- Reviewing the Dell XPS 13 9310, a 2020 laptop refresh featuring Intel's Tiger Lake 11th Gen processor. This sleek ultraportable is taking on Apple's Macbook Air and Pro 13, boasting serious creative smarts with a skinny design. I've been testing the Dell XPS 13 9310 with gaming, video editing and other demanding tasks - and here's my final verdict vs the older 9300.
Check out my review of Dell's previous gen notebooks to see how the older versions stack up vs this Tiger Lake model. I'm hoping to test out the new 2-in-1 model soon too, for a proper comparison.
The main update here is the performance, thanks to that Tiger Lake platform. I found I could happily indulge in creative tasks like video and photo editing, while games that aren't too demanding also ran just fine.
That slender lightweight chassis is still highly portable, so you can carry the Dell XPS 13 9310 all day no worries. The FHD resolution keeps visuals sharp while the accurate colour reproduction is also great for creatives. So this laptop is perfect for entertainment as well as professional tasks.
So while it's not cheap, the XPS 13 is one of my favourite ultraportables heading into 2021.
that rawr got me.
I've vowed to introduce every Tiger Lake video that way, for better or worse...
@@TechSpurt no
@@TechSpurt raaaawwwrrrrrrrrrrr
Absolutely love your review! I have an old XPS and still loving it. But it's getting old and I've been looking for a new XPS because the experience is just unbeatable!
Same. I purchased the xps 13 when it came out for the first time 6.5 years ago. Still working but getting a little old. Thinking of getting a new one soon. AND yes, the experience is unbeatable.
@@jsleejr87 I have like two questions regarding the build quality since you seem to be a long term user.
1: Are the screen hinges strong? I have had like 3 laptops from different brands and all of them started giving problems from the hinges so it becomes my major concern whenever I look for a laptop.
2: How are the palm rest, touchpad and keyboard's key surfaces? Do they wear out? If they do, how long did it take before you noticed the worn out marks?
I currently am looking forward to buy a MacBook Pro M1 version but the XPS 13 is wandering around my mind like crazy as well so not quite sure what to do.
Ok the rawr just made my entire day - breaks up the monotone drudgery of usual tech videos, thanks dude :D
"Alright lads, just dropped nearly 2 grand on this Dell laptop." *Starts eating Donor and chips over it*
I've just bought a new one to replace one I'd had for four years, and which was beginning to show signs of failing. I'm very pleased with it so far. One small improvement I've noticed, is that the the gap between to top and the bottom, which used occasionally to pinch the flesh when the machine was being opened, has been re-designed to stop this happening. Recommended.
The attack on titan wallpaper!!
I know right, they've got some great ones at wall.alphacoders.com
Intel has held the laptop segment back for over a decade. Technogly, especially mobile tech, has advanced so much over the past 10 years that laptops like these XPS, as great as they are, should start at $700 and not $1000. AMD coming in providing a cheaper alternatives is a good step I guess.
thanks for the great review! the wallpaper of Levi is just the besttt, hope you're enjoying the fourth and final season of attack on titan :)
Great review, mate - thanks! I bought the 9310 over the holidays (touchscreen). I've spec'd it w/the I7, 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD. HD+ is very nice; the 16 X 10 display 1920 by 1200 is crisp, sharp, and bright. I don't think a UHD 4K for a 13" laptop is necessary -- the HD+ is extremely nice for this size. Windows Pro. Not using many Apps - MS Office Pro 2019, and a couple of Adobe Apps (Ps and Lr). I've decided to not use Pr on this laptop, because I like more real estate with a couple of dual monitors for my video projects.
I also got a Logitech MX Master Bluetooth mouse, because I can't edit my photos with just the trackpad. My only knock was I wish this had more ports, but I guess to get the size and footprint to be this small, they had to limit the ports. And, the lack of a full size SD card reader is disappointing. Otherwise, I'm really enjoying this machine. The laptop is very sleek - looks nice, and has great build quality. I hope to be using this machine for years to come. Again - great review, thanks! -Rusty
Do you have any issues with the XPS getting too hot or overheating? About to purchase the 9310
How is it going bro?
