Tom's Guide Awards 2021: Best laptop overall: Dell XPS 13 with OLED

The Tom's Guide Awards for 2021 celebrates the very best products across a wide range of categories. After testing and reviewing hundreds of devices and services over the past year, they help you find the best things to buy and use.

Adding an OLED display makes one of the best laptops on the market even better. With great performance, a stylish chassis, and a beautiful 3.5K OLED touchscreen, the Dell XPS 13 with OLED is a premium Windows laptop.

  • Cool and light: For the black palm rest, carbon fiber inspired by the aerospace industry, or the arctic white woven glass fiber palm rest, allow for maximum strength and minimal weight.
  • Superior screen: The latest Corning® Gorilla® Glass 6 is strong, as well as impact and scratch resistance.
  • Gleaming sidewalls: Anodizing provides a superior, scratch-resistant surface, but here, edges are dipped a second time to further prevent damage from repeated plugging and unplugging of peripherals. Using this finish on the metal achieves the perfect color without using paint, which could chip away over time.
  • Easier to open: The new twin coil press fit hinge is designed to maximize the screen to body ratio and enable 4-sided InfinityEdge. It makes it easier to open, while staying stable when you are using the touchscreen.
  • Revolutionary webcam construction: The XPS 13 webcam isn't just smaller (only 2.25 mm)—it's also better. A 4-element lens uses more elements than a typical webcam to deliver sharp video in all areas of the frame, while temporal noise reduction uses advanced noise reduction, significantly improving video quality, especially in dim lighting conditions. Finally, the lens is assembled with precise machinery to ensure all points of the image are in focus.
  • Breaking the boundaries of performance for thin and light laptops: The speed and intelligence of 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and up to Intel® Iris® Xe graphics makes your experience fast, smooth, and easy.
  • Stay unplugged with long battery life: Experience incredibly long battery life — up to 14 hours on a Full HD+ model when streaming your favorite shows or up to 8 hours of streaming on a 4K+ model.
  • See every detail: The optional 4K Ultra HD+ (3840 x 2400) touch display offers pinpoint accuracy for all of your computing needs. See the detail of every pixel in photos without needing to zoom in or see more content while browsing the web.
  • You are the password: Choose between two secure, personalized ways to log on. The infrared camera with Windows Hello recognizes your face, unlocking your XPS with secure facial recognition technology. The fingerprint reader integrated into the power button lets you log on with just a touch.
