Interested buyers can also upgrade to a beefier Intel Core i7-1250U and 1TB of SSD storage, although I'm doubtful how much of a performance gain the Core i7 would offer with the XPS 13 2-in-1's fanless design.

The 14-core processor overwhelms the cooling system, leading to excessive exterior temperatures. Dell's outgoing Dell XPS 13 9310 was a better laptop. It had a better keyboard and touchpad, the same gorgeous OLED display, longer battery life, and wasn't as hot in day-to-day use.
