Unfortunately, this is also where we run into the XPS 13 (2022)'s major failing: battery life.
Overall, the performance of the XPS 13 (2022) was excellent for everyday use and productivity work, making it one of the best thin and light laptops for professionals who find themselves constantly on the go. It's the tradeoff you have to make for the form factor, so the XPS 13 was never going to break free of that fate. The sound still sucks, but all of the best ultrabooks have terrible audio, thanks to underpowered down-firing speakers. The carbon fiber palm rests are one of the things about the last XPS 13 that we fell in love with, so we're sorry to see them go, but on its merits, the keyboard is still spectacular to use.
