戴尔 XPS 13 Ultrabook (Late 2012) 测评
Editor's Note (January 5, 2013): The following review has not yet been edited for grammatical errors. A final draft of the review will be released soon.
For the original German review, see here.
After the new device category of ultrabooks created by Intel made a rather cautious start, many manufacturers now follow suit and are gradually launching more and more of these super-slim devices. Rivaling the MacBook Air, which can certainly be seen as a pioneer, focus is particularly put on the highest possible portability factor in these models. Dell's XPS 13 gets right down to business and receives a 13 inch screen in an 11 inch casing. Customers of Dell's XPS 13 can also expect high-end materials, potent components and low power consumption as additional features.
Dell's XPS 13 reviewed in March was compelling in many areas but also reaped in some points of criticism. Meanwhile, Dell has refreshed its slim ultrabook and now installs updated components. Our test device sports Intel's Core i7 3517U alongside the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000, 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB (gross) solid state drive. Windows 8 is now used as the operating system. The price for the test configuration in Dell's online shop is EUR 1299 (plus shipping) and includes a discount of currently EUR 100.

对于的德国原装审查，在这里看到。
后，新的设备类别ultrabooks由英特尔创建了相当谨慎的开始，现在很多厂家纷纷效仿，并逐步推出这些超薄的设备越来越多，。媲美MacBook Air，这当然可以被看作是一个先驱，重点特别放在尽可能高的便携性因素在这些模型中。戴尔XPS 13得到正确的正事，收到了13英寸的屏幕在11英寸套管。戴尔XPS 13的客户还可以期待有力的高端材料，元件和低功耗的附加功能。
戴尔XPS 13三月检讨在许多领域引人注目，但也收获了在某些方面的批评。同时，戴尔已经更新了其超薄的Ultrabook，现在安装更新的组件。我们的测试设备运动英特尔的Core i73517U一起集成的英特尔HD4000显卡，8 GB的RAM和256 GB固态驱动器（建筑面积）。现在使用的Windows 8操作系统。戴尔公司的网上商店测试配置的价格是1299欧元（加运费），包括100欧元目前的折扣。
Case
The obviously unchanged casing made of carbon fiber and aluminum strikes with its very good build quality and torsional stiffness, like already its former precursor. The display lid can only be warped marginally, the display hinge has a firm grip and the parts are assembled very accurately. The solid wrist rest is rubber coated and appeals with a pleasant feel and easy-to-clean surface. The bottom covered with a subtle checker pattern is extremely stable and is basically a big cover. Beneath it we find the different components, including the non-removable battery.
Contrary to advertising, Dell's XPS 13 is not a real 11 inch but rather a very slim 13 inch laptop in terms of size. For example, its dimensions are almost identical with contenders like Samsung's 900X3C or Toshiba's Z830. In contrast to Asus' UX21 or the MacBook Air 11, it exhibits a roughly 10 mm larger width and depth, but there is not a noticeable difference. The slim 11 and 13 inch ultrabooks are also very similar in size. The weight difference of about 200 grams, which is relatively high for this device category compared with some 13 inchers (XPS 13: 1380 grams), should be more evident. Samsung's 900X3C only weighs 1186 grams and Toshiba's Z830 even only reaches 1110 grams. The MacBook Air 11 plays in another league with 1070 grams although it is also a real 11 incher.
显然不变的外壳由碳纤维和铝合金罢工非常好建设质量和扭转刚度像已经其前的前体。显示盖只能轻微翘曲显示铰链有一个牢固的抓地力和非常精确地被组装的部件。固体腕托一个愉快的感觉，易于清洁表面的橡胶涂层和上诉。覆盖着一个微妙的棋盘格图案的底部是非常稳定的，基本上是一个大的封面。在其下方，我们发现不同的组件，包括不可拆卸的电池。
相反，广告，戴尔XPS 13是不是一个真正的11英寸，而是一个非常苗条的13英寸笔记本电脑的大小。例如，它的尺寸与竞争者，像三星的900X3C的或东芝的Z830几乎是相同的。在华硕UX21或MacBook Air的11相比，它具有大约10毫米的较大的宽度和深度，但没有明显的差异。苗条的11和13英寸的ultrabooks是也非常相似，大小。的重量约200克，这是比较高的13英寸轮圈（XPS 13：1380克）相比，此设备类的区别，应该是更加明显。三星900X3C仅重1186克，和东芝的Z830甚至只能达到1110克。 MacBook Air的11在另一个联赛中1070克，虽然它也是一个真正的11 incher。
Connectivity
Dell only installs the most necessary when it comes to connectivity. Users will have to be content with 1 powered USB 2.0, 1 USB 3.0 for fast peripherals and a mini DisplayPort for external monitors. An adapter for really using the very rare mini DisplayPort is not included. Memory cards, separate jacks for headsets with two plugs and a network cord are also searched for in vain. Due to the wedge-shaped side line, all interfaces are found in the casing's higher rear part and ensure that connected cables only cause a minor obstruction.
