I've got the FHD model of the new XPS 13.
I really love this machine and the only complaints I have are because some build quality aspects.
First thing is that the right side of the screen have something like 2-3 px wide gap from the bezel as can be seen here:
![]()
While the left side seems OK (or maybe too close to bezel?).

On the keyboard, you can see that while most of the keyboard is alined correctly (center and left side).
The right keys especially 'return' \ 'delete' \ '\' etc. are way off to the right side of their cut.
![]()
Also the trackpad have a larger gap at the right side than the left side:
![]()
Does anyone else seems to have those problems?

Another two things I've noticed.
First thing (marked in yellow) is that on the left size the gap of the screen hinge is larger than on the right side (noticeably).
The second thing (marked in red) is that on the left side the thin plastic line at the bottom of the screen is bent inward (while on the right side it is perfect).
Another angle of the left side:
I know those are some minor issues but not for a 1000$ machine.
Should I contact Dell about this? -

I can learn to live with most of the issues.
But the bent plastic is very annoying.
