![Dell XPS 13 (9360) Review [Late 2016 w/ Kaby Lake]](/img/tr.png)
fantastic review! the XPS 13 still reigns supreme.
Cheers champ. My brain hurts trying to rush this out. Next popular product review I do I will shout you out :). Probably XPS 15, MacBook pro or Pixel phone
Sounds good! Will do the same.
+Western Gents United ! 1st'ly thanks for the review and when would xps 15 9560 will be released any idea about it plz reply me !
raghava bhargav I don't think they are going to update the 15 till the next gen of CPUs come out.
im considering this than the new mac book pro line up. fuck that touch bar so useless.
Right on there
Same here
After 15 years running Macs, I'm also considering this XPS 13.
+John Carter Right on champ
do you guys think it is good for video editing? only 8 for the RAM tho...would be nice to have to have 16 no?
Wouw what a laptop maybe for next skool year? :D also the 4k quality of this video finishes it off! super review.
Cheers mate :) have a great day.
I love my new XPS 15 so much, I just pulled the trigger on the new 13" fully loaded! You do a good job of exploiting how great these systems are!
+Patrick DuChene Thanks champ. Great to hear your experience :)
I got my xps 13 today and the calibration is awful it seems like. No where near the quality of the 15 I have calibrated and even after calibration it looks really muted. Is this normal for the 13? Am I expecting too much? It sure doesn't seem to get very bright either. HELP!
I recently chose to buy this over the 13inch Macbook Pro, partly due to your videos, and am very happy with my purchase. Opted for the FHD screen for the extra battery life and I have it attached to a monitor usually anyway, and so far have no real complaints. Subscribed.
+Nikka M Awesome 👏 thanks for your support. :)
Nikka M hey how are you liking it so far? I’m also about to get the FHD display for the battery and am really hoping for a good experience and no coil whine
Patrick Maxwell It's been great. Coil whine really hasn't been an issue (only heard it a few times here and there), and battery is excellent. I only usually need to charge every 2 days (about 8-9hrs use). I really like the matte screen too, prefer it to reflective screens. Only minor problems have been 1 or 2 random errors where Windows hasn't loaded properly, easily fixed with a restart.
Glad you see you've got this already, would love to see you do a video of comparing it to last years model, especially to see how much more battery life.
I pretty much addressed all the differences especially the performance and battery life. Pretty much other than the CPU, and WiFi its pretty much the same.
Yeah I know you did, but you guessed at a few things. Would be nice to do a side by side, might be another video idea for you.
The battery life varies a lot (i7, FHD model). For instance, I get:
*100%-10%, 19h:*
-PDF reading in edge
-occasional browsing
-energy saver on
-minimum screen brightness
*100%-10%, 6-8h:*
- browsing Edge, Netflix, CZcams
- screen at 50% brightness
Fantastic review of the best laptop in the world. The infinity edge screen still hasn't been beaten
+Bangkokian1967 Cheers mate. Yes it's fair to say I love it :)
xps 13 and xps 15 best laptops ever !!
You know it :)
Looking for a good laptop for gaming etc..but this Dell xps looks nice.
Ken Dom Get the Razer Core with it! You'll supercharge it and then be able to play any game!
Reilitas I've heard a lot about this razor core what is it and what does it do?
pol1250 just wish it was bigger 17" but what type of graphics card does it hold as you said it can play any game I want,like Battlefield 1
good footage but dude get a better microphone and add some music or something. at least between subjects. The Blue Snowball mic I heard is pretty good. #nomorewhitenoise Also add important info as words while the video is playing it helps people get the important information without having to decipher what you are saying. #tips
Just took the plunge. Bought a refurbished from Dell. $1399AUD for the same spec in the vid but silver. Can't wait for it to arrive. Was torn
between the 13 and 15 though was the price in the end that made me go for the 13. Thanks for the vid. Your reviews on the XPS series are great.
Awesome , youre gonna love it :)
keep us posted and Tally ho
Hi, man! Where did you bought it? If you bought it from ebay, what about taxes in your country? Give me the link and advice, if I live in Israel. Because here it cost 1800$. And how can I get an international (worldwide warranty)? Thanks a lot for your help, man!
