Couple points you missed: The regular XPS uses Comet Lake, the 2 in 1 uses an more updated architecture in Ice Lake The regular XPS has 3 USB C ports, the 2 in 1 only has 2 The regular XPS has a 16:9 screen, the 2 in 1 is 16:10
I waited so long for this, ended up getting the HP Spectre X360. And then Dell releases this and HP updates the Spectre with precision touchpad and much less bezels.
@Forbidden Knowledge How do you incorporate both iPadPro and a Windows convertible in your work flow? And what exactly is your workflow. I am an academic and also own an iPadPro but i dont know how to justify buying this when I already have the iPad pro.
Man, that is one gorgeous machine! If I was into Windows I would be all over this. It makes zero sense for a retired, homebody, media consumer like me to throw that kind of cash at "pretty" though. Nice review and if I suddenly got a bump up in my bank account, you might have convinced me to at least look at this.
Yeah, I don't know why they even do 16:9. You buy a small computer only to have the screen scrunched down even smaller. And don't get me started on 'wide screen' movies. 🙄
Interested to know the response time of the FHD panel is. The 4K has horrible smearing and I've seen much better FHD screens on HP spectre 2018 models without the ghosting I saw in the 4k XPS. The UK doesnt have high spec FHD models, how's it been for you?
I got mine last week and it is everything it's cracked up to be. I've completely switched to using it as my main workstation, with the Dell TB16 dock and three monitors. The only thing I hate about it is the Dell content aware brightness control - It brightens and dims the screen too much and it is extremely annoying.
Wanted to find a review on the new Inspiron 13 of 14 2 in 1s but can’t any. The only major difference between Inspiron and XPS lineup is mainly the build quality am I correct?
Dell should really add g4 or g7 graphics to the i5 model like the surface laptop 3 13.5 or the lenovo c940 or just add a 10w mx250 and add like 1 or 2 mm cause I don't care about the thickness unless it's over 1.5cm
Guys, I'm going to start Mechanical engineering at Uni next year, and was wondering what kinda 2 in 1 i should buy. Would you guys recommend a Surface Pro 7/X over a 2 in 1 like the Spectre or XPS?
But I'd definitely like to take handwritten notes (digitally) which is why I was leaning towards a Surface Pro. Plus i don't have an endless supply of cash
The Surface Pro 7 has: 3:2 ratio screen Much better cameras (inc rear camera!) with support for Windows Hello Face Lighter Thinner Intel wifi (not Killer) Arguably a better keyboard solution Pen with top eraser function
@@pajx3 This has a real keyboard not a type cover, 100 times better lapability, Wacom pen is 10 times better than Surface pen. Bezels are much smaller here. One doesn't need to be so stubborn.
@@andrethedias I own the 2018 iPadPro and use it daily. I own Surface Pro 4 and also a Cintiq 16 pro. The screen to body ratio on these modern convertible notebooks is amazing.
Siddhartth Pro Tip: if you ask a question and someone provides a straight forward answer do NOT tell them they are being “stubborn”. I’m quite happy to provide an equivalent list of why people might buy the XPS 13 2-in-1 over the Surface Pro 7. But keep your ad hominem comments to yourself please.
The xps lineup is meant to be the premium lineup in terms of build quality similar to stuff like Razer laptops that’s why it’s quite expensive. Also Louie lambretta u can’t blame amd for not making competetive cpus they just 3 gens into the mobile cpu market and their r7s are nearly as good as an i7 8th gen
Surface pro x is all for work. And smaller. Don’t know if size matters to you. But this can do light gaming Netflix. Even stream videos. Pro 7 is more like this but not as fast as it is older
I have the previous 2 in 1 model, and I would argue that there are some trade-offs between the new and the old. The new one is clearly faster, offers better battery life and has a better webcam position. The old one is lighter, and I think that the hinges look better on it, not worse. Also, some people would prefer the taller display and others the shorter. If you don't need the extra power and you don't use the webcam much, I would still recommend it to buyers if you can get it for a discount price.
The keyboard on this laptop is a joke. I wish they'd bring back the same keyboard they used on the XPS 2013 and 2014 models, only then I'll buy a new XPS.
Not sure if this video is a review. This video sounds like a sponsored marketing/sales pitch. I can't believe Dell put a 720p webcam on what is supposed to be a premium laptop. This is 2019 not 2009.
so do Macbooks. But Dell includes up to a 5 year support warranty. But this does mean that you need to commit to your purchase and get at least the 8gb i5
yeah but its a turn from their non 2-1 xps line where there is no soldering, and I am concerned this is a coming trend - just like how companies followed apple to remove the headphone jack.
Its not as powerful as dedicated gpu but the difference between new iris plus and the old Uhd 620 is huge. And i don't know why dell didn't put a dedicated gpu to the normal XPS 13 when they put the comet lake in it.
I could never understand the appeal of 2 in 1s. You’re getting an inferior tablet and an inferior laptop all in one. I feel like it makes more sense to just own a dedicated laptop and a dedicated tablet imo.
1:13 pc makers: oh god its so harrrd, we cant put 20 more pixels in this thing to get at least 1080p, otherwise the bezel would be twice as big! and we deserve big applause for only making it like 2cm thick with a useless camera! phone makers: here, a 4k60fps 32mpx camera with a depth sensor and IR camera next to it on a 2mm notch then we have the badass users: I dOnT nEeD a CaMeRa oN tHiS cUz iT sUcKKKss = pcmakers; oh, users dont care, so we wont either! profit!
Been waiting for this review