戴尔只安装最必要的，当它涉及到的连接。用户将有1个供电USB2.0，USB 3.0的快速外围设备，用于外部监视器和一个Mini DisplayPort的内容。真正使用非常罕见的迷你DisplayPort适配器不包括在内。记忆卡，独立的耳机插孔两个插头和网线也会被搜索徒劳的。由于楔形的侧线，所有的接口都发现在高的壳体的后部，并确保连接的电缆只引起轻微的阻塞。
Communication
Intel's wireless Centrino Advanced-N 6235 incorporates two antennas and transmits in both the 2.4 GHz as well as the 5 GHz band. Theoretically, transmission rates of up to 300 Mbit/s would be possible. We tested the signal at three different locations and varying distances but did not observe any irregularities. Compared with an Atheros AR9485WB Wi-Fi adapter, the signal is all over a bit better. The Wi-Fi chip also sports a Bluetooth 4.0 module that is often used for connecting cell phones, smartphones and mice. Dell's XPS 13 does not have much more to offer, apart from a 1.3 MP webcam.
A UMTS, HSPA or LTE module for connecting to mobile broadband is not available. The user will have to fall back on external options, such as a mobile UMTS router, tethering via smartphone or USB dongles when required. The ultrabook also lacks a conventional network socket for cabled networking.
Accessories
Dell's XPS 13 does not come with any accessories despite its premium positioning. There is neither an adapter for the rare mini DisplayPort nor a system recovery DVD in the box.
Maintenance
The bottom is fastened via 10 Torx-5 screws and can be easily removed. Dell has, as often before, composed descriptive, detailed instructions in the Owner's Manual. Which components can be exchanged is also explained here. The fan is accessible and easy to clean. The mSATA drive and wireless module can be replaced but not the working memory. It features a capacity of 8 gigabytes and is soldered and consequently cannot be upgraded. Contrasting Dell's specifications, the 8 GB memory configuration is installed in two memory banks which work in dual-channel mode.
Warranty
Dell's XPS 13 includes a one year on-site hardware service for the next business day (in addition to the statutory warranty). It can be optionally upgraded to two (EUR 140) or three years (EUR 187.60).
通讯
英特尔迅驰高级的无线-N6235集成了两个都在2.4 GHz和5 GHz频段的天线和发送。从理论上说，高达300 Mbit / s的传输速率是可能的。我们测试了信号在三个不同的地点和不同的距离，但没有发现任何违规行为。使用的是Atheros AR9485WB Wi-Fi适配器相比，是所有好一点的信号。的Wi-Fi芯片还支持蓝牙4.0模块，通常用于连接手机，智能手机和鼠标。没有什么太大的戴尔XPS 13提供，除了一个130万像素的摄像头。
一个UMTS，HSPA或LTE模块连接到移动宽带无法使用。外部选项，如移动UMTS路由器的用户将有回落，圈养在需要时通过智能手机或USB连接器。的Ultrabook也缺乏一个常规的网络插座，用于有线网络。
饰品
戴尔XPS 13不附带任何配件尽管其溢价定位。既不是罕见的迷你DisplayPort适配器，也不是一个系统恢复DVD包装盒中。
保养
通过10米字5个螺丝固定在底部，可以很容易地删除。戴尔，以前经常有，由描述性的，在用户手册中的详细说明。这里也解释哪些组件可以交换。风扇是方便和易于清洁。的mSATA驱动器和无线模块可以被替换，但不工作存储器。它具有一个8 GB的容量和焊接，因此不能升级。对比戴尔的规格，8 GB的内存配置，则安装在两个内存工作在双通道模式下的银行。
保
戴尔XPS 13现场硬件服务包括为期一年的下一个营业日（除法定保修）。可以选择升级到2（140欧元）或三年（187.60欧元）。
Input Devices
Keyboard
The keyboard in our test model features high-contrast, standard-sized keys in a 19 mm grid and exhibits a German layout. The enter key is a bit small and the vertical arrow keys are a bit cramped. The short key drop and soft stroke need getting used to, but they compensate that with a quiet typing noise. However, we ascertained a clattery area around the "U" and "I" on the test model. The keyboard does not fit quite tight here and causes an disagreeable restriction.
