I have this same model from 5 years ago (still working fine). The 4k screen on this small screen is not a great fit. some older apps that doesn't support 4k well are going to end up displaying tiny texts that you can't read.
i suggest a full hd screen on the XPS 13.

Edit: sorry, igonre my post, somehow i thought this has a 4k screen... which mine does...

XPS 13 is considered premium ultraportable. It is more comparable to ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

Totally satisfied with my XPS 13 9305 that I got about a month ago. Great build quality, excellent full hd matte screen (non-touch), amazing battery life.

Upgraded with a 2TB NVME SSD and this thing should last me a few years.

Carbon's availability is 4 month+
I'm on a market for laptop for my student kid. I already placed an order for X1 Carbon but had to cancel due longer waiting time. What do you guys think about this Dell vs Lenovo Carbon Gen 9?

$75OFF$1500PC worked, but I can't find a 10% off
It's strange, you can find exactly the same models on their website with different shipping terms. Lenovo is much better with naming. Dell has XPS 12 or new XPS 12, different configurations though

Reminder: RAM is not upgradable/expandable. Don't buy 8GB ones

Poor site design for sure. The only way I found to see the base model number is add to cart and check-out. The model is shown under the full details.

The base model# is included in the order code. The order code for the model in the OP is nxps139305_h15e, whose base model# is XPS13 9305. And h15e probably refers to the specific configurations.

Sometimes it can take a while to get the code. Also, suggest you to use a desktop web browser on a PC. There are some posts reporting mobile browser somehow mess up the link.

2021 CPU in a 2019 chassis. Not a bad price if you don't mind an older 16:9 display.
