The best Windows laptop just got better

The best Windows laptop just got better Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Acer Ac Adapter
I’ve been searching for the perfect Windows laptop ever since Windows 8 was released, three years ago. For much of that time, I reluctantly opted for the MacBook Air simply because there weren’t better, Windows-native options. But running Windows on an Apple laptop isn’t ideal, if only because the keyboard is laid out differently. After that frustrating three-year search, I’ve finally found the best Windows laptop. It’s a laptop that doesn’t resort to origami touchscreen gimmicks or feel like it’s cloning the MacBook yet again. It’s the new Dell XPS 13.
Dell has been working at perfecting the XPS 13 for a while, including an overhauled version it introduced early this year. It was smaller than a MacBook Air, thanks to a beautiful 13.3-inch edge-to-edge display. It was also the first Windows laptop that has come close to the quality and reliability of a MacBook Air. I switched to that early 2015 model as my main machine six months ago, but a few nagging, real problems made it frustrating. Like most Windows laptops, it had trackpad issues, the speed wasn’t quite what it should have been, and Dell’s claim of 11 hours battery with like Asus A32-U1 battery, Asus U3Sg battery, Asus AL31-1005 battery, Asus AL32-1005 battery, Asus AP31-1008P battery, Asus F3Sr battery, Asus M50Sr battery, Asus Z53Jc battery, Asus M51Se battery, Asus A32-A8 battery, Asus 90-NF51B1000 battery, Asus Z99Sc batterylife didn’t pan out. The ideas were all there, but it was not a polished experience.
But now, Dell has refreshed the XPS 13 again with some minor improvements that focus on exactly the things that bothered me with the first one: battery life, performance, and the trackpad. I’ve been using the new Dell XPS 13 for the past couple of weeks, and — again — I’m convinced it’s the best Windows laptop out there. Sorry, Surface Book
Very little has changed externally with the new XPS 13. It looks identical to the same model from earlier this year. Both have stunning edge-to-edge displays that no other laptop makers use, and they’re really the centerpiece of the XPS 13.
Most manufacturers are racing to create the best 2-in-1 hybrid with a crazy Yoga-like hinge, 4K display, and touchscreen, but Dell has gone back to the basics of what we all love about a portable computer. The new Dell XPS 13 shines as a result. I’ve been primarily testing the non-touch model as I prefer its matte display and longer battery life. I don’t need to flip my laptop around into a tablet or touch the display regularly. I’m convinced most people don’t need to just yet either. I love the idea of a combined tablet and laptop, but until there’s enough touch apps designed for this hybrid world, I just want a laptop that works.