The very bright keyboard backlight proves to be very beneficial in dark work environments. Regrettably, the settings are only limited to two levels.
Touchpad
The relatively big touchpad offers a lot of room and features pleasant gliding traits. Inputs are accepted well and enable a smooth work flow. Individual settings can be found in the Cypress driver and range over the usual one and two finger inputs up to four-finger gestures that can be enabled or disabled singly. The touchpad buttons incorporated in the pad need familiarization and their reliability decreases toward the center, which is construction-related.
键盘
在我们的测试模型，具有高对比度，标准尺寸的按键的键盘在19毫米电网，呈现出德国的布局。 ENTER键有点小，上下键是有点局促。短键降和软行程需要时间来适应，但他们一个安静的打字噪音补偿。然而，我们确定一个clattery的周围地区的“U”和“I”的测试模型。的键盘不适合在这里相当紧张，会导致不愉快的限制。
非常明亮的背光键盘，证明在黑暗的工作环境是非常有益的。遗憾的是，设置只限于两个级别。
触摸板
比较大的触控板提供了很大的空间，并设有宜人的滑翔特征。接受输入，使流畅的工作流程。在赛普拉斯驱动程序和范围，通常一到两个手指输入，可以启用或禁用单独的四指手势，个人设置中可以找到。触摸板按钮纳入垫需要熟悉和向中心的可靠性降低，这是建设相关的。
Display
According to the key specs, Dell's Truelife screen resolution is only standard fare. With a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels (118 dpi) and the reflective surface, there is no added value compared to the competition. Asus' Zenbook UX31, for example, bids a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels and Samsung's 900X3 even serves with a matte surface. An even finer resolution is found in Sony's Vaio VPC-Z23, which even features a matte Full HD screen.
据戴尔TrueLife技术的关键指标，屏幕分辨率是唯一的标准收费。随着分辨率为1366×768像素（118 DPI）和反射表面，有没有附加价值的竞争。华硕ZENBOOK UX31，例如，投标，分辨率为1600×900像素，三星900X3，即使是采用了磨砂表面。被发现在索尼的Vaio VPC-Z23，甚至采用了磨砂的全高清屏幕更精细的分辨率。

Brightness Distribution: 88 %
Center on Battery: 200 cd/m²
Contrast: 486:1 (Black: 0.545 cd/m²)45.57% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
65.3% sRGB (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
44.42% Display P3 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
The CMO screen in Dell's XPS 13 has an average brightness of 246 cd/m² and is illuminated quite homogeneously with 88%. Light spots, clouding or other brightness differences are not visible to the naked eye. The high brightness is quite sufficient for indoor use, but that is also necessary to outshine reflections depending on the ambient light. An ergonomic brightness of around 150 cd/m² can only be used with major restrictions in many cases. The integrated light sensor responds to the ambient light without delay and usually finds the right brightness level. This would be beneficial on a matte screen, but many users will likely disable this feature due to the glare-type screen.
奇美电子屏幕的戴尔XPS 13的平均亮度为246 cd /m²的，有88％被照亮相当均匀。是肉眼不可见的光点，混浊或其他亮度的差异。高亮度相当充足的室内使用，，但一枝独秀根据周围环境的光线的反射，这也是必要的。大约150坎德拉/平方米的一种符合人机工程学的亮度仅可用于在许多情况下，与主要的限制。集成光传感器，环境光响应无延迟，通常找到合适的亮度水平。这将是有益的磨砂屏幕上，但许多用户可能会禁用此功能，由于眩光型屏幕。
It is difficult to work outdoors without strain on cloudy days even using maximum brightness, depending on the screen's positioning. This is partly because the maximum brightness is dimmed to 200 cd/m² on battery and, again, partly due to the very reflective Gorilla Glass surface. The reduced brightness cannot be changed in either the BIOs or in the energy settings.
