The new Dell XPS 13 ($1,399 to start) looks identical to the Dell XPS 13 (2024) I reviewed a few months ago, only this model features a new Intel Core Ultra 200v “Lunar Lake” chip and the first tandem OLED display we've seen on a laptop.

Astounding battery life and massive leaps forward in CPU and GPU performance prove that Intel is done messing around. Click here for Lunar Lake benchmarks.

Dell announced a new XPS 13 at IFA Berlin last week, powered by the new Intel Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" processors and its touting a wild 26-hour battery life.

Lunar Lake is the codename given to the company's latest round of Intel Core Ultra 200V chips. And the company has a lot to prove since it's Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus laptop chips that are making strides to allow Windows CoPilot+ PCs to compete against Apple's M-series chips inside the best MacBooks.

Lunar Lake is Intel’s Snapdragon killer. Intel’s Core Ultra Series 2 (Lunar Lake) was specifically designed to emphasize low power, but with competitive performance. In this it somewhat succeeds, though the Core Ultra 7 258V chip I tested can still run a distant second,
