If you like the XPS 13, I also recommend to look out for their "business laptop" Latitude 7xxx series (12", 13", 14"). They tend to have more ports, physical buttons on the touchpad, and slightly better keyboards. YMMV
- acidburnNSA 7y agoNice. Thanks. I do indeed want more ports than the current new XPS 13s. Looks like they come at a premium. 8th-Gen CPUs (vs. 10th in new XPS) with a few more ports for an extra few hundred bucks? I will keep looking though for their latest model. Thanks again.
- nfoz 7y agoNo prob. Another option for ultraportable with good ports, 10gen cpu and touchpad buttons (my personal obsession lol) is the Vaio: https://us.vaio.com https://us.vaio.com It's pricey but their SX14 is almost surely my next laptop. I'd buy one but they don't sell directly to Canada, and -- as of the border closure this morning -- I couldn't even go to the US to get one if I wanted to! Crazy times indeed.
- ohitsdom 7y agoGood tip, the latest Vaios do look nice. But it's very weird to see a VGA port on a modern laptop!
- acidburnNSA 7y agoI'm trying to upgrade from a 2013 VAIO which I totally love so that's also a good tip. Crazy times indeed.

- raghava 7y agoBe warned about the whole DisplayLink display driver drama though. Go for one with ports doing both Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C. Docks that use DisplayLink drivers for video are absolute junk on Windows and Linux both. Am actually switching to an older 5450 to get back the ease of having dual displays over a PRO3X dock at desk and a whole host of peripherals (keyboard, mouse etc)