The ascertained contrast of 486:1 surpasses many standard screens and reproduces saturated colors and a dark black in ideal viewing angles. This is particularly good for pictures, movies and games since they look more vivid in many areas. The supported color space only covers roughly 60% of the sRGB color spectrum and corresponds to the usual laptop standard products.
阴雨天，即使使用最大亮度，在屏幕的定位上，这是很难在户外工作，没有变形。这部分是因为200坎德拉/平方米上电池，并再次，部分原因是非常反光的Gorilla玻璃表面的最大亮度会变暗。亮度降低，不能更改BIOS，或者在能源设置。
确定对比度486:1超过了许多标准的屏幕和饱和的色彩和暗黑色理想的视角再现。这是特别好，因为他们在许多方面看起来更加生动的照片，电影和游戏。支持的色彩空间大约覆盖60％的sRGB色光谱，对应于一般的笔记本电脑标准的产品。
The TN screen's viewing angle stability also does not cause enthusiasm. The very susceptible vertical angle only exhibits a perfect picture in a very narrow range. The image fades or inverts as soon as the screen is tilted to the front or back beyond that. In return, the user is faced with a reddish cast and brightness loss when looking from the sides horizontally.
TN屏的可视角度稳定性也不会引起积极性。在一个很窄的范围内，很容易的垂直角度呈现出一幅完美的图画。图像变淡或反相尽快屏幕倾斜时，除此之外的正面或背面。作为回报，用户面临的一个偏红，亮度损失时，从侧面水平。
Performance
Dell's XPS 13 is currently available in several unchangeable preconfigured alternatives. The differences primarily affect the CPU, RAM and SSD. It is possible to choose among various combinations using Intel's Core i5 3317U and Intel's Core i7 3517U processors, 4 or 8 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB SSD storage devices. Our test device is the premium model and is accordingly configured with the Core i7 CPU and maximum storage capacity. Intel's QS77 chipset, designed for efficiency like the CPU, serves as the basis and is thus optimally geared for use in ultrabooks. All versions use the CPU-integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics unit.
戴尔XPS 13是目前在几个不变的预先配置的替代品。的差异主要影响到CPU，RAM和SSD。这是可以选择使用英特尔的Core i53317U和英特尔的Core i73517U处理器，4个或8 GB的RAM和128或256 GB的SSD存储设备之间的各种组合。我们的测试设备是的溢价模型和相应配置的Core i7 CPU和存储容量最大。英特尔QS77芯片组，设计的效率，如CPU，作为基础，因此，最佳适合用于在ultrabooks。所有版本都使用CPU集成的英特尔HD图形4000图形单元。
Processor
Intel's energy-efficient Core i7 3517U including the graphics has a thermal design power (TDP) of 17 watts. Its performance can be compared with Intel's Core i5 2430M CPU, which however has a twice as high TDP. Familiar features, such as Hyper Threading, a 4 MB L3 cache or Turbo Boost technology are available despite the CPU's efficiency. However, the default rate of 1.9 GHz is much lower than in conventional CPUs (Core i5 2430M: 2.4 GHz), which particularly leads to a lower idle power consumption.
The processor's performance is impressive. For example, it achieved 4170 points (single-core, 32bit) and 8508 points (multi-core, 32bit) in Cinebench R10. That comes close to Intel's Core i5 2450M CPU's average scores in our extensive CPU benchmark chart. The processor also compels with a good conversion performance using iTunes in practice. MP3 files are converted to AAC format with a 42.8x speed.
We did not observe thermal throttling in Dell's XPS 13 even after a longer period of constant full load. Intel's Core i7 3517U CPU runs consistently at a stable speed.
We also did not notice performance throttling on battery power. We even recorded a slightly better result in Cinebench R11.5 with 2.72 points in the multi-CPU test. It was a marginally lower 2.69 points in AC mode.
