Dell's new XPS 13 2-in-1 with Ice Lake is an incredibly impressive laptop, being able to cover basically all of the bases, while offering a great price and premium build quality.
The new aluminum chassis is very strong yet lightweight.
The newly redesigned keyboard looks very clean and allows for extra-wide keys that are fantastic to type on.
There's also a new 16:10 aspect ratio that gives you a lot of extra vertical viewing space, along with the super high-quality 3840x2400 resolution.
And much more than that, so be sure to watch the entire review!

It's really cool,looks dureable and filled with awesome specs
Test some games
Is the $500 off still valid? I can't find anything on microcenter store.
Max Tech - what configuration would you recommend. CPU, RAM and Storage. My use will be some basic website building/ editing work, using some basic cloud based time sheet application, some very low end photo editing, and yes basic surfing and watching CZcams
The best looking Ultrabook with MacBook keyboard, that sucks.
micro center is awesome - their prices have always been quite competitive and i love that they do shipping too
Could you do a smackdown between this and the Surface Laptop 3 13" (Intel 10th gen Version)?? Would be really nice
that micro center is heaven Man!
Highly trained staff In low prices? Definitely getting them😂
its a marketing feature, skip them. gullible americans
@@Di_Moriarti wooosh
Andrii Mazur what??
Thanks Max, just ordered mine!!
need coil whine recording in XPS reviews
great presentation, nice job. when are you going to review hp spectre 13 late october edition?
very sold all-rounder review thank you.. keep it up
I wish they would bring back the perfect keyboard they used on the XPS 2013 and 2014 models.
This or hp spectre x360 2 in 1? (That’s is a tough one )
What about the build quality? Can it compete with the lenovo thinkpad x1 yoga line?
Hola Max! Do you have a 17.3 inch laptop you'd recommend for 4k editing with heavy grading/filters? These weary old eyes want to move up from 13 and 15 inch machines:)
please compare the xps 2 in 1 base model with macbook pro base model
Two years ago, I purchased my first XPS 13 from American buyer agent and I still use the computer now. I guess my XPS was bought from the speciality computer store out there.
Thinking over this, mb pro 13 or even dell xps 15 without touch screen (ips)
Can you test if it is good to use in portrait mode, tablet mode, hold in one hand and tab on the other hand. How's the scaling?
What's your view on Lenovo ideapad C340? Is it worth the price?
how long does the battery last? with normal, non heavy use?
Does the micro SD card install flush with the chassis?
You can go into the Dell Audio app to make the speakers louder but it’s annoying to hear you have to still do that
How's the fan noise with this laptop?
One thing that every laptop does (so I've tested at work, I work at a major laptop/other electronics retailer in the UK) is when you shut the lid or put the laptop to sleep, the fans will turn off... No dell XPS laptop in 2018 did tis, including both the 13 and 15'6 inch XPS models or the Dell G7.
I'm interested in this laptop purely because of the design and specs but.. can you confirm if you shut the lid the fans turn off and the thing actually goes to sleep?
This or a Lenovo c940? I can get Lenovo with 400 off so it's hard to decide
Do you know the maximum Sd Card support on this laptop? 1tb?
How is this for video editing?
Look out for the HP spectre just came out and looks essentially the same except with gigabit LTE and a USB A so you don’t absolutely have to have a dongle at all times
Can I use Ubuntu reliably in this hardware?
Nice review! Thanks. Would be nice to see comparison with new HP Spectre 😉
I seriously don't know which one to go for. This Dell doesn't have windows hello smh
If I'm looking for a 2in1 with larger than 13inch, should I wait for a new 2in1 Dell roducts to be realsed? Because Dell 15 2in1 is for a couple years age..
I just got mine this week. I replaced my main desktop with this and the dell TB16 dock and use it as my main workstation. Coming from a Xeon E3 1230v3, it's a moderately large performance increase - It was the Haswell generation - bumping up to the brand new core architecture.
The only, ONLY, complaint I have about it is the damn CABC - The Content Aware Brightness Control. It is constantly increasing and decreasing the screen brightness and it is just the most annoying thing I have ever encountered. In previous generations of the XPS 13 and 2in1, there was a BIOS switch that you could disable it, but it appears that is missing from this generation.
Battery life?
Is it possible to get the wallpaper please ?
Anybody can tell how do those bottom facing speakers compare to those on the clamshell XPS 13 which are on the sides?
Is this Kensington-lockable?
this machine has been awesome for me. I am editing a movie on Davinci Resolve with it now, and it's been flawless thus far. Over 2 hours on my timeline, (1080), and it hasn't had a hiccup so far. I'm about to get to color grading, and so, I think I'm gonna add an eGPU. I am currently using a deck link card housed in a breakout box to feed my external monitor, and so... the eGPU should keep my workflow going smoothly. I have the i7, 16 gig RAM, 256 ssd, but I have a Glyph Atom external 1TB ssd. So far, without any external graphics help, the internal iris graphics have been amazing. Other than the fact that the fingerprint scanner craps out all the time, and the touch screen requires a re start occasionally, this machine has been a warrior for me.
