The Dell XPS 13 9300, released in 2020, marked a full redesign of Dell's flagship ultraportable, trading the older 16:9 chassis for a 16:10 InfinityEdge display and the smallest footprint the XPS 13 line had seen at that point. It was built for students, road-warrior professionals, and anyone who wanted premium Windows hardware without workstation bulk, pairing 10th generation Intel processors with a CNC-machined aluminum shell. Dell sold it under one model number, the XPS 13 9300 — there's no separate sub-model to sort out, only the processor, display, memory, and storage you chose at checkout. Five years on, the build quality and screen still compare well against newer thin-and-lights, which keeps demand for these steady on the resale market.

Confirm you have the XPS 13 9300

The fastest way to confirm the model is inside Windows itself. Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter — the System Model field will read "XPS 13 9300." You can also flip the laptop over and read the Service Tag printed on the bottom panel, then look it up on Dell's support site if you want the original build sheet.

9300 — FHD+ Non-Touch

  • 1920 x 1200 matte display, no touch layer
  • Lighter of the two configurations
  • Longer runtime per charge

9300 — 4K UHD+ Touch

  • 3840 x 2400 glass touchscreen
  • Heavier and slightly thicker than the FHD+ build
  • Larger battery cell to offset the panel's power draw

Prefer a visual check? Look for a webcam sitting in the top bezel rather than the chin (the previous XPS 13 9380 had a bottom-mounted "nose cam"), equally thin bezels on all four sides, and a palm rest finished in either black woven carbon fiber (Platinum Silver exterior) or woven glass fiber (Frost White exterior).

Display & audio

Display

13.4-inch InfinityEdge panel in a 16:10 ratio, offered as a matte FHD+ (1920 x 1200) non-touch display or a glass 4K UHD+ (3840 x 2400) touchscreen. Both use an anti-reflective coating and near-equal bezels on all four sides.

Audio

Stereo speakers positioned on both sides of the keyboard deck, tuned for Waveform Audio, with a dual-array microphone for calls and voice assistants.

Security

A fingerprint reader is built into the power button on select configurations, working with Windows Hello. There is no infrared face camera on this generation.

Ports & connectivity

The 9300 keeps physical ports minimal in favor of thinness, so plan on a dongle if you rely on USB-A or HDMI.

Left side
  • Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C, power delivery + DisplayPort)
  • Headphone/microphone combo jack
Right side
  • Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C)
  • microSD card reader

Battery, build & more

Battery

Capacity varies with the display configuration — the 4K UHD+ touch model ships with a larger cell to offset its higher power draw. Both charge over a Thunderbolt 3 port.

Dimensions & weight

Compact 13.4-inch footprint, coming in under three pounds in the FHD+ non-touch build and slightly heavier with the 4K touch panel.

Finishes

Platinum Silver exterior with a black woven carbon fiber palm rest, or Frost White exterior with a woven glass fiber palm rest.

Software

Shipped with Windows 10 Home or Pro depending on configuration, and eligible for the free upgrade path to Windows 11 if it was kept updated.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter — the System Model field will confirm "XPS 13 9300." The same window lists installed RAM under Installed Physical Memory. For processor and storage, open Settings → System → About for the chip, and File Explorer → This PC for drive capacity. The Service Tag on the bottom panel also works if you want to cross-reference the original build against Dell's support site.
02 How do I tell it apart from the XPS 13 9310?
Check the processor generation first. The 9310 that followed a few months later uses 11th generation Tiger Lake chips and Thunderbolt 4, while the 9300 is strictly 10th generation with Thunderbolt 3. Both look nearly identical from the outside, so msinfo32 or Settings → System → About is the reliable way to separate them rather than judging by appearance alone.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a cracked screen, weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes, condition options above cover cracked screens, poor battery health, and units that won't power on, with the offer adjusting to match. Before shipping, sign out of your Microsoft account and remove the device from it, and if BitLocker was ever enabled, suspend or disable it if the laptop still boots. A device that's still locked to an account it can't be verified against will affect what we can offer.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Configuration and cosmetic condition move the offer more than anything else. An i7 build with 16GB of RAM and a larger SSD outvalues an i3 with 4GB, since neither can be upgraded later. Beyond that, a screen free of cracks or dead pixels, a battery that still holds a reasonable charge, and having the original charger on hand all keep the quote higher. Heavy scuffing on the carbon fiber palm rest or a chassis that's been visibly bent will pull it down.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose to remove everything. Before you start, go to account.microsoft.com and remove the device from your Microsoft account, and if BitLocker encryption is on, suspend it so the reset completes cleanly. Once the reset finishes, the laptop is ready to ship. Shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full steps, including how to confirm the wipe took effect, are in our data erasure protocols.