英特尔的高能效酷睿i7的3517U包括图形的散热设计功率（TDP）为17瓦。其性能可与英特尔酷睿i5 2430M的CPU，但具有高一倍的TDP。熟悉的功能，如超线程（HT），4 MB三级高速缓存或Turbo Boost技术可尽管CPU的效率。然而，默认频率为1.9GHz，比传统的CPU（酷睿i5 2430M要求：2.4 GHz），特别是会导致一个更低的闲置功耗要低得多。
处理器的表现令人印象深刻。例如，它实现了在CINEBENCH R104170点（单核，32位）和8508点（多核心，32位）。接近英特尔酷睿i5 2450M CPU的平均分数在我们广泛的CPU基准图。该处理器还强迫使用iTunes在实践中具有良好的转换性能。 MP3文件转换为AAC格式，与42.8x速度。
我们并没有观察到热了一段时间后不断的满负荷限制在戴尔的XPS 13。英特尔的Core i73517U CPU始终以稳定的速度运行。
我们也没有注意到性能的限制，在电池供电。我们更录得2.72点，在多CPU的测试在CINEBENCH R11.5稍微好一点的结果。这是一个微跌2.69点在AC模式下。
System Performance
We checked the system performance of Dell's XPS 13 using PCMark Vantage and PCMark 7 in addition to our good, subjective impression. The older PCMark Vantage benchmark only provided a few partial results (7828 mem, 9908 gam, 15148 mus, 34252 HDD) and not any total scores. We presume this is due to an incompatibility with the still new Windows 8 operating system. In return, PCMark 7 ran through unhesitatingly and achieved a decent result of 4808 points. It is hardly possible to optimize the system performance due to the highly integrated components in Dell's XPS 13. Merely the solid state drive could be replaced to improve the system's overall performance slightly.
我们检查了系统的性能戴尔XPS 13使用PCMark Vantage的除了我们的好，主观印象和PCMark7。旧的PCMark Vantage基准只提供了几个部分结果（7828 MEM，9908 GAM，15148亩，34252 HDD），而不是任何总分数。我们相信，这是由于不兼容的还是新的Windows 8操作系统。的PCMark 7作为回报，贯穿毫不犹豫地，并取得了不错的结果，4808点。这几乎是不可能的，以优化系统性能，因为在戴尔的XPS 13的高度集成的组件。只是固态驱动器可替代稍微提高了系统的整体性能。

Storage Devices
Dell opted for a storage device in mSATA size because of the slim casing. These small cards are practically solid state drives in mini format. In view of performance and available memory capacity, not many compromises have to be made in comparison with full-sized models despite the much smaller build. A Samsung P830 mSATA solid state drive is built into our test device and features a (gross) capacity of 256 GB. The mSATA slot is connected via SATA III and enables exploiting the drive's full speed. With sequential read rates of up to 451 MB/s, decent 268 MB/s at 32 simultaneously dispersed 4K read accesses and a low access time of 0.2 ms, this drive supplies very good rates that can only be surpassed by full-sized, high-end SSDs. Dell did not leave anything unused in terms of storage devices. Capacity, speed and upgradeability are practical and exploit the current possibilities very well.
戴尔选择的存储装置中的mSATA尺寸因为苗条壳体。这些小卡片是几乎固态驱动器，迷你格式。在没有多少妥协的性能和可用内存容量，必须与全尺寸的模型相比，尽管更小的构建。一位三星P830 mSATA固态驱动器内置到我们的测试设备，并设有一间（建筑面积）的容量为256 GB。通过SATA III的mSATA插槽连接，并能够利用驱动器的速度。顺序读取速率高达451 MB/ s的，体面的268 MB/ s的同时分散在324K读取访问和访问时间为0.2 ms的低，该驱动器提供很好的价格，只能被超越全尺寸，高高端的固态硬盘。戴尔没有留下任何未使用的存储设备。容量，速度和可升级性是可行的，并很好地利用目前的可能性。
Graphics Card
The integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000's performance covers many application fields very well and only rarely lets the user want a stronger solution with a dedicated graphics chip. These applications particularly include performance demanding tasks, such as 3D games, 3D animations or CAD programs.
