'XPS 13 Plus' arrived in a black box.
In the box, 'XPS 13 Plus' was stored in a black cloth bag.
The contents of the box look like this. From the top left, 'XPS 13 Plus' main unit, charging adapter, charging cable, USB Type-C cable for charging, conversion connector between USB Type-C and USB Type A, conversion cable between USB Type-C and audio, and explanatory documents.

The back side looks like this. There are slits on the left and right, and rubber pads are attached on the top and bottom.
There are no buttons on the front.
There is only a hinge on the back.
It looks like this when opened. It is characterized by a very narrow space on the left and right of the display frame and keyboard. Also, the palm rest (bottom part of the keyboard) part and the trackpad part are seamlessly connected without a boundary.
There is one USB Type-C port on the left side. Also, you can see that the top of the key top and the part other than the keyboard are flat.
There is also a USB Type-C port on the right side.
The 'XPS 13 Plus' does not have an earphone jack, but it comes with a USB Type-C and audio conversion cable, so you can connect wired earphones. However, connecting earphones will fill up the USB port, which is already scarce, so it is better to prepare wireless earphones.
The dimensions of 'XPS 13 Plus' are 15.28 mm in height × 295.3 mm in width × 199.04 mm in depth, and when A4 copy paper is placed on top, the main body is barely visible.
It is almost the same size as A4 copy paper, so it can be easily stored in a bag that supports A4 documents.

In addition, the combined weight of the charging adapter and charging cable is 1493g. When carrying 'XPS 13 Plus', you will carry the weight of about 3 plastic bottle drinks.
◆ 3: I touched the touch type function key & integrated touch pad
The keyboard of 'XPS 13 Plus' looks like this. The key layout is similar to the basic Japanese layout, except that the function keys are touch-type. However, it may take some people to get used to it because the ``application key'' that can use the same function as right click is unified to ``right Ctrl'' or ``right Alt'' does not exist. .
The width of the alphabet keys is about 19mm. Since enough width is secured, it seems that you can type comfortably if you get used to it.
At the top of 'Enter' is a power button equipped with a fingerprint authentication function.
When you turn on the power, touch-type function keys appear above the numeric keys.
By default, the touch-type function keys are lined with volume adjustment keys and brightness adjustment keys, and you can call F1 to F12 keys by pressing 'Fn' on the keyboard.
If you want to set the F1 to F12 keys to the standard state, press 'Fn' and 'Esc' at the same time.
In addition, the keyboard is equipped with a backlight, and you can switch off, on (weak), and on (strong) by pressing the backlight adjustment button in the touch function key. You can check how the brightness of the keyboard backlight is actually switched in the following movie.
A motor is installed in the trackpad integrated with the palm rest, and when you push it, the motor drives and you can feel 'a clicky feeling like pressing a button'. The width of the trackpad ranges from 'no conversion' on the keyboard to 'katakana/hiragana'. You can't see the boundary between the rack pad and the palm rest, but the width is sufficiently wide, so if you aim at the center of the palm rest, you won't be able to touch the track pad but it won't respond.
