This is a laptop I've been looking at. I was waiting for this! Great work as always fams
In what aspects? The HP Envy 13" covers most things at a much lower price, not to mention with much better battery life
idk, my lenovo yoga 14s has Ryzen 4800H, 2.8K 90Hz display, 512 GB Memory,16GB Ram, in 14 inches 1.4kg form factor, and it was 800 USD. Great keyboard, infra red windows hello, great audio speakers, 8 hours of active working battery life. Except from being slightly lighter and thinner, any other edge I missed for xps?( oh, tb4 maybe, and build quality? Yoga is also built full alloy btw )
Cheers!
Considering the price you pay vs performance you get, u are being screwed on this deal :)
@@xin2668 Agreed that your Lenovo is fantastic value for money. To me, the Dell XPS 13 is very appealing due to the striking design, excellent screen and great keyboard. I would have happily payed the premium price for what is arguably the best designed thin and light windows laptop right now. However, I would also expect a premium laptop to offer the best possible performance for its size. Currently, that would require a CPU from AMD or Apple depending on OS.
Great review with a ton of well structured information, as always!
Thank you for bringing variety!
I love to see that at 100% utilization it doesn't run hotter than 70°C at even the more silent settings. On top of that it makes nearly no noise. If someone needed a small, portable and silent laptop for work what doesn't stand out visually this would be my go to for recommending.
Picked this up yesterday banging laptop lovey 4K picture, Small and light
Thank you for the sound test!
I have an XPS 13 since 2014 when the camera was at the bottom left of the screen, and it's still going strong. Just today, I changed the DC Jack.
And, yes, I plan to keep using and will get another XPS 13 if need be.
I'm currently using my dell 9343 which may be the same model you had. I replaced the battery and it's running like a champ. I would love to upgrade because it is a little choppy, but dell saying the 9310 battery isn't user replaceable is really a bummer. I get around 6 hours of battery on my old config with touchscreen 3200x1800 display.
what an excellent review. I have one coming thurs/fri, I'm looking forward to it
Was looking for this yesterday. Thankyou
Love the usb-c on both sides, but wish there was a USB-A port somewhere
Great Review! I like this laptop a lot and I have used it for 6 months. I am sticking to my M1 MacBook Pro though because of the OS.
I have the Dell XPS 13 9310(2 in 1 model) with the i7 processor and it is an amazing laptop. I use it for programming and 3d rendering work.
I'd say 6h from a 4k version is pretty respectable. Mine is 1080p non-touch on my i7 config and I can push it quite above 9-10h if I'm just web browsing or streaming video.
I was totally excited to get the XPS 13 9310 but nothing overwhelmed me. It's a good laptop but I expected more from my $1,699 configuration.
Coming from an XPS 9560, that is one stunning looking machine!
Perfect for Father's Day gift
I have this computer, it has an amazing keyboard, it's screen is beautiful, and the usability is great, especially with windows 11 on it (which is debatable, but I personally like it!). The only thing wrong with it (at least with the 2-in-1 version) is when I hold it up using the palm rest and try to click on the trackpad, the trackpad gets stuck in the down position. I got it on discount on Black Friday and frankly, it was an amazing deal. I can game on it, it is easy to do college work on, 9/10 would recommend.
Thank you for this information, very helpful!
This is the way. A thin and light with no dedicated GPU should focus more on noise rather than pointlessly pushing the chip for nothing. An option would always be nice for those who somehow need it while using such a machine.
I have a Dell XPS 13 and I can guarantee you it is the best Windows 10 "13" inch work laptop. Only thing is 11th Gen Intel CPUs are a screw offs and it affects performance but the Iris Xe is decent, not too great tho. But if you want to do anything except gaming, this will be it, I am a student and I enjoy it.
You can get the 1080p screen in touch. In fact Dell offers it as a free upgrade in some cases.
Thanks for the backlight bleed test.
For a similar size, more features, better keyboard and better battery, I think I´d go for the Spectre 14. Cheaper too.
Good laptop anyway.
Did you connect it to an egpu? If so how does it perform? Thermals?
Thanks. Appreciate your work
Came to see a metal T-shirt and was not disappointed
The laptop reviews are just a bonus.
Thank you for great review!
I used XPS 13 9360 i7 series since last 2017...best laptop and the most expensive laptop that I used before... :)
Personally think they should ditch the 13, 15 and 17 inch and go to 14 and 16 inch versions exclusively. 13" screen is quite small, but due to minimal bezels the actual size of 14" laptops are now same size as 13" laptops few years back. Even older 13" ultrabooks were small, it really makes no sense to make actual device smaller when you could gain more screen space by keeping the device size same. And anyways all the laptop sleeves, cases and stuff that have been designed for 13" takes modern 14" with minimal bezels.