Like the CPU, the graphics unit can dynamically adjust its clock speed. Intel principally specifies a clock of 350 MHz to 1350 MHz depending on the load level. The tool GPU-Z recorded clock rates of up to 1150 MHz in the Furmark and Cinebench R11.5 Open GL tests.
Since the Intel HD Graphics 4000 does not have a dedicated memory, the performance is very dependent on the working memory configuration. Performance losses of up to 25% are possible when it only runs in single-channel mode instead of dual-channel mode. The technical specifications on Dell's product website invariably state single-channel. Although the working memory of our XPS 13 is soldered like in the other models, it is distributed over two memory banks.
We checked whether the working memory really works in dual-channel mode with memory bandwidth and graphics performance tests. The benchmark results of 5229 points in 3DMark 06, 3290 points in 3DMark Vantage and 672 points in 3DMark 11, which are all above-average in our extensive graphics benchmark chart, indicate a dual-channel configuration. On the other hand, the performance loss depicted above can be ascertained in the models featuring 4 GB of RAM. A 4 GB module is soldered on only one memory bank and thus really works in single-channel mode like Dell specifies.
Regardless of that, the performance is easily enough for common home office tasks. Merely demanding 3D programs can only be used with significant restrictions. This looks different when Intel's Quick-Sync technology is supported. Then, even performance-devouring tasks, such as video converting, are transferable to the graphics unit at relatively low system load. Besides a high speed, this alternative particularly benefits from a low CPU capacity. It enables performing other tasks comfortably while running the conversion in the background.
The graphics performance is not reduced in either continuous full load or on battery power. The performed comparison benchmarks were almost on the same level as in the regular tests.
集成Intel HD Graphics 4000的性能包括许多应用领域非常好，很少让用户希望有一个强大的解决方案，用一个专门的图形芯片。这些应用程序，特别是包括性能要求苛刻的任务，如3D游戏，3D动画或CAD程序。
（例如CPU），图形单元可以动态地调整它的时钟速度。英特尔主要指定的时钟为350 MHz〜1350 MHz的取决于负载水平。工具GPU-Z的时钟速率高达1150 MHz的Furmark的和Cinebench R11.5开放的GL测试。
由于英特尔HD Graphics 4000没有专用的内存，性能非常依赖于工作的内存配置。高达25％的性能损失是可能的时，它仅在单信道模式下运行，而不是双通道模式。在戴尔公司的产品网站的技术规格总是状态单通道。虽然我们的XPS 13的内存是焊接工作中的其他车型一样，它分布在两个存储区。
我们检查工作记忆是否真的工作在双通道模式，内存带宽和显卡性能测试。在3DMark 06的5229点，在3DMark Vantage的3290分和672分，都高于平均水平，我们的大量的图形基准图在3DMark 11基准测试结果，表明双通道配置。另一方面，上面所描述的性能损失，可确定模型中具有4 GB的RAM。 A 4 GB模块焊接在只有一个存储体，从而真正工作在单通道模式，如戴尔指定。
重要的是，性能是常见的家庭办公室的任务很轻松了。仅仅要求苛刻的3D节目只能用于具有显著限制。支持英特尔的快速同步技术时，这看起来不同。然后，即使性能吞噬的任务，如视频转换，转移到的图形单元，在相对较低的系统负载。除了高速之外，这种替代，特别是有利于从低CPU能力。它使舒适的同时执行其他任务在后台运行转换。
在任一连续满负荷或电池电源的图形性能不降低。定期测试几乎在同一水平上进行比较的基准。

Gaming Performance
By way of example, we looked at Diablo III, World of Warcraft and Anno 2070 in practice. The tested games could be rendered smoothly using low resolution and quality settings. However, there is not much room for higher resolutions and/or quality settings and the integrated Intel graphics solution finds its limits. This assessment should be representative of many other up-to-date games. Our comprehensive laptop gaming performance comparison gives an overview of which games can be played on the Intel HD Graphics 4000.
