Dell XPS 13 vs HP Spectre X360 - Ultrabook Laptop BATTLE!
Vložit

- Dell's XPS 13 and the new HP Spectre X360 are two of the thinnest, most compact laptops on the market. But the Spectre X360 has a unique trick up its sleeve: it can also be used as a tablet. But is that feature useful or is a thin and light notebook like Dell's XPS 13 a better option?

Lol @ Dimitri's Ad
f266101463 does that mean that there is a cooler master fidget spinner
His ads are always awesome
I personally absolutely NEED a 2-in-1 device because as a student, I want to take hand-written notes / draw sketches and diagrams.
Wish more manufacturers did that, especially given a 360 degree hinge doesn’t really compromise the rest of the (laptop) user experience.
I really fucking love how you do ads, so much quality I even rewatch them everytime xD good job Dmitry!
Dmitri?
Dymitree? /o\
The first try is correct 😎
Dmitry did the ad
2-in-1s would be so much better if they had a cover for the keyboard.
Maybe a magnetic plate which could fit behind it if using the keyboard
@@GuilhermeBianeck Magnet? by your hard drive?
S us a n Ba l d win it’s an ssd, Solid State Drive
Holy shoot 20 minutes. You guys really went all out on this review.
Dell needs a new logo refresh.
Dell gives 0 fuck about it's logo
Lol
Ethan Sanchez Turn it upside down.
LLED
Nah the logo looks great
more like a website refresh
Those B-Roll shots are incredible!!! Congrats!!
Perfect timing, I was JUST looking for a video like this!!
The new model Dell has a better, twin fan cooling design as opposed to the older models single fan cooling solution. PCWorld found that the new model i5 actually performs better than old model i7, simply because it can keep clock speeds consistently higher due to the better cooling
First of all, you offer one of the first CALMER reviews I've seen- I'm tired off being screamed at through the screen or having my eyes try to follow whatever over the top hand gestures and dramatic video editing these reviews tend to have 🤦🏾♀️
Secondly, your voice is so calming 💁🏾♀️🤗
Lastly, great review- I'm not familiar with laptop specs or electronic specs to be honest- but this made it so much easier for me to navigate.. thank you for using a laypersons vocab 😍
I'm watching a lot of 2in1, so many reviews in the cons said that would be better a SD reader, finally you gave a useful tip for using the micro SD card reader! Thank you!
Nice detailed review dude, I really enjoyed watching your reviews.
I love my x360. Its pretty awesome.
Jeffrey Benzan wait how is the battery life? Is is 2018?
I have the late 2017 13in 1080p model 8th Gen i7 and it lasts me a good 6-8 hours normal use in college. I use it a lot for taking notes, online lectures, and ebooks. If you got a lot of money, the video doesn't mention that the x360 has thunderbolt ports for a eGPU and apparently it works flawlessly (source: linustechtips).
You NEED to create a video about your light setup for shooting the videos! Please, they are awesome!
I really like the 2 in 1. It als good for writing on it and sharing with the team
I remember buying my first laptop back in 2011. The HP ProBook 4530s, this is one of the first laptops I have ever seen which was equipped with a fingerprint scanner. After using this feature for so long on multiple HP laptops I must say I am very excited to see it integrated in many more laptops by a lot of different manufacturers these days.
I've had my spectre i7 for about a year now and most of my office has switched over to them as well. It's top notch build quality and the inclusion of windows hello and dual Thunderbolt makes a huge difference. It's compatible with the HP Elite dock which allows me to plug in a single TB3 cable and power both monitors, ethernet, and usb ports and then also charges the laptop. Honestly one of the best laptops i've used in forever.
I just got the Spectre and the 2-in-1 is really helpful because it saves space, like i cant put anything on the keyboard because it will react to touches, and sometimes i dislike having to reach over the keyboard to get to my screen. it's also really nice for watching videos. i dont know, i really enjoy it as a student and it's very comfortable in my opinion.
Hi, it’s been 10months. How is the laptop doing now?
Great review. However, have you tested the 4k screen version of the x360? ... If yes, how does it perform under 4k video playback?
I really need it to be able to play back 4k 60Hz videos with skipping smoothly and to be able to edit GoPro Hero 6 4k videos on the fly (literally airports :))
Would that be a good idea to get a x360? ... Really like the specs on it.
2in1 is fantastic for when I plug in my own keyboard and mouse. Great for light gaming as I can bring the screen right up to the keyboard without having the laptop keyboard in the way
I think I used the tablet mode on my Yoga once to check it out.. pretty useless but still a great notebook. I do use the touchscreen a lot though. I did recently buy the HP X360 and so far I am very happy. Haven't tried the tent or tablet mode once but it came with a few options that I couldn't find in other models I was looking at.
