Giriş

With a huge display packed into a very sleek package, we didn't have high hopes heading into this assessment, but we were pleased to discover an overall lack of adhesive, standard screws, and publically-available repair documentation—all of which contributed to the XPS 13's 7 out of 10.

  7. Next out is the SSD and and the wireless card. All the cables we've encountered thus far have some tape on them. Not a ton, but some will need to be replaced unless you're very careful during disassembly. All the cables we've encountered thus far have some tape on them.

  8. The display connector is a little tricky. It's secured by a bracket and five pieces of tape, but at least had a handy pull-tab to assuage worries about breaking the connector.

  11. The trackpad comes out fairly easily—remove four screws and, unfortunately, a bit of tape. Then parts just start flying. After loosening a handful of Phillips screws we can remove the daughterboard (home to a USB port and SD card reader), speakers, RTC battery (which is just glued in place), and the DC-in socket. And after removing a couple dozen more screws, the keyboard comes out with no drama (and no tape!).

    • The Dell XPS 13 earns a 7 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

    • Manufacturer provides free manuals online.

    • Once you manage to take off the bottom cover, all the parts are pretty easily replaceable.

    • Screws and connectors are labeled, aiding reassembly.

    • Moderate adhesive—except for the display assembly, no heat is required to disassemble.

    • The layering could be improved to make certain components easier to remove, but overall the modular design makes repairs cheaper.

    • Soldered RAM means you'll never be able to upgrade when things get slow.

What version of the XPS 13 9333 did you use for your demonstration? The one I have just looked at had a significantly different layout and assortment of connections. For example, the flat copper-colored U-shaped connector is flipped 180 from your image.

Actually, the images show a layout that is about 180 out from what I viewed.
