· 5 pulledThe golden rule of good design is that when something is executed perfectly, it's the little things you don't notice that are most impressive.
Absence of friction is often a higher mark of quality than fancy flourishes.
In a laptop, the highest level of craftsmanship manifests as effortless user experience.
It's the fan that's so quiet, it never breaks your attention in a silent lecture hall, a gaming session or a video call where you're in the midst of a high-stakes presentation.
Dell's thinnest and lightest XPS yet is a smart choice that exemplifies how good design gets out of your way.