Which do you prefer the yoga or spectre?
Hey! After 8 months how would you describe your experience with the device?
I'd love to watch a video of you just doing ads lol
That was awesome
Great video and review! Thank you.
Of these two exact models and configs/specs, definitely the HP, overall, wins imo.
As to your other question, I prefer the flexibility of a 2-in-1 even though I may rarely use it in tablet mode, as long as the cost increase is not significant.
damn that ad is like an anime
Great review - very thorough - thanks. I am currently trying to decide between these two models (although I am looking at i7/16GB for both). I have played with the XPS but can't find the Spectre in a nearby store in the UK. It looks as though the latter is made of more premium-feel materials.
I am a graphic designer, so maybe the Spectre is better for me with regards being able to do little sketches on the fly, instead of taking my Wacom with me.
Thanks again.
commenting from dell xps 13
2016 model, used it for 2 years and no issues
Great comparison! My favorite tech channel on CZcams!
Literally just bought the 15 inch version of the hp laptop the day before you posted this video. It is pretty different from the 13 inch model but I'm loving it so far. Went for this as a 2 in 1 because of the ability to use a stylus for drawing and writing. One major problem I've found is how painfully slow the ssd is. I was very surprised at just how bad it can be. Maybe mine is an outlier but I wouldn't be surprised considering the performance
nice review 👍👍.
.
.
But 1 thing is at this range external graphics card could have to be included, integrated graphics is no enough at all. other than built is solid👌.
You can install the Precision touchpad driver on the Spectre x360. It made a huge difference. I'm also using the new Surface Tilt Pen with it.
That is a workaround though. You can also always swap screen for laptops, same reason why they are not featured in reviews.
cl4ster17 hey, do you have a laptop that you don't use that you can give me?
That's good information!
how do you install the precision touchpad driver? is there a good tutorial vid on it?
install is very easy just click install that all
2-in-1's are awesome once you realize all the uses for having a the ability to be write and type.
For professionals and students who need to be able to both write and type, it's a must have. And with the new Office allowing writing right on slides and documents, it's extremely useful.
The exact video I needed! I've been considering both and was wondering which would be a superior laptop.
Which one will you be getting?
-D.
I own the x360 with the i7 8550u and man, I love it. The only thing I struggle with is the heat, it gets quite toasty, but only when charging or taxing the cpu
What about price and weight differences of these laptops ? I think for many these factors are important too to decide which one to buy
Good video review thanks. I think you are missing the point about the 360 hinge. The issue is not the hinge but the touchscreen. If you are using a touchscreen (for drawing, handwriting, using apps, etc...), the 360 hinge is a must to avoid the wobble. If you don’t use a touchscreen, it is useless. Nothing to do with watching videos in tent mode.
I love the way you talks and looks😍😍I wanna be like you..you are a inspiration for me.
Yes! I use a 2 in 1 and I would pick up a two in one. As an engineering student the 2 in 1 is great to draw free body diagrams in Mechanics, physics and other classes. Its also great to just sit down and practice math problems over and over again with out wasting paper. For a student its great.
A few Infos on the HP: you Can install Windows precision Drivers for the touchpad. This brings the Quality of the touchpad to another Level and if you like larger trackpads it is easily the best Option on Windows. Only Problem with the trackpad is, that it is only Held by 2 screws on the top, wich makes it feel a Little loose if you just tap on it. The 360 Mode is probably just good for using the Stylus, but if you are a Student at a University, where they provide PDFs for their lecures it is a gamechanger compared to a regular Ultrabook, just like with a Surface. When it Comes to Sound, it has a built in EQ, which lets you finetune the Speakers to give out even better Sound. When i Comes to the Keyboard the lighting is a bit problematic on the Silver Model. You only have on and off White Backlight. In certain lighting there is no contrast between the White light and the silver key caps, which makes it hard to read. The Black Option is definetely better here. Last but not least: I would get a classic Ifixit toolkit with the 360. HP somehow has a designflaw with the backpanel, where over time the screws loosen just a tiny bit. This may lead to weird squaking noises when operating the device. It Can easily be fixed just by tightening the screws on the back again. Not excellent, but it works and you don't have to cope with HPs horrible Service. (at least in the EU)
Dame that intro is 🔥🔥🔥
Im in love with the 2 in 1 feature? Does anyone else have one and does not actually use the tablet mode or touch screen?
A crazy idea: Use a microSD in an adapter for your camera. HP's oversight isn't a crushing defeat on that front then. (Granted MicroSDs have a bit of a speed reduction but UHS-3 cards exist and you can shoot 4K/60 with those.)
