That means you can either log in with a press of the power button or simply by looking at the screen when you open the lid. The new design has a Windows Hello infrared face recognition camera squeezed into the bezel at the top of the screen and a fingerprint scanner built into the power button. The XPS 13 ships with not one but two biometric systems for securely logging you into Windows without a password. The power button is also a fingerprint scanner. The large precision trackpad is responsive, with a tactile but muted click that hopefully shouldn’t annoy those around you. Well spaced, stable, fairly quiet, with 1mm of key travel and good feedback when pressed. The new, slightly larger keyboard is great. The wedge-shaped laptop weighs just 1.27kg and is only 14.8mm thick, with a smaller footprint than most of its competition. The body of the laptop is made from aluminium, with your choice of black carbon fibre or white glass fibre on the laptop’s deck. Models are available with either touch or non-touch FHD+ screens too. It supports HDR video, including Dolby Vision. The version tested had the 4K touchscreen option, which is crisper than practically anything else, super bright, colour accurate and all-round gorgeous. That means you get a relatively large display in the body of what would traditionally have been a laptop with just an 11in screen. The thin bezel at the top of the screen has a webcam with infrared face recognition.
