InfinityEdge Touchscreen — Immersive and Responsive

This refurbished Dell XPS 13 9380 is equipped with the InfinityEdge touchscreen display — Dell’s near-borderless design that delivers an immersive 13.3″ viewing experience in a chassis barely larger than an A4 sheet of paper. Responsive touch input adds intuitive navigation alongside the keyboard and precision touchpad, making it straightforward to scroll documents, zoom into spreadsheets or navigate presentations by hand.

Dual Thunderbolt 3 — Maximum Connectivity in a Minimal Chassis

The XPS 13 9380 features two Thunderbolt 3 ports, each supporting 40Gbps data transfer, dual 4K display output and USB Power Delivery charging. A third USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port also supports DisplayPort and charging, so all three ports can power the laptop. The XPS 13 is compatible with a Dell Thunderbolt dock for full desktop connectivity via a single cable. There is no USB-A, HDMI or Ethernet port built in, so a USB-C adapter is recommended for legacy peripherals and wired networking.

Whiskey Lake Core i7 — 8th Gen Quad-Core Performance

The Intel Core i7-8565U is an 8th generation Whiskey Lake quad-core processor with Turbo Boost up to 4.6GHz, delivering responsive performance across everyday and professional workloads. Paired with 16GB of soldered LPDDR3 RAM and a fast 256GB SSD, multitasking across large spreadsheets, multiple browser tabs, video calls and creative applications is smooth and fast, and Intel UHD Graphics 620 covers everyday visual tasks including video calls and light photo work.

Backlit Keyboard and All-Day Portability

The English QWERTY keyboard is backlit as standard on this model, keeping it usable in dim meeting rooms, on evening flights or at a desk with the lights down. At approximately 1.27kg, the XPS 13 9380 remains genuinely portable for a laptop of this build quality, making it easy to carry between meetings, in and out of a bag daily, or on regular commutes and flights. The internal 52Wh battery is designed to comfortably cover a typical working day of documents, browsing and video calls for most users.

Who Is This For?

The refurbished Dell XPS 13 9380 Touchscreen is the ideal choice for professionals and executives who want Dell’s finest premium ultrabook with touch input, frequent travellers who need maximum portability without compromising on performance, and anyone who wants the XPS 13 premium experience at a refurbished price. The dual Thunderbolt 3 ports make it a sensible choice for buyers who already use a Thunderbolt dock or external 4K display.

Not ideal for: buyers who rely on USB-A, HDMI or built-in Ethernet daily — this model is Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C only, so adapters are needed for legacy peripherals and wired networking. Gaming, video editing or other GPU-intensive work is also better suited to a laptop with dedicated graphics, since the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 is built for everyday productivity. Buyers who specifically need more than 16GB of RAM should also look elsewhere, since the memory is soldered and fixed at purchase on this model.

Typical Use Cases

This configuration suits business travel, client meetings and hybrid working where portability and premium build quality matter as much as performance, plus everyday office work including documents, browsing, email and video calls. The touchscreen is a genuine convenience for reviewing PDFs, annotating documents or navigating presentations by hand, while the Thunderbolt 3 ports suit anyone who docks at a desk with an external monitor or fast external storage. It also works well as a lightweight secondary machine for professionals who already own a desktop workstation but want a genuinely portable laptop for travel days.

Refurbished vs New at This Price Point

Dell has moved on to newer XPS 13 generations, and the 9380 is no longer sold new — there is no genuine current equivalent to compare directly. Why pay £££ for new? A current XPS 13 with comparable build quality costs substantially more than this certified refurbished unit. Buying refurbished from Technology Core gets you genuine Dell premium build quality, tested and warrantied, at a fraction of any current equivalent’s price.