I bought it from the Dell refurbished store in Australia. If you are based in Israel Dell in any other country will not sell to you, only Dell Israel. I did find many Skylake QHD model for around 800 -1000 USD on EBay.
Thanks :-) I am very exited. I have been wanting this Laptop for a couple of years now. I wish I purchased when it first came out as they were much cheaper back when the Aussie dollar was so strong vs the USD. I My Vaio Pro 11 has served me very well but I need a bigger screen for my work building websites. The XPS 13 fits the bill, compact and with that stunning screen. I can expect it in 3-5 days so will let you know how I get on. Keep Up the good work with the channel. You should perhaps have a look at some of the great/cheap Laptops coming out of China and run some reviews. Check www.gearbest.com.
And I just find out that the dell UK store now allows me to order the US layout for the keyboard. This is fantastic!
Lei Wang what's the benefit in ordering the US layout to you? Just interested 😀
As I used US layout since the 1st day so this is quite important to me. I tried UK layout for several times but I just don't like it-it is quite difficult for me to type fast on it . Somehow I have to wait longer for my order as DELL shipped US layout XPS 13 from China
Thanks you for this great review! Can't wait for the 15 inch review, I'm really into XPS / Precision this year!
+Abdul Kublan Thanks mate. Xps and precision are awesome XD
A tech enthusiast AND a watch guy? Now that is awesome!
Oh yes :)
Seriously one of the better XPS 13 reviews (and I have watched about 20 of them). Thank you man.
Do you have a video on how it performs with an external monitor plugged in? Would love see or hear if there are any limitations or performance drops with that.
Ah thanks man. Im trying to get the Dell TB dock in so hopefully I can make a video on that
Thanks for the great review! I'm still using a mid-2012 13" macbook pro but looking to switch back to windows, this xps13 looks like a great replacement. Again, appreciate your honest review.
Cheers mate. #PCMasterRace
Western Gents United #PCMasterRace indeed :D
Edge doesn't have ServiceWorkers... comparing Apples with Oranges there
in Singapore. we only got the i5 model and starting ram is 8gb but it cost S$1.8K. it's pretty pricey but for the quality. I will still pay for that price.
+Kevin Lau It's not cheap but compared to Apple it's a bargain
totally true. specially when the macbook specs are totally out of my league as i do want a more powerful CPU than the M series CPU. specially in the video editing department
You read my mind, the minute the video started I wanted to ask you what watch you are wearing, ..... nice nato you have as well.
Ha ha us Watch nerds. Check out TGV from the urban gentry the watch guru.
Fantastic review mate !
Cheers mate. Have a great day
Great review！I just order the new xps 13 with i5 chip, and I hope the battery life is enough for me as I hate carrying the charger
Thanks champ and let us know how you go when you get it.
Great review! Did you have any problems with the adaptive brightness issue or did they fix it by now?
+TheGiromi I always set manually brightness. I never noticed anything before I changed it though.
I thought you couldnt turn adaptive brightness off or did they change it with this model?
Hi, good review. I followed the link to Dell Aus and the keyboard is an "US internal/international keyboard", evident with the bigger SHIFT key on the bottom left in your video. It seems that you don't have the option to configure it differently in Aus. Personally, I prefer the type in your vid,, makes typing easier when hitting the SHIFT key with my left fingers :)
Yes in Australia we have US keyboards. I freak when Im in the UK and I cant find the @ key
Hi WGU! I finnaly got my XPS 13 and surprise surprise..it has coil whine! Do you have the same issue? Or any solution? It is annoying as I spent a quite big ammount of money. Thanks! BTW, I live in Melbourne too!
Great review.....
For FIFA 17 the onboard graphics must suffice I presume. I intend to play mostly FIFA....
Also will u be reviewing the new Alienware 15 with Pascal graphics ... I can't find any review of it over CZcams...
I'm pondering which laptop to buy from XPS 13,15 and maybe the Alienware 15..
+Hasan Tayeeb That's was football manager. But Fifa is not a heavy title and can be dialed done a bit. Can't wait until Fifa 17. I have been told the Pascal AW are due this month :)
Do you think the XPS 15 models will ever be released with new color options? -The chrome look is beautiful, but would love to see a rose gold or gold finish like that of the XPS 13.