The king of similes! Great review, as entertaining as ever.
Always great gadget reviews. 📲💻
Sadly still Intel. Would love to see XPS laptops with Zen 3 Cezanne. Especially the XPS 17
Tigerlake is better if not equal. Zen 3 mobile wont be better from what we've seen, equal or slightly worse.
@@najeebshah. AMD Ryzen is blowing Intel away in both the PC aswell as the mobile market. Where did you get your info from lol?
@@DBZHounourit seems you haven't seen all thr tigerlake ipc videos, including this one lol
Maybe the next ryzen mobile chip with usb 4 support aka thunderbolt
I have the 9300 and it is the best laptop I have ever owned
Still good?
Too dear, seeing that for under $1,400 you can get the same internals plus QHD display and 960 gram weight from the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Carbon. Oh, and it also comes with a bundle USB-C dock and lifetime Office Home & Student.
Great review! Do you feel like the full hd screen would be good enough to edit photos and some (4k) videos on? Or would it give a big benefit to have an ultra hd (4k) screen?
Please review MSI Modern B4M 14 ryzen 5 4500u amd laptop
Nice but too expensive. I've got an Acer Aspire 3 for under £400 and it's good enough for everything.
I have the 1.000 bucks Version
Ryzen 7 gen 3750 and the Gtx 1650
@@averagegamer9162 no one asked 😂
Yep, those Acer Aspires are great for everyday stuff, tend to last for ages too
@@2_SS1 on what you play games PC
I dont usually leave comment on CZcams, but i think EVERYONE should know that xps 9310 model with UHD/4k screen will not work HDR at default 60 Hz. Screen will flicker intensely. Everyone on xps 13 Forum experienced the same issue without any hope for resolution. You must manually reduce the display refresh rate to 48 Hz. Dell support claims its software issue and no real solution yet, aside from email to contact their software support for $99.
Great video ❤️
Also as a side note did u do an adn test i think there is some chinese in u
Dell giving me a lead time of next May 😒 for maxed out version, probably an error on their side
Thanks for the video! How will it do with some lite 4k editing?
Even real tigers are afraid of that rawr
xps would be so nice if they made under 1000 dollars
Sure
My gaming Laptop frome Acer was for 1000 Dollars xd
Nice Mikasa’s wallpaper
Great review! :)
The new MacBook Air M1 decimates all at a lower price and like a ninja completely silent.
Ps the MacBook Air has amazing battery life
Got to admit, as someone who never liked Macbooks and MacOS, the new Air and Pro are possibly changing my mind...
@@TechSpurt it's weird how Apple just suddenly came out with this chip out of nowhere init. I mean look at all the years macbooks have been out and apple never brought anything to the table in regards to their laptops like they did with the iPhones. Just seems like there's a reason apple brought out this chip now, and the way their prices are slowly dropping conveniently
@@TechSpurt run windows on it
@@questionthis4417 cuz apple was basically at the mercy of intel for like a decade and had just enough and took what they learned from making iPad and iPhone cpus to make the M1 cpu and now they rule the ultrabook market like that!
@@bryanmiller476 from the day apple released the first iPhone it was clear they were going to dominate the tech market and now so many years later they have taken over the laptop market too
Love the desk! How can I find it?
Moving backslash "\" to the left of letter Z and making the "Enter" button occupy the original place of backslash is a deal breaker and very frustrating for me. I should stick to my Dell XPS 8th gen.
"No louder than a hamster's bowl movements"! hahahaha
I just got the touchscreen version and it constantly overheats and freezes.
liked for hamsters' bowel movements sksksks
4:04 - "no single row return key" - where do you euros put the backslash\pipe key. I could not code on that keyboard
Hey bro,I am in a trauma trying to decide if to buy the hp spectre 14(2021) or this laptop.But the reason why I am more of thinking to buy the spectre is that it has a USB port for thumbdrives..Is there a way you can get a thumbdrive port in the fell xps 13 too?
The new 11th gen EVO now comes in i5 and i7
How much? I'll stick with my tab S7+. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.
