All of today\u2019s most popular phones, including Apple\u2019s iPhone and Samsung\u2019s Galaxy line, have embraced it in a warm, fuzzy, high-contrast hug. Yet few laptops have taken the same step, and those that have are typically large, powerful 15-inch models aimed at a niche audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A week with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Dell-1746167-X1W0D\">Dell XPS 13\u2019s<\/a> OLED left me wishing the tech was more readily available on modern laptops. Yet its arrival in the XPS 13 might be a case of too little, too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The XPS 13 introduces a tandem OLED display, a first for any laptop, which not only delivers higher brightness but also extends battery life compared to traditional OLED screens. Combined with a claimed 26 hours of battery life while streaming on an FHD+ display, this makes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Dell-1746167-X1W0D\">Dell XPS 13<\/a> a practical choice for those who need long-lasting performance, whether for work or media consumption, without constantly searching for a power outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The laptop has a 13.4-inch <strong>InfinityEdge<\/strong> display, Intel<strong> Arc<\/strong> graphics, a <strong>1080p<\/strong> webcam, <strong>Windows Hello<\/strong> support, and two <strong>Thunderbolt 4<\/strong> (USB Type-C) ports. Graphite and Platinum are the case color options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Dell-1740673-90V7W\">90V7W Battery for Dell XPS 13 9343 9350 JD25G 5K9CP DIN02<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why OLED?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/61kojk8MkkL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg\" alt=\"DELL XPS 13 Plus Laptop, 13.4&quot; 4K UHD OLED Touchscreen, Intel Core  i7-1260P, Zero-Lattice Backlit Keyboard, Fingerprint Reader, Killer Wi-Fi  6E, Win 11, w Backpack (16GB DDR5, 1TB PCIe SSD) : Amazon.sg:\" width=\"227\" height=\"148\"><br>OLED is self-emissive, which means each individual pixel creates its own light. This also means each pixel can be shut off entirely, achieving a deep, abyssal black that a typical LCD panel can\u2019t match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most high-end laptops have great displays: the MacBook Pro 13, Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, and prior Dell XPS 13 all can impress with bright, vibrant images. Yet they fail when displaying photos or dark, atmospheric movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starlit skies that should contrast the infinite darkness of space against brilliant points of light instead look hazy, as if a light fog had crept into the shot. Dell\u2019s XPS 13 with OLED doesn\u2019t have that problem. Shadows have true depth, providing a sense of presence and realism not found from competing LCD laptop displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This advantage isn\u2019t just for 4K movies or high-res photos. On the contrary, I appreciate it most when doing what I\u2019m doing at this very moment: writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dell XPS 13\u2019s OLED looks distinct from LCD laptops. It\u2019s as if the screen is not a screen at all, but instead a page ripped from an enchanted high-gloss magazine that can magically change form. It\u2019s simply fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dell XPS 13 vs. MacBook Pro vs. iPad Pro<\/strong><br>OLED\u2019s downsides make it more of an alternative, rather than a straight upgrade, over the quality LCDs available in Apple&#8217;s MacBooks and in Lenovo laptops. In fact, Dell offers its own 500-nit 4K LCD for the XPS 13, and I can see why some would choose it. OLED makes sense in a home office with proper light control, but a brighter LCD could be preferable for travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26 hours of battery!