I think it really needs one additional regular USB, otherwise it's pretty perfect laptop ignoring the screen size.
love the XPS 13... it's my bud... just bought another one today... but all this RAM we use today is crazy... considering we went to the moon on 72K... funny :)
My TI-99/4A only had 16K and a tape drive.
I love your reviews.
I appreciate that band t-shirt.
Thanks for showing how far the MicroSD card clicks in.
I think that looks like a usable “always leave in” setup for automated daily local backups
I'm so excited about the samsung 90hz oled's
I like balance performance and noise level.
I think it's great for users who don't want to twick anything
But for me, I want to see an option where I can increase TDP and fan speed.
They forget that sometimes people use headsets and fan noise will not bother them
Please review more ultrabooks in detail like this one.
Can't wait for the 2021 version of Dell xps 15
Reviews consistently praise the XPS. I too find the laptop very desirable. But it omits every extra feature out there that competition can offer - 2k display, ports beyond type c, repairability, good webcam, higher refresh rate, great battery life. It just has none of those. In the market for a new PC for casual use, this laptop trades so many extras for sleekness, finding it tough to take the plunge.
Which one did you pick ?
What else would you recommend around the same price range?
That wallpaper i want it 8:22
😍
google linux ubuntu wallpaper and you'll find it.
Maybe irrelevant for most of you but still: Coming from a ThinkPad X230 from 2012, i actually tried the XPS 13 2-in-1. Fan Noise was louder and much more high pitched than what is shown here. But the fans were off most of the time, so ok. I send it back because of the keyboard. Layout is good for the size, but i couldn‘t get comfortable with the super low key travel of 1mm. Also the 2-in-1 Keyboard, which is different to this one, is super loud. Nothing for silent concentrated working really. I really don‘t get how many youtubers rated this as an A+ keyboard.
I was looking at this and the Yoga 9i. I went with the yoga, bit bigger screen, way better speakers, better battery life, runs the 28w variant, faster storage and a 2 in 1. Also got it on sale for much cheaper than the dell
the only reason that you got yoga is a price.
@@furmanvit it was returned shortly after, screen issues. Price doesn’t bother me all that much. Just like to be smart with my money lol
Hi Jarrod, does the XPS 9310 get warm/hot during regular office work (Word, Excel), internet browsing or CZcams? How loud does it get during these use cases?
It seems that most reviewers miss out the real issues the device has. Makes it hard for me to research what replacement to get.
Check the Dell community forums. There are so many posts of users with the screens turning black for no reason or system just simply locking up. This issue happens not just in Windows but Linux as well. In fact, users are suggesting to drop the display down to 48Hz to avoid this issue.
Or the.blatant lies with the battery life.
@@joshuaneira1342 Yeah, XPS just looks nice, but it is trash inside. What's worse, looks like Dell has paid reviewers to lie. :)
Yes the main issue is the overheating problem this laptop has. Mine got boiling hot straight out of the box.
Great review. I've been on the fence here for the longest time. Considering the 11th Gen non-touch. Only thing putting me off is the 8gb@3733Mhz RAM (only opton available in the non-touch here).
I've been looking for reviews on the new 11th Gen Latitude 9420 2-in-1 to get a comparison with the 9310. Sadly, there are almost no reviews on that.
Any chance you could do a review? Or share some thoughts on the 9420? It's got some promising hardware.
Cheers!
nice review, yet I think you skipped the part where the xPS 9310 was the worst Resolve machine even among 1165/1185 and by a non trivial margin. I am testing the two-in-one version 9310 with 32GB ram and 1TB nvme, and even an basic h264 1080p project in premiere leads to massive frame drops. I was expecting more from the XE. I am sending mine back to dell.
Could I ask, does this laptop's display look good in low-light conditions in terms of colour and backlight bleed? I'm looking for a laptop to replace my struggling 10 year old pre-Retina MacBook Pro, which I use to watch a lot of videos at night time. I recently bought an Asus Vivobook 14 because of its specifications, but the display is awful compared to my MBP and I can't use the Vivobook at all in low-light conditions. Thanks in advance!
Can we expect an egpu review for this laptop?
Jarrod man you should make a comparison smackdown between the XPS 13 and Flow X13
ah yes the 3000 dollar gaming beast vs an ultrabook
At this price I'd stick with a Mac Air and I hate Macs.
???
???
???
???
i get it
I have an XPS 13 7390 and I do like it but the graphics performance is appalling, even on a graphics heavy website, other than that it's great :)
Watching this on XPS 13 2 in 1. Such a amazing laptop though it is pretty expensive
Great review, I noticed though that you said only the 4k supports touch. I have this exact same spec down to the processor but I have the 1920x1200 version and it is touchscreen. They have non-touch versions, but mine is FHD+ Touch Screen. The reason I like FHD+ is it's still crisp and I get over 10 hours of battery.
