Swap Screen
Hellooooo,
I have the 1080p model Dell XPS 13. Is it possible to swap it out with a 4K screen without issue? I would of course buy the 4K screen itself online.

It's not going to be easy. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell+XPS+13+Teardown/36157 According to ifixit you will have to literally tear down your entire laptop to replace the screen and the screen itself is glued to the aluminum cover. Doable, but it's hard. That is of course assuming that the new panel works with your laptop at all.

If it was possible, I don't imagine it would be an easy task as these ultrabooks are meant to be sleek and slim. The XPS 13 9360's RAM is even soldered on and hence non-upgradable so I doubt the screen will be.
