The 12.5in Razor Blade Stealth, as tested, has large bezels around the screen, but a new version that fits a 13.3in screen in the same body is coming. Verdict: solid performer that undercuts the competition, but comes up short on fit and finish Razer Blade Stealth The finish isnРІР‚в„ўt quite the same as more premium rivals, and while itРІР‚в„ўs thin itРІР‚в„ўs also a little wider, deeper and heavier at 1.34kg. The one area where the Envy 13 is let down most is the build quality, which was spongey in some places on the desk, the lid and the bottom of the laptop. The Envy 13 has plenty of ports on offer, with two USB-A ports, one USB-C, HDMI out, headphones socket and even a microSD card reader.Р”В«attery life under relatively heavy office and image editing duties was about seven hours all in, while the only option for charging the Envy 13 is the included power adapter, which at least is quite small. Performance was about the same as the competition but it struggled a bit more with gaming and had a little more fan noise than the Dell XPS 13. The keyboard is OK, but it suffers from a bit of flex and isnРІР‚в„ўt the most comfortable to use, while the trackpad is accurate but a bit short. The QHD display has fairly large bezels, and isnРІР‚в„ўt quite as good looking as some of the other laptops at higher prices, but its touchscreen is good. The 13in HP Envy has the specifications to rival the best of the rest, including seventh-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, but can be bought for significantly less money even with 1TB of SSD storage. The HP Envy 13 has the specs to match the rest, just not quite the build or design. Verdict: great all-rounder, with only minor niggles made up for by battery life and performance HP Envy 13

The XPS 13 is pretty compact, but slightly thicker at its peak of 15mm than rivals and weighs 1.28kg.

ThereРІР‚в„ўs no Windows Hello camera, which is slightly disappointing, but thereРІР‚в„ўs an option on some models for a fingerprint scanner.

But it also has a Thunderbolt 3 USB-C socket that can double as a charging port too, which means you can charge the Dell with either the included power adapter or any USB-C adapter thatРІР‚в„ўs powerful enough.Р”В«attery life was pretty good, lasting around 8 hours of relatively heavy use - enough for a full work day. The XPS 13 has two USB-A ports, an SD card reader, headphones socket and traditional power plug. (They are only just noticeable over the general hubbub of an open-plan office.) The version with a Core i7 and HD620 graphics as tested was capable of blasting its way through anything from heavy photo editing to even a little bit of light gaming, capable of running XCOM 2 on low settings with the fans going flat out. The keys are well isolated, have good travel, they only have a little play, but are a bit on the small side. The lid and base are metal, the screen all glass and the deck made of carbon fibre that feels like soft-touch black plastic, which does quite well at hiding the dirt and sweat-marks that usually build up with day-long typing. The XPS 13 is a metal and plastic-looking sandwich. ItРІР‚в„ўs available in full HD, but it is the sharp, colourful and simply great QHD+ option that is the draw РІР‚вЂњ itРІР‚в„ўs one of the best 13in screens available on any laptop at the moment. But the best thing about the XPS13 is its so-called infinity screen, which has only small bezels at the top, left and right side.

Like most of the machines here, the XPS 13 has the latest seventh generation Intel Core i5 or i7 РІР‚СљU-seriesРІР‚Сњ processors, Intel HD620 or Iris Plus 640 graphics and your choice of 8 or 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SDD storage. Since becoming a private company and separating from its enterprise arm, Dell has managed to shift itself from a work-machine dullard into a company that makes well designed computers РІР‚вЂњ and the XPS 13 is probably the best. DellРІР‚в„ўs XPS 13 with its infinity display with tiny bezels.