I think screen configuration options differ by region
Yours is the 2-in-1 version that you can flip over and make it like a tablet. It's using the WLED panel on both resolutions and both have touchscreen.
You are the first person I've seen that spells Jarrod the same way as my name. Important lil tidbit, there.
Wish you’d make a similarly detailed review of the Flow x13 (you only made videos of performance )
I have. It should be up early next week.
Pricing is out of this world :)
THANK YOU❤
I'll be getting this XPS 13 with the OLED screen or the MBP 14". Just waiting to see what the MBP has to offer before making the final decision.
Hey jarrod, why you never review some mac? Did you ever like to try it? Because your review is amaze us.. We need your pov about mac one hehehe
hello, can you please tell me if this laptop can handle all modern games at maximum settings? or at least average. and does the screen support 4K?
Hey, does the 1TB NMVE SSD in your XPS 13 run hotter than a similar but smaller 512GB model? I read that higher capacity can run hotter even when idle. Is this true?
Love your delve into productivity ultrabooks but there are risks here as this is a new niche you are moving into as many CZcamsrs already take this space. But I love your opinions here from a gaming laptop channel so do them whenever you can unless these videos don't perform well. I recommend the HPspectre 14 if you can ever get your hands on as BOAT has gotten his hands on one too. Great video!
I have done them occasionally over the years, but my primary focus is still gaming laptops.
other youtubers dont do it in a metal tshirt
Jarrod should also start doing videos on RTXOFF & RTXON like graphical comparision in games😋, That will be accurate!
hi really great reviews. What is the best budget laptop for video editing in Premiere pro??
idk, my lenovo yoga 14s has Ryzen 4800H, 2.8K 90Hz display, 512 GB Memory,16GB Ram, in 14 inches 1.4kg form factor, and it was 800 USD. Great keyboard, infra red windows hello, great audio speakers, 8 hours of active working battery life. Except from being slightly lighter and thinner, I can't see any edge for the xps( oh, tb4 maybe, and build quality? Yoga is also full aluminium body btw )
For this kind of product I prefer the 2 in 1, it is more versatil, but over all Dell do it great quality products with good (not exellent) hardware.
I have it due to me needing windows for work and love it but I have to agree that intel has fallen behind big time in value for money. Very nice laptop though despite being expensive
Looks all the premium notebooks will be packing intel chips this year yet again. Hopefully MSI's offering will pack an AMD.
Not the fault of manufacturers...AMD literally cannot provide enough chips smh.
Iris Xe is pretty good though, it will be interesting if AMD's U-series APUs will be able to topple it. Edit: The Vega graphics in the 5800H either matches or falls below the Xe, for now Intel is winning.
I think AMD's branding still not as good as intel so manufacturers will not take risk now.
@@Arkan_Fadhila No, just that dell& msi never started using AMD. The major problem is still with the chip shortage. Some the most popular ones last year(g14, legion5, omen15,nitro5,envy 13x360)were amd, and many product lines from Lenovo, Asus(&rog),hp and acer have slowly switched over including the ＄3000+ Zephyrus duo, so intel does have pretty sufficient supply(also following the successful macbook air w/ M1) that meets the high demands in difficult times.
Amd done well with the ryzen4000&5000, and ryzen4000 also came with a lower pricetag which was the major reason to its success, but ryzen3000m& radeon5000m were still crap. End of the day it just depends on stock, price&performace, no brand 'dominates'over another.
If a 10750h config is priced ＄200 lower than 5800h it will still sell crazy and likely be the best laptop of the year
@@MrLLG-zy8rh AND THUNDERBOLT IS IMPORTANT FOR THIN AND LIGHT ,WHICH AMD DOESN'T OFFER
What's the max res and refresh rate when connected to 2 external monitors?
Can't agree more I have the X1 Carbon 8th gen and the XPS 9310 and I have to say the xps is better in every way except the keyboard and port selection
Nice job. You might like the HP Envy 14 that has discrete graphics.
Thought this was a hardware canucks video but pleasantly surprise
I'm not a big Apple fan and don't like small laptops in general but if I had to get a 13inch I'm not sure anything can beat a M1 13inch Mac. The amount of power vs efficiency is of the charts compared to anything Intel.
More like the price is finally reasonable unlike how it always was.
Well we need 5nm x86 CPUs to actually compete. Unfortunately 5nm Zen 4 will be delayed to next year. Maybe Intel might come close with Alder Lake mobile? From what I know it has a good chance of beating Zen 3.
@@mingyi456 Yeah who knows. But for.the rest of 2021 I can't see anything in the thin and light segment touch a M1 macbook. Ryzen CPUs certainly brings good game though but so many premium laptops like Dell XPS is still Intel. But who knows what future M1 soc's will do in the high end laptops and desktops.
