With powerful hardware, a high-resolution screen, and both USB 3.0 and USB-C ports, the Dell XPS 13 Touch is the best ultraportable laptop for power users right now.

Profile

The Dell XPS 13 Touch (2016 Rose Gold Edition) is the third iteration of this ultraportable laptop we've seen this year.

Back

The aluminum top lid and bottom lid are a bit redder (or pinker) than on the Gold Edition.

Front

The 3,200-by-1,800-resolution IPS screen is very detailed and has a good color balance.

Right Ports

You'll find an SD card slot and a USB 3.0 port on the right.

Left Ports

The power jack, an USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 port, a USB 3.0 port, and a headset jack are on the left.

Bottom

The bottom lid is rose gold aluminum as well, with a spring-loaded lid covering the FCC info and serial number.

Keyboard

The full-stroke keyboard is a lot more comfortable than the shallow one on the MacBook Pro.
