Dell’s XPS 13 is a beast in a small package. This laptop will give you everything you need in law school and beyond. The intel core i7 processor is more than enough to meet your needs and every model includes significant memory. A 2 TB memory version is even available if you plan on backing up all your photos you take in law school. (Yes, you still have time to go out, explore, and take photos even as a law student).

✅ Reasons to Buy
- Size – 13 inches and 2.8 lbs makes this one of the most compact options available.
- Processing Power – 11th generation processor and improved structural design to dissipate heat ensures this runs smooth and quiet.
- Blue light protection – you’ll spend a lot of time in law school straining your eyes to read and study. Any amount of protection you can get, especially from blue light that comes from electronics will spare you eye strain and perhaps a migraine or two.
- Structure – machined aluminum, carbon fiber palm rest, impact and scratch resistant glass means this thing is as sturdy as they come.
❌ Reasons not to buy
- Price – as is the case with the more premium laptops from the industry giants, the price can be a little higher. However, when you take into account how much longer this laptop will last, the price can certainly be worth it.
⚖️ Bottom Line
Dell is known for the premium quality products they make. The XPS is no different. We appreciate the 13 inch model and how much power and performance is packed into such a small laptop. The engineering and structural integrity make this a long term option for even the clumsiest of law students.