通过举例的方式，我们看到了“暗黑破坏神III，魔兽世界，在实践中和Anno2070。测试游戏可以顺利使用较低的分辨率和质量设置呈现。然而，没有太多的空间，更高的分辨率和/或质量设置和集成的英特尔图形解决方案，发现它的极限。这种评估应该是代表许多其他的最新游戏。我们的全面的笔记本电脑的游戏性能，的比较简要介绍了这游戏可以玩的英特尔HD Graphics4000。

Emissions
System Noise
The system noise of Dell's XPS 13 is on a very quiet level with 30.6 dB (A) in low load. The fan spun almost silently in this state. However, Dell's XPS 13 is never completely silent because it always runs at minimum speed. Occasionally, a quiet beep was heard from the solid state drive when it accessed the memory. However, this noise was neither distracting nor does it feature a high-pitch. It is thus possible to perform many tasks, like word processing, simple image editing or Internet browsing with a very quiet laptop. The fan turned up in medium and maximum load and produced a noise of 43.9 dB (A) to 45.7 dB (A). This is very audible and could annoy some users in the long run. This noise level was heard, for example, in converting tasks or games in practical use.
系统噪声
戴尔XPS 13是系统噪声为30.6分贝（A），在低负荷水平上一个非常安静的。在这种状态下，风扇旋转几乎默默。但是，戴尔XPS 13是从来没有完全沉默，是因为它始终运行在最低速度。有时候，一个安静的固态驱动器时听到哔访问的内存。然而，这种噪音既不是分散注意力，也不配有高音调的。因此，可以执行许多任务，如文字处理，简单的图片编辑一个非常安静的笔记本电脑或上网浏览。在介质与最大负荷的风扇产生的噪音为43.9分贝（A）至45.7分贝（A）。这是非常声音，从长远来看，可能会激怒一些用户。听到这个噪音水平，例如，在实际使用中在转换任务或游戏。

Temperature
Despite the fan's relatively loud load noise, it could not keep the casing's surface temperatures below 50°C in this scenario. A fairly high maximum rate of just below 55°C was reached at the rear. The vent placed between the casing and display hinge for construction-related reasons proved to be adverse because the waste heat could not be discharged properly. Samsung's 900X3C has the same problem and also reaches around 55°C at the casing's rear. Apple's MacBook Air 11 or Asus' Zenbook Prime UX31A solve this better and are roughly 10°C cooler with a maximum surface temperature of 46°C and 44°C, respectively.
温度
没有虽然风扇的响亮的负载噪声，它可以保持外壳的表面温度低于50°C在这种情况下。一个相当高的最大速率仅低于55°C，达到在后面。的通风放置的外壳和显示屏铰链建设方面的原因，被证明是不利的，因为不能正确地喷出余热。三星900X3C有同样的问题，也达到55°C左右，在壳体的后部。苹果的MacBook Air11或华硕ZENBOOK总理UX31A的的更好地解决这个问题，大致与最高表面温度为46°C和44°C，10°C冷却器。
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 54.7 °C / 130 F, compared to the average of 35.9 °C / 97 F, ranging from 21.4 to 59 °C for the class Subnotebook.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 52 °C / 126 F, compared to the average of 39.4 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 29.7 °C / 85 F, compared to the device average of 30.8 °C / 87 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 29.6 °C / 85.3 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.3 °C / 82.9 F (-1.3 °C / -2.4 F).
Speakers
The sound output is on a usable level and can serve with a fairly balanced sound characteristic. Bass and mids are quite audible and only the slightly dominant trebles overlay them to a small extent. A minor enhancement can be achieved by fine-tuning the sound settings. The volume can be set precisely in 100 levels. Although the maximum volume is good, the louder settings around 90 and more distort a bit. Dell's XPS 13 sports an audio combo in/out jack. Headsets or other devices with separate jack cords can therefore not be used.

Energy Management
Power Consumption
While the minimum power consumption of Dell's latest XPS 13 is roughly 0.4 watts lower than that of the March model powered by Windows 7, we ascertained an increase of 0.3 to 5 watts in the other measurements. Dell's XPS 13 treated itself up to a maximum of 37.8 watts during full load. We ascribe the increased rates in high load to the higher performance. The lower idle power consumption however indicates improved energy efficiency. The power supply unit is specified with a nominal power of 45 watts, and therefore has sufficient reserves. We did not observe a power supply induced throttling.