I hope so. Only have to wait one day to see.
Dell XPS 13 with Kaby Lake or 2015 13" Macbook Pro with Broadwell?
Nice review, i really want to get one, do yo know when the new 2017 model will be released?
I guess around November if Cannon lake comes out
I still don't believe in touch screen on a laptop...so I opted for the 1080p screen. I don't have the Kaby Lake version though, I have the early 2016 edition. Best laptop I have owned but I still HATE the intake on the bottom. MacBook doesn't have it and I think every other manufacturer should follow suit. Still, super happy with my XPS, especially the battery life
Cheers mates some valid points there. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for posting :)
👍 nice review, keep it up.
I chose the 8gb model (same as yours) as aussie pricing is steep for the 16gb ram model. In your experience is 16gig a noticeable performance upgrade or just best bet for future proofing?
Yes its expensive here. 16GB for future proofing and if you are going to video edit or play games extra ram is handy. It crashed once on GTA 5 saying not enough memory or something. Its a memory leak in the game I suspect but 8 is fine for normal use.
My XPS 13 is here ! Man its slick and beautifully designed. Never thought i'd say that about a dell but I'm a convert. My only regret is not getting the gold :( , well played sir.Coming from a 17inch there's something special about this form factor. Very happy man
Hey great video! I was hoping you could help me decide, should I get the xps 13 with the 4k screen (mostly specced out), or the xps 15 9560 with 4k. I'm going to be going to college and mostly doing web surfing, notes, and watching a lot of video. Which do you think would be best? Cheers
+ooopiece For your use the XPS 13. There is no 4k model though. If you game at all the only choice is the XPS 15
Where can I find the wallpaper you are using?
Gorgeous review btw! I bought the FHD i7 version. Hoping it is worth it over the i5, and for me ithink longer battery life an matte display is worth the price difference over the QHD+touch.
Yes FHD is more than enough on a 13" laptop. I think I just googled colour wallpaper.
Let us know what you think when you get the XPS 13
Yes I will. Just returned my surface pro 4 i5 4GB, which I didn't like.
I really like your reviews! One question: You tested the "old" late 2015 XPS 15 9550 and there are so many known issues and problems with this device. I had the previous version and had only problems so I had to send it back. And then on the 9550 there were again so many problems (coil whine again, driver issues, ..). Now I'm waiting for the new 2017 XPS 15 and I hope that dell is doing a good job this time after the last 2 one XPS models were such a productional fail. I believe that the Kaby lake xps 13 inch and the 15 inch will be about the same. Are there any bugs on the 13 inch one you tested now? Because if here are the same problems with coil whining and the other stuff, we can assume that the big brother will also have such issues.
Thank you!
I have has two XPS units and none have coil whine. Believe it or not sometimes coil whine can only be heard by young people as the frequency is to high for older people. I once had a monitor that had coil while and no one I returned it too could hear it. My wife could not hear it. My XPS 15 has run perfectly too for over a year now
Does anyone else find they are accidentally rubbing their palms on the trackpad as they type? The position of the trackpad is offset to the right of the space bar resulting in my constant accidental movement of the curser
Hey, when do y'all think the XPS 15 get its own KabyLake refresh? Im curious because I wanna see how much it can improve before buying one. Thanks!
Earliest would be in early 2017; quad core Kaby Lake not due to release from intel until January. XPS 15 refresh likely due out shortly after that.
Great review!
+Han Cheng Cheers mate :)
I m by far not an Apple Fanboy, but your CPU comparison surprises me, as you do not seem to do these videos rarely.
Benchmarks arent everything. May be the Dell's CPU can clock equivalentely for a short time for comparable performance, it sure can't over a longer period of time, as the heat sink won't be able to dissipate the heat fast enough. Throtteling is likely.
Not that a lot of customers need a persistent turbo boost. Just wondering as you should know that, and as you mentioned the apple macbook 2015 being a big chunk of metal, it sure can dissipate the heat better to accomodate a 28W CPU.
+Hubieee I put on cpu stress test over night around 14 hours and the CPU was still 100% usage and running at 3.2Ghz. And I don't even care about benchmarks. I was just saying you could compare the Kaby Lake XPS 13 with a 15W CPU to a 2015 MBP with a 28W cpu in terms of speed.
