Are there better alternatives?

The XPS 13 is the clearest alternative, providing a lot of the same look and feel as the 2-in-1. The clamshell has also been updated to 10th-gen but uses Comet Lake rather than Ice Lake. This gives the option for a six-core processor at the top end, while Ice Lake gives you the extra graphics boost thanks to Iris Plus.

　　Another strong competitor is the HP Spectre x360. The updated model has similarly thin bezels, the same Ice Lake processors, and fantastic battery life. I prefer the 16:10 screen and the design of the XPS 13 2-in-1, but they’re nearly a toss up in terms of features and performance.

　　

How long will it last?

The XPS 13 2-in-1 should last you at least three or four years, thanks to its strong build quality and updated components.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is a great device that’s even sleeker than the already excellent XPS 13.
