Battery is the main power source for mobile tech products especially for laptops. The more battery power backup, more will be the performance of the laptop as the user don\u2019t have to find out power source. Battery is lifeline for the device. Many famous companies are offering international standard batteries with varying capacities to suit the requirement of the end users.<\/p>\n

Dell XPS 13 is a well equipped laptop with a consistent design in the same way that Apple\u2019s successful line of MacBook Air has seen little changes over the years. Weighing in at just over 3 pounds, the XPS 13 delivers a lot of power and performance, and this year\u2019s refresh adds additional performance gains to an already superb system.<\/p>\n

The Intel Haswell processor, better integrated Intel HD graphics, and a full HD touchscreen optional display along with a beefier battery and more battery stamina continue to make the XPS 13 one of our favorite Ultrabooks on the market today despite a design that has remained the same for three generations.<\/p>\n

Beauty and power may be for naught if a laptop isn’t comfortable to use. Dell’s keyboard on the XPS is one of the best that I’ve used. The keys are raised slightly more than most competitors, giving the XPS 13 more travel than normal when pressing the keys. The end result is an incredibly satisfying typing experience reminiscent of excellent full-sized keyboards. The touchpad also has just the right balance of smoothness and resistance.<\/p>\n

Battery life for the Haswell-equipped XPS 13 is solid, presenting strong numbers that will make this system a joy to use. Mobile professionals who travel cross country will find that strong battery numbers mean that they can get more done on the go, with Dell latitude e5400 battery<\/a>\u00a0life stretching above the 7-hour mark and well into the 8-hour mark.<\/p>\n

When we streamed videos and opened a few browser tabs while connected to WiFi, battery life hovered closer to the 7 hours of continuous use on a single charge. With just editing some Word documents and having a few browser tabs opened stretched us beyond the 8-hour mark.<\/p>\n

Dell XPS 13 doesn’t quite live up to its price tag. Its main problem is that competitors make cheaper ultrabooks with similar specs and nearly identical performance results. Look no further than the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, which has the same processor, the same amount of RAM and the same solid-state storage. Unfortunately for the XPS 13, Lenovo’s ultrabook only costs $1,200 and has a much higher screen resolution. Dell’s ultrabook does have noticeably better Dell XPS M1730 Battery Life<\/a>, though: We clocked over 10 hours compared with the Yoga 2 Pro’s 7.5 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