Simply the best -- very cool and very fast.
Right on xD
I've got a few questions:
Does it use PWM to control screen brightness?
How easy is to replace or upgrade components?
What are the CPU temperatures at full load and overall thermal performance?
+borm91 I think it's a non Pwm. Don't quote me on that. I will look into it. It did not notice any flicker. As for temps it got up to 95C it was a little toasty on the bottom in the middle of the vents. Nothing to bad and the fan noise was was not the quietest or the loudest.

95 celsius is quite a high temperature. I have a Sony Vaio Z13 which in summer shuts down unexpectedly because surpasses 100 ºC. On Asus thicker gaming laptops, I don't even reach 60 ºC at full load.
Everything that I thought was bad about it is...good! I play games a lot, I save AAA titles for my XB1 and PS4.. Here I can do everything that I would do on my home computer! I don't need to game.. but there is some games that I do play.
I've already ordered this and hopefully it arrives before Christmas.
Awesome. Let us know your experience
i got 9560 and 9360 sadly 9360 (latest one with 16gb ram i7 7560 iris plus QHD touch) does not work as expected! after install software, restart windows 10 the 9360 a brand new laptop just stuck at DELL logo.... can't fix it. I got to return the laptop otherwise th3 13" is beautiful! the 9560 works great without any problems
+Thach Le Thanks for sharing that champ :)
Gonna buy one for myself in n'est few days. the Rose gold is my choice :) for my business purposes will be the best choice :)
+Piotr Stelmach Awesome, please share your experience :)
nice vid, and what song did you use in your intro?
+CGNT 175 Pon da snail or something and thanks for watching
great review! where and when can we buy it?
+sir willy Cheers champ.
great video! For the same price, between this new 9360 with i5, FHD scren 8gb ram and 256gb SSD, or the 9350 with i7, QHD, 16gb ram and 512gb SSD, which one would you choose? I want to buy a new laptop and have those offers available, same price, but don't know which one would be better
+Roger Jimenez I would go the 9350 with the i5 and 16gb ram.
Thanks a lot for your reply! Yes I think I'll go for the 9350, it's a very good package for a very good price
This is what the next step should have been for the Macbook Air.
Yep, RIP Macbook Air
May i know how can i get the wallpaper of this Laptop Please?
+Rajib Ahamed Just search colour wallpaper then select hi Res in the google search tools
My XPS 15 9550 was stolen last month. Now I just look at videos like this on my Asus.
Oh no. I feel for ya champ
Julien Vandal Break-in
Hey there, thanks for the review, it was great. I had one query though, regarding the upgradation of graphics card. Can it be improved ? If yes will there be any complications?
Also would you recommend the 7th gen strongly or you think the 5th or 6th gen processors wouldn't vary much?..
+maurya teja You can't upgrade the graphics they are integrated into the CPU and 6th or 7th generation there is a 12% difference. Is that worth the extra money?
Thanks, I'll decide😃
One problem with this pc is that it has very small arrow buttons, not good for navigating through spreadsheets
+Munther G-mail Yes and no number pad too.
good taste in laptops and watches!
Cheers champ. Have a good day xD
good review. I guess the tricky question is how does model compare to the i7-6560U with Iris Graphics 540. any idea? that is HD 620 vs Iris 540? which one would you say is a best value?
btw, any gossip/theories on the XPS 15 update? you are still thinking it will have the Nvidia 1060? I want to believe but I feel they will wait for a 1050 or such..
+Daniel Rodriguez-Delgado I left it on over night with Aida64 and it was still doing 3.2Ghz in the morning . You can look up the iris XPS 13 iris scores on geek bench and 3D mark. I will have a look.
Western Gents United thanks. I guess I meant something more like cinebench or heaven engine or even a simple rendering of the same video in premiere. The 6560 if you push the iri gpu it will throttle so it is often counter productive.
Thanks. For me I think I will rather find a good deal on the 6th gen Iris; when do we expect the 7th gen Iris? Iris 640 i guess (what a mess with graphics numbering being one lower than generation)
Great review !!