耗电量
虽然戴尔最新的XPS 13是最低功耗约0.4瓦，低于三月模型采用Windows 7中，我们确定增加0.3至5瓦在其他的测量。戴尔XPS 13处理在满负荷最大为37.8瓦。我们赋予更高的性能，在高负荷率增加。然而，闲置功耗低表明提高能源利用效率。指定的电源单元是一个45瓦的额定功率，并因此具有足够的储备。我们没有观察到电源引起节流。

Battery Runtime
As usual, the non-removable battery inside features a capacity of 47 Wh and ensures good battery runtime alongside the consumption rates. A runtime of 9 hours and 39 minutes away from the mains was possible in BatteryEater's Reader's test (energy saving mode, minimum screen brightness, wireless modules off). It was still 6 hours and 30 minutes in the Wi-Fi test using a screen brightness of 150 cd/m², energy saving mode and Wi-Fi on. Since Dell's XPS does not sport an optical drive, we played movie files from the storage device. It was possible for 5 hours and 40 minutes using the same brightness settings and energy saving mode. In BatteryEater's Classic test, with maximum brightness, Wi-Fi on and high-performance mode, Dell's XPS 13 lasted 90 minutes and thus its minimum battery runtime in full load is compelling.
电池运行时间
像往常一样，不可拆卸的电池内部具有一个容量为47瓦时，旁边的消耗率，保证了良好的电池运行时间。有可能的运行时间为9小时39分钟的路程从电源所有BatteryEater的阅读器的测试（节能模式，屏幕亮度最低，关闭无线模块）。它仍然是6小时30分钟的Wi-Fi测试，屏幕亮度150坎德拉/平方米，节能模式，Wi-Fi的使用。由于戴尔的XPS不运动的光盘驱动器，我们打从存储设备中的电影文件。 5小时，40分钟，使用相同的亮度设置和节能模式，这是可能的。戴尔XPS 13 BatteryEater的经典试验，最大亮度，无线网络连接和高性能模式下，历时90分钟，因此，其最低的电池在满负荷运行时是引人注目的。
Verdict
Dell's XPS 13 is really a stylish, potent and very well built ultrabook. The restrained looks and at the same time high-quality materials are convincing. Its slim dimensions and low weight are not the best of this device category, but nevertheless ensure very good mobility.
These good basic traits are complemented by good battery runtimes, which also back the mobility concept well through 6 hours of durability. The noise and temperature emissions in low load are also good and allow very relaxed working. However, this positive trait is almost reversed when Dell's XPS 13 is put under load. Then, the ultrabook gets loud and partly also very warm.
One major restriction in use on the move is the screen in Dell's XPS 13. Its glare-type surface, the dimmed brightness on battery power and the poor viewing angle stability are three major qualities that have been poorly implemented. It strongly depends on the user's habits whether the good maximum brightness in AC mode and the comparatively decent contrast can compensate that.
Construction-related drawbacks, such as the mediocre connectivity and few upgrade possibilities, belong to this device category and are found among the competition to a similar extent. However, it is too bad that neither Dell's XPS 13 nor other premium models include corresponding adapters for the mini-port models in the box.
戴尔XPS 13是一个真正的时尚的，有效的和很好的建立ultrabook的。内敛的外观和高品质的材料在同一时间有说服力。其苗条的机身尺寸和低重量此设备类的是不是最好的，但仍然保证非常好的流动性。
这些良好的基本特征和良好的电池运行时间，还回的流动性概念，以及通过6个小时的耐久性。在低负荷排放的噪音和温度都还不错，可以很轻松的工作。然而，这种积极的特点就是几乎负载下逆转时，戴尔XPS 13。然后，ultrabook的变得响亮和部分也很热情。
在移动中使用的一个主要的限制是戴尔的XPS 13在屏幕上。强光型表面，电池电量和可视角度差稳定暗淡的亮度已执行不力的三大素质。这在很大程度上取决于用户的使用习惯是否完好最大亮度在AC模式相对体面的对比度可以补偿。
建设相关的缺点，如平庸的连接和升级的可能性很少，属于此类别设备，并发现了类似的程度之间的竞争。然而，这是太糟糕了，既不是戴尔的XPS 13也没有其他的Premium车型包括相应的适配器的微型端口模型包装盒中。