2 in 1s are AMAZING for students. Using one note we can write on PDFs and other documents. We can pretty much not bring any excess papers cause we don't need it. It is also a god send for artists. Photoshop with a stylus on an on screen artwork it helps so much. I wouldn't get a convertible if I wasn't a student that needs to create notes everyday for 4+ years.
I would love to see some Videos about Ryzen Mobile Laptops, especially the HP Envy X360
Does someone know the intro song? This is like the fourth video they've used it in two months and their either don't link it or they actually link three other random songs.
A winner needs to be decided in a battle
In regards to your question about 2 in 1 notebooks, I am actually typing this on one and using it as my daily driver. It makes consuming content like CZcams and Netflix a lot more enjoyable, and the weight (mine is 2.7 lbs or 1.2 kgs) feels a lot more manageable than my old iPad (3rd gen).
I have the 15” i7 8550 rose gold spectre. It’s great at editing 1080p with color grading and handles 4K okay with lag in playback but it makes due for on the road jobs with its slim feature. The only downside that makes it so beautiful is it’s build. It’s all metal and with such close together parts it heats up real quick and I have a laptop cooler underneath but of course that does almost nothin so the only real downside to the spectre is heat. Amazing computer though!
Man you guys are the best in camera
Ordered the Spectre 13" with i5 today:) It took three days to decide between the XPS, Spectre and Lenovo thinkpad L370 yoga (lenovo was almost 400euros cheaper with nearly identical specs. But the Spectre is so beautiful😨
Aren't you supposed to hold it on your forearm?
Vs a tablet beign held in hand
Would be awesome to see a review on the Vega i7 8th gen HP Spectre 360!
That was a great review! Thank you, I will go with x360 i5 :) tab mode seems to be awesome! Especially when I use laptop while eating something in front of the pc. Don’t need to worry about messing up the keyboard :)
I have an older 15" spectre x360 (just before 8th gen came out :(( ) but I'm a student and use it in tablet mode all the time to write notes in lectures etc and it has been great for that, really saves me time. Both laptops are great though, if a bit pricey.
Only thing I don't like about mine is that I can't upgrade the ram from 8GB so wont last me quite as long
I just want to know the title of the intro song
I have a HP x360 13. Well, it's a limited edition Hewlett Packard branded one with a superb 1440p OLED screen so the screen is far far superior to the ones on the current models. Another thing that is a bit annoying about the current models is the thinner side bezels. The older models like mine have wider bezels which is far more practical when used as a tablet. I use it in tablet mode quite a lot as I like to read, make sketches, take notes or watch videos on flights doing business travels. I'd highly recommend the HP x360, and although the current models aren't quite as good as the older Skylake models (I have compared them) they're still among the very best business traveller and professional user laptops on the market with the huge bonus of being a convertible so you don't have to carry around a tablet as well. For a gamer or student where premium feel and looks might not be a relevant parameter there are cheaper alternatives that fits the bill better. Cheers.
EDIT: forgot to mention. The older Skylake models does not have USB C (which is useless to me anyway) But has 3x USB 3.0 type A, full insertion full size SD card reader (a must for me), and both mini display port and HDMI outputs which pretty much covers all connectivity uses when doing conference calls or making presentations to a larger audience. The speakers is far worse on the older models though but I design headphones for a living so I have that part covered pretty well and never use the internal speakers.
Samsonite Dove what are the alternatives for students?
HP has the Envy and Pavilion lines that also have convertibles, and not necessarily spec'ed much lower.
As a student who has to do a ton of online reading, the convertible function of 2-in-1's definitely makes sense.
I picked the HP Spectre x360
Snehit A did you get the one with the Radeon
RamaDon The 13 inch doesn't come with radeon. I have intel uhd 620
do u know how to turn off the hp stylus?
hows the gpu on the laptop is it good for gaming?
Does it get pretty hot?
I would love to see a quick breakdown on upgrade possibilities for storage and RAM on notebooks like these!
Nice review, wish it was like for like though, i5 vs i5
What is that intro song?
You did not mention how the fingerprint sensor works on both models... Should someone worry if the HP´s sensor is on the right side when the Dell´s one in under the keyboard?
I am looking an the Hp x360 envy w/ a r5 mobile chip as a art and light gaming pc on the go.
You should have compared the i5 and i7 variants for each models, as there would be a difference in their thermals which can affect their performance. I thought this video was a bit biased, but overall great video.
Did you also sense the wobbly display on the x360`?
Hai,i would like to ask,between HP Compaq 6710B and Dell Latitude D830 ,who the best? (quality ,system,)
"you don't see it...using it in tablet mode..." I have HP spectre x360, it's great in tablet mode, when doing art works using hp n-trig active stylus pen.
How do the ;power adapters compare in weight and packability?