Quick question
Living in Europe, what do you suggest, getting Zenbook UX303UA (6500U, 12GB RAM, 256GB SSD, FHD) from amazon.uk for around 950 EUR, or wait until Christmas for a friend to bring me XPS 9360 (7200U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, FHD) from USA for around 1000 EUR ? I mainly ask in terms of build quality and performance.
+Chris Vaitsis I would wait for the XPS 13 if you buying now and New :)
It looks like there's a lot of keyboard flexing at 7:32, is that just camera moving or an actual flex?
+Grizzly Nah mate that's just my flimsy table.
Keyboard is solid
Can't for an update to the XPS 15!
+João Pedro Reis Yes me too xD
Which one would you recommend ? This Zenbook 3 UX390UA or XPS 13? On either one I would spec them up to 16GB RAM and I7 Processor. It seems the Zenbook would be a better deal...
but I'm leaning towards XPS 13 as it seems better received on the market. Having said that, on the higher ends - I get the same specs for the lower price with the Zenbook plus they don't force me to get the QHD battery-killing option whereas with the XPS I'd have to if I want higher specs.
Note : portability and performance are my priorities. I'm about 45/55 right now, leaning slightly towards XPS13.
Please help - I'm stuck! Thanks in advance
If around 8 hours is enough battery life get the XPS 13 but if you can get a good deal on the Zen its worth considering.
@Western Gents United
does it overheat and runs hot at the bottom if we play a movie or do day to day normal tasks..??
and what is the battery back up for the touch version..?
thanks
+abhay verma Battery back up? For movies and work it wont get hot.
what is the batter back up of the device under normal usage?
+abhay verma Batter back up? I'm not sure what you mean
Batter is only good for frying food in, not good for laptops.
+Western Gents United I mean for how long the laptop(touch variant) runs in 1 single full charge doing normal day to day work.
well worth it? for a color? ridiculous.
Slashback Entertainment If you are willing to pay a premium for an aluminum and a carbon fibre body, why wouldn't you pay for some bling?
lol 😁
Great laptop tho.
is the screen equally good from the early 2016 model? or was the screen improved for the Kaby Lake?
+Daniel Rodriguez-Delgado Same display mate.
Cheers
Love the laptop but came with a lot of problems. Within in the week it stopped charging and then when they changed the charger (which it came with for a "better suited charger") it still did not work. They then took out the wifi card which had problems which broke something else which made the sound stop working and the laptop lid to not sleep but needed a force restart when opening the lid regardless of sleep settings. SIGH.
Yeah, I am trying! I emailed them last week giving them a week to reply and them I am going to ring them in the next couple of days. The way I see it, the integrity of the laptop is now compromised with all these side effects happening, who knows what else has been affected! Will do!
+sarahshw98 They are usually good. But I have specific Australian/New Zealand support. Hope they are the same globally. I agree with your assessment. Definitely push for a new unit.
Did you experience any coilwhine on your unit?
+David Wernhart No coil whine here champ :)
Any idea about when the new Dell XPS 15 is coming out?
Looks like early next year. Maybe at CES. I think we would of heard something if it was this year.
would you reccomend this over the xps 15? considering im a uni student and allready have a decent computer with 6700k and gtx 1070
+Mead Blackmore I guess if you want something smaller with better battery life and a better display. I won't games as good as your beast.
Cheers
Mead Blackmore you should get the 15 inch because the 13 inch is too small for me but the 15 inch is perfect not too big or too small
Here in the UK it does not seem possible to pick anymore RAM than 8GB :(
+korpiz It will come eventually. What do you do with the laptop? 8GB might be enough.
I think I mostly wanted it for a bit of future proofing. I was planing to get this laptop as my main and I need something light and small but capable as I travel around alot between places I work. I would use it for loads of Office use, surfing, watching videos, streaming Netflix and some very light gaming, like Hearthstone, Starcraft 3, Crusader Kings 2. Should I wait for a 16GB version to come? Also I am not taking the touch enabled QHD as I want more battery time, if that has any implications for the need of memory also maybe.
