You could opt for a USB external keyboard and use that with the Dell xps13.
Personally I don't find the issue of the speech cutting out to be a big
deal as noted by Adam Morris.

Hi Mary and all,
I have a dell xps13.
After a restart or start from shut-down the speech and sometimes music
files will stutter.
After a few minutes it seems to fix itself.
It's slightly annoying but not a deal breaker.
I realise as well that some of the other Dell's like the 15 inch have
a numeric pad but I'd rather use the laptop layout or sometimes an
external keyboard rather than the bigger machine.

I am considering the purchase of a Dell XPS 13 laptop. I have heard
remarks on other list about problems with the waves Max audio and
screen readers, particularly regarding speech being cut off. That
would not be something I would be willing to live with, so I wonder
if people have experiences with this particular laptop. Also, I
strongly dislike laptop layouts. Therefore, where I to get any
laptop, I would want to purchase an external number pad. I know that
in the past, many of those external pads did not do well with the
desktop screen reader layout. They were fine for entering numbers if
that’s all you wanted to do, but not so great if you wanted to use it
so that you could have a desktop layout on your laptop. Are there any
currently recommended number pad the people are using with jaws and a
laptop to enable them to use the desktop layout?
