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.

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.

I can confirm that the layout in 9343 / 9350 / 9360 is IDENTICAL. They shares the chassis.
The 9543 / 9550 /9560 and the precision shares the chassis (confirmed). Internals should be similar but varies wildly from configuration to configuration (e.g. a smaller battery and a 2.5 inch HDD OR a big battery with no 2.5 inch), discrete soldered or socket GPUs and the like.
The two looks very similar, so be rather sure. The 15 inch tend to get “better” stuff.
For the L321X, 9333, the 9q23 and the “older” models the layout IS different (but they should share the chassis)
Are there multiple SSD slots?
No. The 9360 don’t have enough internal space.
The 9560 had two options: A big (96 WH I think) battery, or a small battery (I think it’s a 65WH but different shape), but you have a 2.5 inch slot.
The (even) newer XPS 15 don’t have a 2.5 inch but give you two slots of PCIe/SATA SSD slots.
And, supposedly the mounting point for the SSD is replaceable (for the different length), but I can’t find one and/or the plentiful 2280 rendered other sizes obsolete.

Note that these slots should support both NVMe/PCIe and SATA protocols and also feature Intel RST (rapid storage technology). See BIOS.