I'm thinking about getting this in a month or so, I'm looking at the 16GB, 512SSD, i7, QHD with biometric finger scanner in the palm rest. The one I'm looking at will cost me £1.6K ish. What is everyone's opinion? Any better ideas? My heart is kinda set on this XPS 13.
+Lewis W It's the best 13" in terms of ports , upgradable ssd and great screen.
Western Gents United yeah that’s what I’ve heard. To be honest I probably won’t need any more than 512gb in it as most things like editing will be done from the external drives. But I did decide to go for the 16gb ram.
Nice review :)
+TechReviews/Gaming Central cheers mate
Can you do a performance comparison between Dell XPS fitted with Skylake 2015 vs KabyLake 2016?
I cover that in this review. Around 12% performance increase and a few FPS on GTA 5 difference.
Thank you. Great review!
Unless Apple or Microsoft surprise me with something new this month, I will order the XPS 13" by end of October.
Just bought the XPS 13 QHD 9360 model however is anyone receiving processor noise? It's quiet but very noticeable. I am already on my 2nd one as the 1st had a track pad that didn't work out the box. I'm starting to question the build quality of this £1500 laptop.
I never had this problem but its has been mentioned before.
Such a shame you can't configure them to 32GB RAM. If you could, I'd have one in a heartbeat.
Indeed, and it's such a shame; I got rid of my previous XPS (15") because whilst it was certainly portable, it could have been a great deal more so.
These days I have a 6th gen NUC and a 12" Macbook. The ideal solution would absolutely be a solid (build quality wise) 13" with 32GB, though.
(I do a lot of virtualisation stuff btw, hence the need for quite a bit of memory).
One quick question what it's better deal 6th generation i7, 8GB, Iris 540 or Kaby lake i7, 8GB XPS13 ? 6th Generation is cheaper about 100USD$
For $100 I would still go with the Kaby Lake if you could get $150 or more off then I guess the decision gets harder
I'll wait to they redesign this to fix the fatally flawed webcam location
have a look at the new zenbook ux410. 1mm more bezel but camera on the top.
Or the lenovo ideapad 710
Dan Robinson I dunno if they could fit that on the top, but maybe blending it in with the Dell logo and centering it would work?
Do you use the webcam a lot? Something stopping you buying an external one?
any issues? . . . coil whine, wifi issues, screen flickering (with external display)??
I have not had any issues I'm glad to report.
quick question. I have an option for 9350 (2015 model) with 6560u cpu and iris video card vs 9360 (2016 model) with 7500u CPU and Intel HD 620 video card. what should I choose? I rarely play games but I do output 4k and 3d video to a large screen TVs and stuff. that's my main concern between the two which one is a smarter option assuming it cost exactly the same?
+fdhgsd Your better off with the new one. You don't play games and the 9360 handles 4k better is faster and has better battery life.
Cheers
Western Gents United thanks mate, where did you the specs of this Intel HD handling 4k output better than the an iris?
by the way I read some serious bad reviews on the killer 1535ac wifi card being not stable, is it worth a replacement to Intel 8265 Ac wifi card? they're super reliable.
Thanks for your advice
So it is $1199 in the US and $2499 in Australia? Why the extreme rip off here? Taxes are that high in Australia for electronic items? Also, @5:45, you mention that the screen covers 72% of sRGB. Isn't that very low? Or did you mean 72% of Adobe RGB?
+Shyam Koundinya No S Rgb. It seems low but it's a brilliant display unless you colourist or something .
Do you think it's worth upgrading if you have the 9350 model?
+Joshua Hing Not really unless you can sell the old one for good coin and get a deal on the new one. The 9350 XPS 13 is still a great laptop .
Are the internals the same? Want to know if I can change out the 128gb harddrive
+shin888 Yes the M.2 SSD is upgradedable
SSD Yes. RAM No.
2015MacBookPro costs 1469€
2015XPS costs 1200€(with touch 1350€)
2016XPS costs 1269€
all of them with an i5 and 256gb.
hard decision, would appreciate some advice:)
I would rule out the Mac to pricey for what you get. Depends on your needs. Do you need touch? is battery life important?
Touch 2015 XPS 13, Battery 2016 XPS 13
Western Gents United
is it worth upgrading to the i7? how much faster would you consider it?
Does this model have the coil whining issue that the older models had?
