![]() Sharp, and Dell recently told Forbes it has exclusivity on these panels until the end of 2015. It's always fun to speculate, but I'll predict that Dell maintains this particular edge over Apple for the near future. ![]() The XPS 13 adheres to Dell's established design language, with machined aluminum and carbon fiber for a premium look and feel. The silver and black theme is unmistakably Dell, but this time a bit more angular and exuding all kinds of sleekness. I did notice that its frame audibly creaks under pressure, but I doubt anyone will be trying to bend the poor laptop under normal use. The thin-and-light laptop space is super competitive, which means the little things hold more weight in the purchase decision-making process. And although I'm enamored with Dell's overall design for their XPS 13, they overlooked something small but significant: the one-finger opening. With a MacBook Air you can open the lid with a single finger. This is enabled by a small indentation on the base underneath the trackpad, and the perfectly balanced amount of resistance, meaning the base of the laptop doesn't lift as you're opening the lid.
