In real world tests, the Dell XPS 15’s Intel Core i7-13700H chip handled multitasking like a champ. Not even 75 Google Chrome tabs, a mix of Google Docs, Sheets, Presentations with several YouTube and Twitch channels running in the background could make it flinch. The laptop showed no signs of slowing down.
