In our Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 review, we loved its lightweight, versatile design, bright sharp display and great webcam. Although we would have liked to see better overall Geekbench performance scores from it, we found its graphics performance impressive. And during real world use, the XPS Folio's keyboard and big, bright backlit keys made error-free typing easy. 

Ports on the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 are minimalist with just two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Sure it lacks a headphone jack, however, it ships with a nifty adapter that works with wired headphones, microphones, and speakers.