Cheers Dave, you too!
XPS 13 or X1 Carbon?
X1 by a huge margin IMHO, try and find an XPS over a year old that hasn't had the battery or keyboard replaced or some other major issue. The X1 on the other hand will be kicking around your office 10 years later. These day-0 reviews of the XPS line are always glowing.
@@erasmuz1 Neither. I'll take Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Carbon instead for under $1,400.
Is it a bad idea to buy from Amazon "refurbished"? Now called "renewed"? Is this risky? Thanks
its mikasa on the wallpaper?
yeah
If you own a business and have dealt with laptop issues in the past, $2,000 doesn't take long to pay off in time saved... 1 month maybe and it's tax deductible.
Looking to get one
whats that accent, are you scottish ? : ) always nice to hear
I just got one and mine was plagued with black screen issues. Disappointed
I'm a student...should I go for this or the m1 macbook air?
M1 MacBook Air. Hands down.
If you can get the MacBook Air M1 defo defo defo get it over any other laptop. Even if the other laptop is a full spec gaming laptop... The Air will be faster smoother better graphics etc and completely silent plus best battery life over most laptops to date
It depends on what do you study, if u are at secondary school (14-19 years old) just go for a tablet. If you are a uni student and doesn't study engineering you can go for a 500€ pc from Acer, hp or asus. If you are studying engineering, i suggest the 15" dell inspiron or xps. DON'T GO FOR MAC, most of the ing programs doesn't run on it
@@questionthis4417 how long does the battery last?
@@critolloi99 so better a windows device for programming
Ngl this is kinda pricey lol. Been checking out the Huawei matebook 14. Any good?
where'd you get that Mikasa wallpaper?
Apple MacBook air/ pro M1 will end this series..
Basically yes cuz now XPS are now instantly $500 overpriced
Hi, is the dell xps 13 9310 compatible with dell power manager ? because on dell's site, it seems not. Thanks
Best chennal for everyone.
Bottom-facing speakers are a deal-breaker for me.
Cool laptop 😎
How is touchpad?
That is a sweet desktop picture at 1:31 - where is that from, does anyone know?
I don't have the wallpaper, but she's Mikasa Ackerman from the anime Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin). Meet me halfway and paste the link to the wallpaper after you find it haha. Cheers!

Dedicate your heart ♥️✊

🤩 My dream laptop Dell XPS, but I can't afford. 😅
Go with hp spectre. Same specs hp is about $300 cheaper.
@@narikaba439 buy one in the outlet
Link?
What version of doom was showed in the video?
That's Doom 2016, I thought Eternal might be an ask too far...
@@TechSpurt Thank you!
Heard this thing gets very hot, any experience of that?
Yea for mine at least the surfaces get hotter than a lot, but not too bad where it burns, but the CPU itself doesn’t run too hot
Have you used a single MHA picture in all this time of putting anime on your tech?
Sadly not, haven't seen it yet. Hoping to have a proper marathon of all the series I've got on the list over Christmas, although I also need to fit in some serious drinking...
Thumbs up if you just skipped ahead to the gaming benchmark section lol
For 1700 bucks it should be touchscreen too
it is
Can i play call of duty warzone on dell xps?
Unless you want a cooking stove
any news about the 15" with intel 11 gen version?
It's 15". That's the only difference.
Yeah i đi drop close to 2k usd and yes, i start go for instant noodles for it too, lol
Dude plz give me one of it coz I really like it and I will love to watch anime in that 😘, btw love ur reviews on the devices 😁
Anyone else having issues with the screen flickering and blacking out when mid use? I have the 9310 and I'm getting very irritated dealing with this.
Could any tech folks help me please!
So he do review of laptops to good.
No oled?
4:35 😳😆
Great review as always, however, you may may want to put a rated M for mature at the beginning, those John Wick and Doom videos are pretty gnarly 😉
I am indian your videos daily watched bro
Sexy laptop? 😂

Redet Zuviel!
Had this on order...cancelled it after waiting a month for it to ship and will be buying a MacBook instead 😂
