resolution,but I'm not paying a hundred or more dollars just for a high resolution screen.
    -Dell's driver's from their website are crap, don't install them.

    Summary: I spend many many hours researching what Ultra book to buy. I'm a student so that means a lot of moving around campus and a lot of typing. Now that school has pretty much moved online I needed an upgrade from my 4 year old laptop. The XPS 13 offered performance and mobility at a price that was very reasonable. Many sites say the Asus UX-31 is the best Ultra book but in my experience the Asus has a sub par keyboard and while the screen is a higher resolution it didn't look better. I'm a Windows person but that doesn't mean I'm opposed to Apple, they make one hell of a product and I tip my hat to them.

    If anyone has any questions regarding the Dell XPS 13 please comment and I will reply.

    I'm a student as well and I am looking to buy an ultrabook that will last me all 4 years through college. Is the fan noise bothersome? Does it get hot? How about the battery life? I would really appreciate a response. Thanks.
