The biggest drawback of this keyboard is the pretty loud typing noise. The power button also accommodates a fingerprint scanner, which works reliably. The power button is now integrated into the upper right corner of the keyboard, which can result in wrong inputs at first if you expect the Del-key at this spot. Even longer texts can be entered very comfortably. The keyboard has changed, and the subjective typing experience is now a bit richer. The functionality was not affected though. The latter was not perfectly integrated into the palm rest on our unit and the lower right corner was sitting slightly deeper in the palm rest. However, there is one small issue when you try to twist the base unit, because you can hear a noise from the clickpad.

The stability of the base unit is also very good, because the surface does not move under pressure. The stability of the slim lid is very good, because there are no creaking sounds and even concentrated pressure does not result in ripples on the screen. The surfaces along the sides are anodized and are extremely smooth. We did not notice any problems with fingerprints or grease during our review period, either. Overall, the materials leave a very sophisticated impression and the device is well built.

The white unit uses glass fiber for the top of the base instead. In addition to our black unit, you can also get a white version.Д«oth the lid and the bottom are made of silver aluminum, while the top of the base unit is matte black with the familiar rubberized carbon fiber pattern we know from previous models. One new feature is the almost borderless keyboard and the very slim bezels (especially at the bottom), but the wedge design is familiar. The Dell uses a completely revised chassis compared to the previous model, but the design language is pretty much still the same.
