  • Dell's 2018 XPS 13 (9370) fixes a lot of things we didn't like about last year's model. Here is why the new XPS 13 is still one of the best 13-inch premium Ultrabooks you can buy, as well as where it falls short. See at Dell: thrifter.com/syIj

    I've been searching around watching reviews on this XPS 13 and I really like how you explained things more clearly to those ( like me) who don't know a lot about computers spec's. Your review sold me on this laptop, so I will be pick it up tomorrow. Thanks for the info and 👍 up, and subscribed to the channel

    The Dell connect app just sold my son on this laptop. I have a Surface Pro 4 i5 which is nice. The XPS 13 will be for my son going off to college in 2018. Thanks for review!

    Really awesome review, probably the first one (first time for me) I saw this Dell Connect app, brilliant idea.

    Nice job on the review. Watched it, ordered same day. Laptop exactly as described. Everything is perfect with 1 exception: the fan; when running under load, the noise is the loudest I have heard on previous XPS laptops: XPS15 L501x, L521x, and now this 9370. That's right - the XPS 15R L521x lasted me 6 years, and it's still fast as of March 2018.

    • @bryanwxup
      @bryanwxup Před 6 lety +1

      by the way the battery when fully charged is still a massive power source to charge other devices while the laptop is off, and coupled with the tiny 45w power adapter charges very quickly.

      Bryan Weatherup how's battery life irl?

    • @bryanwxup
      @bryanwxup Před 6 lety

      Ivan Muchiutti the battery life varies depending on the load. The % stays constant on the desktop tray icon. But the hours of charge ranges from 8 hours to 16 hours. So far in 2 months if use I haven't even thought about battery conservation

      No. Thunderbolt 3 tops off at 40Gbps, which is nearly all used when using one eGPU. Thunderbolt 3 does not have the proper bandwidth. You need next-gen Type-C spec.

    Hello! I'm looking for a new laptop! I've always been a desktop PC user, but due to a new job opportunity portabilit has become a must. I'm trying to decide between the Dell XPS 13 and the MXP by Huawei. I like the design from the XPS a lot better but the MXP's display is just lovely. I'll likely go for the MXP if availability is not an issue when I arrive to the U.S, otherwise I'd go for the Dell. Thing is I'm very concerned about the XPS device. I've been hearing a lot of negative opinions about it, regarding display backlight bleeding, coil whine, device just dying. Reviews for it seem to be more than just positive and brand it as an outstanding machine, but user comments here, and on reddit seem so negative! I'm very worried. Can anyone offer me some counsel?

      It's because of the material. I have the 9360 and I'd really rather have Dell make a full black aluminum colored one rather than using gimmicky materials. I don't mind the extra weight, I do mind the fingerprints, and cheaper feeling for a premium device.