I'll take Windows Personally.
@@mingyi456 but zen 4 mobile maybe still 8 cores
Be extremely carefull with Dell XPS, they come out of the factory with bitlocker half on/half off on the hard disk, if a windows update messes up and leaves your windows in a non-bootable state, the bitlocker will prevent you from ever getting your files back. Windows will show a confusing option as 'turn bitlocker on' , making, you think it isn't on, but it is, except there haven't been any recovery keys set only TPM which doesn't help when your windows is broken. So first thing to check when you get an XPS , start CMD as administrator and run in dos prompt : manage-bde -status to check if disk encryption is activated. As it most likely is , go to control panel and activate bit locker (yes even though it already is...) so you can set a recovery key yourself, save the key in 2-3 places, afterwards , keep the disk encrypted as is while atleast having a key, or ommediatly after setting a key, de-encrypt the drive and turn bitlocker off again. This is a dangerous practice and you are not informed about this and once windows messes up an update, which always happens eventually it is too late and you have lost any method to get your files back. Because you can't repair the windows , as the harddisk will be locked.
Thanks for this
I'm really confused between macbook pro 16 gb ram with 1 tb and this one plzzzz make me choose
Thankyou 🙏
Do the left and right arrow keys function as home and end keys when combined with fn (function) key?
Please do a review for the Gigabyte G5 with 10870H and RTX 3060. I'm sure a lot of people are interested in this laptop because of the price.
Would you review this with an eGPU hooked up to it? I'd like a work laptop that I could also game with
That's every detail I want to know in a single review, all reviewers could take some pointers from you.
could you please do a lumion benchmark test?
If you want to add peripherals but don't want to invest in a thunderbolt 4 docking station just yet, can you plug in a USB-c docking station to one of the 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports on the laptop (primarily to connect a HDMI monitor, mouse & keyboard, and USB external drives)? I have read that the thunderbolt ports are downwardly compatible but don't know if this would work.
I bought the latest Matebook X Pro 2021 from China (i7-1165g7 16gb ram), do you think it would be a fair comparison with XPS 13? Cheers
Hello Jarrod.
Take a look at the new EON17-X.
The company CEO says it has desktop 3080 performance.
What do you think of the bigger xps 15
How does this compare to the HP Envy 13. Even the x360 looked top notch.
Hi jarrod, I have msi gf65. My processor is i5 10300h. Processor speed is throttling at 95 degrees. I set the passive trip point 87 degrees. But again it goes up to 95 97 degrees. It works around 4000 to 4200mhz in games. I did not understand.
The linux test is a very bright idea
Is there one with silver inside instead of black and white? I much prefer gray or silver.
Please compare it to the m1 macbook pro/air, would love to see which has better value
True, would definitely like to see that!
I'll probably never cover Apple on the channel, just not worth me spending thousands of dollars to buy a product larger channels cover to death when I've already got hands full indefinitely with companies that actually want to send me stuff - sorry.
If you really like Apple stuff, just head over to Max Tech's channel, they'd probably have already done a comparison
m1 macs are just at another level of performance 999$ mb air will destroy 999$ dell xps 13inch
@@bazu6001 it seams longevity might be a problem but we have only one way to find out
the batteries are not user replaceable? So does this mean when the battery fails overtime, the only way to use this is keep it tethered to the wall?
why not the X13 Flow? aren't the supposed to be the same size?
your ring is preettyyyy dank
I want to get your opinions and suggestions. so, i am going to get a gaming laptop. should i get the ryzen 5 4600h + 1650 ti or i5 10300h + rtx 2060
Hey jarrod, please review the Gigabyte Aorus 15P with RTX 3070!
Thats weird my Dell XPS 13 2 in 1 got around 5500 points on Cinebench R23 and it has a i7-1165G7. May be due to the vapour chamber in the 2 in 1 configuration
Would this laptop be suitable for a Robotics and Ai student?
the 1080p panels too offer touch support...i currently have it
Moved from a surface to an XPS 9310. Love it so far, but it gets so damn hot.
You can fix that with power options
@@speaktruth247 Nope its a flaw with this machine. Dell asks you to return the laptop to their repair center to re-install thermal paste and thermal pads on the CPU and heatsink.
Hi. It support Avid and Adobe Premire last versions?
1165g7 vs 4500u which cpu is better in power consumption?
can i ask. Do e-gpus work Okay @ 1080 p with rigs like this?
I got an xps 13 9380 back in 2019 and I gotta say I love the xps line, arguably overpriced, but fantastic machines and great for portability and media consumption, except the speakers....the volume output on the 9380 is 💩
Hey jarrod pls review the new legion 5, thankyouu
