What owners single out
Keyboard design complaints from buyers align with video reviewers' concerns about key placement and the Copilot key replacing traditional controls.
In their words
“The evolution of laptops from bulky, heavy, clunky and slow to this sleek, light, stylish and ThunderBolt 4 fast Dell XPS 13 9350 Laptop with smart Copilot Artificial Intelligence (AI) is truly amazing.”

“Row of buttons on top is stupid, power button location is weird, some keys are bigger than needed and other keys could have fit if certain ones weren't so wide. Its also stupid to have the Ubuntu configuration missing a control key in favor of the copilot key. The lack of space between keys and the unmarked touchpad were very easy to get used to.”