Saw this video like 5times. I'm buying a laptop for about 1000$ and these 2 along with surface pro 2017 are in the top 3 of my list. I'm a student and so prefer a pen input(this is the first time I will be using it). I prioritize battery and compact form factor. Kindly give your thought on this. I will be eagerly waiting for your reply. Thanks for the great content. I'm open to any other new device too and willing to wait for one more month as well.
i really like your watch .....can you tell me what model is that
It seems you're on speaking terms with cooler master. Tell them to return steves calls!
I got the Spectre x360 (15") because I wanted a laptop for college where I can handwrite my notes if I want to.
How do you find handwriting your notes? I'm thinking of either a 13 inch or 15 inch convertible, but I don't know if I should go for the portability of 13 inch or if I would greatly appreciate the size of a 15 inch screen for writing my notes.
What people needs to realize about 360 2-in-1 laptops is that they provide many options to users when compared to a standard laptops.. You don't necessarily needs to use them in "Tent" or "Tablet" mode, but these features are THERE when you needed them.. Not to mention the useful pen input features that 2-in-1 laptops provide..
that hp is so beautiful,i'm definitely buying it as my next laptop,it reminds me of my lovely yoga,but the slimmer bezels on the XPS
Nice video Eber!
The intro is lit, but that ad. Cooler Master should hire Dimitri to make ads for cases he have positive reviews on and put them on CZcams. That poor glass though, I hope you didn't have water on your electronics, they seems to be everywhere in your place.
Is it me or is the intro kinda longer than usual? Almost 2 minutes. This is a more complicated comparison than just 2 clampshell or 2 flipbooks though.
That fingerprint sensor is there for use in tablet mode, though in tent mode it kinda still sucks. Could use a mention.
Well I've seen poeple using flipbooks in tablet mode in railways or buses, and Dave just showcased a use case of tent mode gaming with external keyboard and mouse. For gaming a proper mech keyboard definitely makes a difference. Esspacially wireless keyboards, like the K63. Love that thing, both as a on-the-go board or secondary board.
By not bright enough, do you mean the keyboard is actually not visible in a not totally dark, like a single lamp over the room type of dark scenerios? It is hard to imagine a keybaord to be not bright enough. Though I don't have them on anyway.
Well it sucks that ultrabooks are having less and less ports on them, but wireless is kinda getting there. Wireless mouses and keyboards with both dongle and bluetooth is getting both better and more affordable. Audio is tricky though.
I really like flipbooks, and I've been holding on for a flipbook like the Acer Nitro Spin 5. It is really hard for me to type on a rubberdome keyboard like stock Dell or Lenovo ones, so I carry my K63 around, and a mouse. It works wonders with these flipbooks.
Finally someone points out one of the major problems with HP laptops: their keyboard. It feels sturdy but I hate it. Especially the arrow keys. They have the same arrow keys for gaming laptops as well. Thank you for pointing it out. They need a keyboard like Lenovo Y700.
CREATIVITY LEVEL STARLORD
Which one is better for editing youtube videos
Anyone knows the wallpaper of the dell in the thumbnail?
holy shit the cooler master handspinner i'm dead of laugh XD
6:00 yeah that's the only reason I choose 2 in 1 s over macbook pro.
Which one should I buy I want 8 gb of ram and more than 550 space
I love that 2 in 1 design....
Hey mate. Plenty of people use micro SD card reader to extend storage as well as quickly get their phone pics on the computer. Non photograph prefer a micro SD for sure.
Good review, but your really should use laptops with similar specs for more accurate results.
You should have mentioned if either laptop was throttling under load. The Spectre may have ran lower because it throttled.
What are those wallpapers?
Great video! Subscribed
Can i connect a egpu with this intel-amd combo chip ?
Why is it using a Mac OS X wallpaper?
I use only micro sd storage for music and a macro converter for using in car.
Dat Dimitri Intro is Lit
what phone do you use as your daily driver?
what was that track at the beginning??
hey, can you pls give credit to the person who created the intro music?
Interesting. All benchmarks I have seen so farshow a maximum of a 10-15% performance increasefor the 8th gen Intel processors.
I want to ask a question can it run games which requires graphic card cause I want to buy it for my graphic desiging work and also for gaming cause I can't carry my PC every where
The 2in1 convertibles are good for work, not so much for the home user IMO... Imagine that you''re working and need to present something to a costumer (in real estate or high business areas), rather than having a tablet + a pc and needing to copy files between them, just have it on tablet while presenting and use it on laptop mode while creating the documents
what's the watch on your hand
What amazing B Roll shots. Ever I’m starting out with a Sony HDR-PJ675 and an normal tripod, how do you suggest I start? Thanks and keep up the amazing work!
