## What reviewers say

Two whitelisted labs (Tom's Hardware, Notebookcheck) bench-tested this exact Intel Lunar Lake XPS 13 9350. Both praise standout battery life on the LCD panel (17.5 to 20+ tested hours) and the slim, minimalist aluminum design, while flagging weak multi-core/turbo performance and, from Tom's, the polarizing capacitive 'zero-lattice' function row. Notebookcheck additionally notes the aging 2MP webcam and lack of variable refresh rate. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2024-10-12–2024-11-06.)

Praised: Very long real-world battery life on the LCD/IPS panel; Attractive, slim, minimalist all-aluminum design with narrow bezels; More consistent/efficient Lunar Lake performance and improved graphics vs the prior 9340.
Flagged: Weaker multi-core / Turbo Boost performance (vs the prior 9340 per Notebookcheck); Capacitive 'zero-lattice' function row hard to use (esc/delete); OLED panel option roughly halves battery life vs the LCD; Aging 2MP/1080p webcam and no variable refresh rate support.
Disagreement: The two labs measured LCD brightness on different display SKUs: Tom's Hardware recorded 375.8 nits on its 1920x1200 unit, while Notebookcheck measured 462.8 cd/m2 max (435.1 cd/m2 average) on its matte 120Hz 1200p IPS unit — Notebookcheck notes Dell swapped panel providers (Sharp to LG Philips), a likely SKU/binning difference rather than a direct conflict. Both agree battery life is the headline strength.