Not on this review unit I have.
Would this be still solid in performance and battery even after 2 years of usage?
Yep and you should be able to get a replacement battery
Is it any good using a touch screen on a regular clamshell laptop or do you really need a 2-in-1 convertible?
On a 13 inch its handy on a 15 inch its useless to me.
Why is that? I would have thought the 15 inch was more touchable due to the size. Is it the smaller distance between the front edge and the screen? I never really considered that.
I saw something about coil whine still present on the 9360 and I it stopped me from ordering it today. Did you experience any?
+Mike Kleanthous I guess all I can say is My XPS 13 did not have coil whine.
I ordered the Dell XPS 15 9550 with the i7 6700HQ, 16GB DDR4 Ram, 512 GB NvME SSD, GTX 960M, Full HD Display and a whopping 84Wh Battery (most of them have a 56Wh battery, 84Wh have usually only the 4k models)
What are your thoughts on this?
unfortunately got mine xps 9360 just few days ago, coil whine issue still present - so be warned.
Oh no :(
Sad to hear about this. So want to order the i5 currently on special for $1699 AUD until Oct 27th. They're no longer offering the i7 non-touch. :(
this computer is sick yo
+Rosa Ramírez You're right there champ
I want to buy it, it says I can add a wireless mouse for 1 € in the dell store, but how do I do that? Which one is it? Sorry for the dumb question.
I'm not sure about that. I don't think we have that on the Australian store.
Hey! Can someone tell me if the new Intel 620 Graphics is more powerfull than Intel Iris 540? And if not, is the diffrence significant?
The Iris is still slightly faster nothing that it going to make a big difference.
Cheers
Check out the new 2017 hp envy
colour gamut of the display?
Hello, you said DDR4, but is this a regional thing? I've only seen DDR3 configurations which is weird because it should be able to support DDR4. Freaking Del always cutting corners.
Can you do a comparison with asus zenbook 3 ux390? thank you.
If ASUS send me one for sure. I will contact them.
Western Gents United Thanks
anyone who knows if the kaby lake upgrade makes this better for use with a EGPU?
Stian Berg As of now, the only sure bet is the Razer blade stealth.
Some people have made it work with the XPS (skyline), but in an unreliable fashion. I assume this model won't be different as the compatibility was driver related.
Is 8 gb or ram good for the next 4 years? I want mine to last me all through school
For school use web, video, docs 8GB will be fine
Is it possible to upgrade the ssd to a samsung 960 pro on the 9360 xps 13 ?
+ash Cool Yes indeed it is
So its bad for video editing? I would like to edit games videos from ps4 pro
+darkspl It will be fine for PS4 video editing
Do you need 16GB of Ram in this going into future ? I am torn between 8GB and 16GB :(
Depends what you use it for 8GB sill be enough for most but if you video edit, game or do heave Photoshop you might want to consider 16GB
I don't, I usually play hearthstone only on laptop and maybe some Football Manager or some kind of old RPG it's work, web browsing and occasional movies only
Piotr Kurkowski 8GB is plenty for that kind of use
Anybody know when the 15 inch XPS will have a Kaby Lake processor?
Kaby Lake isn't out yet for non ULV processors (which the XPS15 is)
Any estimate on when that will be?
Most are saying Q1 2017. This is why Apple messed up by releasing their MacBook pro 2 months before their CPU is out of production. Dell will probably release the XPS 15 once they are out.
Wow, I thought kaby lake improved the integrated graphics ;-/
Go with HP. you will love it forever! no kidding!
haha There are actually some good Hp's
How smooth is it running Football Manager 2017 on the XPS 13?
Like butter at 1080p. I dont see the need to go higher res although it would handle it.
Thanks mate!
I really like this laptop but I hate Windows which is not good for software developing , and I love linux but in linux I can't install office, illustrator or a fully functional skype. I'm thinking to get a new Macbook pro 2016 core i7
Windows now support Linux and Bash. Have you tired it lately?
how much batterie life are u getting on this? get my xps today.
+CEKAYS _ 8 hours with the QHD model. Let us know how yours is.
is there coil whine on the 1080p/i5 models?
+Kyle I have never had one with coil whine
