    Hey everyone, just bought an xps 13 i7, amazing machine. Going to use it as school starts "soon" and as the battery life isnt the best in the world i was thinking about buying an external battery pack to keep it running through out the entire day. Any that you would recommend?

    What kind of battery life are you getting?

    The xps 13 has one of the longest battery runtimes you'll find. Especially if you got the 1080p screen version, and not the 1800p touchscreen.

    If you need a battery pack, Dell actually sells one (Power Companion) that they released at the same time as the XPS 13

    Have the QHD+ version and i honestly only get around 5 realistic hours of battery. Quite heavy usave often too though streaming films but still. Saw the one dell is selling, but it is extremely expensive in denmark. Like 200USD expensive