XPS 13 Spectre? I missed that Dell/HP collab
I was just thinking that exact same thing...Lol
i think that was a blooper.
Wtf lol
I waited so long for this, ended up getting the HP Spectre X360.
And then Dell releases this and HP updates the Spectre with precision touchpad and much less bezels.
i would have waited for the dell. it has a way nicer design. the new Spectre has slimmer bezels and looks slightly better but it's still fugly
@Forbidden Knowledge Ah, so the XPS has thunderbolt ports? You ain't gonna drive 34-inch curved 4k monitors off of USB-c my friend
Why not surface pro?

Great Video, Loved this review.
I'm good, ordered inspiron 7000 2-in-1 black ed. Instead, 1k cheaper but, a little slower on specs but, its build an quality is superb as.
What are exact thickness of top and bottom bezels?
Wait for the Inspiron 13 2-1 refresh if the costs for this are prohibitive

Where are the 14.5 inch 16:10 bezeless laptops? They would be the size of old 13 inch laptops but with waay more screen.
Isn’t the 2-in-1 using Icy Lake while the traditional has the Comet Lake...?

Someone needs to give the hp spectre x360 more recognition
Definetly.. It is super-tough finding reviews and feedback about it
No mention of heat and fan noise or nits !
How this laptop can be purchased in India.
Spectre for the win !
2:13 Xps 13 spectre ?
Jeesh engadget, give *HP proper credit for making a 13” OLED ultrabook
The standard xps 13 is not using the same CPU. The 2in1 has the ice lake architecture instead of comet lake. (2:30)
Wish they would make a 17inch similar to LG Gram but better specs and better upgradability. These 13 or 15 inches are just to small for my liking
Where to buy in india can u provide me link sir

My 4K touch screen gets 4 hours battery life with battery saver on an dimmed screen. I’m really disappointed. I expected at least twice that.
Got an easy 6+ hours out of of, and not even on battery safer
that 4k display uses 4 times the amount of power as a 1080p display because it has 4 times the amount of pixels id say it sounds pretty accurate
Yeah that's what I get - where the h did they get 14 hours from in the review?
@@stsam63 Do you actually know it uses 4x the power? The pixels are smaller so may use less, also the screen is just one component.
Should I get this or the c940 ?
Guys, I'm going to start Mechanical engineering at Uni next year, and was wondering what kinda 2 in 1 i should buy. Would you guys recommend a Surface Pro 7/X over a 2 in 1 like the Spectre or XPS?
I got myself an iPad Air for studying and note taking and an Asus Zephyrus. I'd recommend iPad + XPS.
XPS or spectre both great choices both are slim and light and have great battery.
But I'd definitely like to take handwritten notes (digitally) which is why I was leaning towards a Surface Pro. Plus i don't have an endless supply of cash
@@Jayakumar So 7 over X?
Based on this review, it looks like the traditional model is still better yet cheaper.
Why would any body want to buy Surface pro x now when you can buy this. The bezels on this make iPad Pro look dated.
The Surface Pro 7 has:
3:2 ratio screen
Much better cameras (inc rear camera!) with support for Windows Hello Face
Lighter
Thinner
Intel wifi (not Killer)
Arguably a better keyboard solution
Pen with top eraser function

Can you charge from both sides?
yeah and thunderbolt from both sides too
Cheaper than Microsoft?
still offering i3 in 2020 what a ripoff.
Blame intel for charging too much for their higher end cpu's, and then blame amd for not making competitive cpu's

I don't believe the 1080 screen supports HDR.
would prefer an AMD cpu.
No nostril camera - excellent!

No way the keyboard is excellent (and I'm a keyboard nerd, I own several mechanical keyboards).
This but with AMD 7nm+
AMD 7nm for mobile Still not out yet
How much? Ha... you can get a gently used Microsoft Surface Book w/ i7 cpu and performance base for that much!!
Dell ruined this machine with the tiny battery. Such a shame.
It starts at £1500 in the UK. No i3 version. We get shafted in the UK. Fucking £1500. Nothing close to £999 like previous versions.
Not sure if this video is a review. This video sounds like a sponsored marketing/sales pitch. I can't believe Dell put a 720p webcam on what is supposed to be a premium laptop. This is 2019 not 2009.
Why can't anyone but Lenovo get the hinges right? They're so ugly on everything aside from the C930 (and the Surface Book, which half counts).
