Known Issues & Fixes
| Issue | Solution / Fix |
|---|---|
| Some users reported the invisible/edge-to-edge haptic trackpad (carried over from the XPS 13 Plus design) taking time to get used to, since it lacks visible borders. | Not a defect; a design characteristic shared across the redesigned XPS lineup, and haptic feedback intensity can be adjusted in settings. |
| A number of users with the discrete RTX 4050/4060 configuration reported shorter battery life compared to the integrated-graphics-only models. | Not a defect; an inherent tradeoff of including discrete graphics, mitigated by using Windows' battery saver / integrated-graphics-only mode when not gaming or rendering. |