Doesit have coil wine?
This looks good! But this or the new lenovo yoga C940 or the new Microsoft surface 13” and 15”?
Microsoft living in the dark ages with fat bezels
This is the laptop that i want
Dell should of used g4 iris plus graphics on the i5
You guys should take a look at the HP Spectre 13 & 15
I got the top-of-the-line i7, 4K touch screen, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD. Pros: Beautiful display, fast as all get-out, beautiful exterior, love the thin bezels. The fans rarely come on and when they do they are very quiet. I love the small power brick. So-so: The keyboard is OK but not great. I would have preferred that it wasn’t as wide as it is. I’m getting used to it but I would rather not have to adjust. Cons: Battery life is much less than I expected: 4 hours with battery saver, 6 hours in airplane mode. If I had it to do all over again I wouldn’t get the 4K, although the character crispness and UI crispness is outstanding. I wish there was an older USB port. If it had to be all USB-C, why not give us two on one side? Very limited. I’m hoping future versions of Windows can get more battery life. 1909 is supposed to be better. This laptop was the first one certified in Intel’s Athena project which is supposed to mean battery life is over 9 hours. Ha!
Dell always lie when it comes to battery, take what they say and subtract by half
thats why 1440p (16:9) or 1600p (16:10) on 13" laptops is a nice resolution.sharp (imo) enough, but it doesn`t hit the battery life as much as a 4k panel.gaming laptops should have a 120hz 1440p display imo. (I know the razerblade pro has a 4k 120 hz panel so 1440p 120hz is easily possible)
But first a huge thanks to
Skip
Skip
Skip

Will you compare that with MacBook Pro's?
mbp 13: better speakers, better trackpad, more portsxps 13: better performance, better keyboard, thinner bezels(idk about the battery life and a 2560x1600p display at 13" are enough ppi for me ~220ppi)
Any review can be wrong, but at least this one has the guts to say what's best according to the reviewer, unlike many other reviews.
Title: best 2 in 1 13" laptop yet!
HP: Are you sure about that?
2-in-1 or traditional 13"?
In which ways does the traditional 13" Dell better than 2-in-1?
The traditional is older. It’s not updated with the new design. So many things weee fixed. Trust me, the 2 in 1 is so much better, and it has the new 10th gen processor.
Nice! 16:10 finally!!!
What is the price?
Desktop background please
How about palm rejection when using stylus?
Palm rejection is good. I just buy it
Could you comment on the TDP? The XPS 9380 can last 25w for long time. Curious to see how this performs.
It’s 15w. The New Razer Blade Stealth (non-GPU) is the only SKU/manufacturer pushing Ice Lake 25w. The GTX model Stealth is 15w as well
@@abehaile2659 Being 15w makes it perform even worse than the normal xps 13 since the latter can be 25w to 30...
Hao Li depends on your performance needs. At work, battery life and good thermal performance (quiet fans) is how I define “performance”. This isn’t the best machine for content production or gaming
@@abehaile2659 Yeah I understand.. I guess I code a lot and for a lot of applications I just need strong single core performance.. Thanks for your reply.
Dell hit it out the park
That is one handsome laptop
I don't understand why people complaining about not being able to fully open the laptop using one hand. I don't know who started this but I guess it was Apple who started to make it a selling point and since then every reviewer consider this as a mandatory feature.
It is just a gimmick afterall. You have two hands and power to open with two hands. LOL.
Btw I have Macbook Pro, but still I open it using two hands.
But nice review and thank you!
❤ love it !! Awesome review, 100% enjoying watching it, please make similar after few months use this beautiful machine 👍😎
This with a normal hinge and you got me
Damn, it looks pretty good. I'm gonna cross my fingers for a 3:2 screen next year, please dell?
I wouldn't hope for another change so soon.
16:10 is actually a nice sweet spot.
All you guys that live near a Micro Center location really need to support them and buy from them instead of giving all your money to Best Buy. They really deserve it!
They are a great store and I’m lucky to live near one ☝️
I would if I could. I hate best buy but sometimes I have no choice
@@Alex-xl3yr And that's fine. A fair chance is always fine. It's when you DON'T give small businesses a chance, then the bigger ones become the Giants. And then price gouging starts.
Is it heavy to hold it and read like an e.book reader?
It's not very easy to hold with one hand, much heavier than the regular iPad.
After looking at the price tag I remembered "Luxury does has a Price" 😵🤔
@Ash Moe yeahhhh, i love my keyboard's autocorrect feature. It gives me moments of shame to laugh upon 😂😂
This one or the new spectre x360 13?
new spectre is soo promising, smaller, bigger batttery, oled
It’s available for pew-order on HP.com right now. Delivers Nov. 5th. I ordered it in Poseidon Blue 🥶
Subscribed..
beautiful
It's a shame Given that the SSD is soldered on and not upgradable that for the price they didn't use faster Samsung or other premium brand SSD chips instead of the slower Toshiba ones they are using
But it does not have HDMI support
How would it compare to MacBook pro 13 with 16gb and 256ssd? Because so far MBP still has one of the best speakers and display...and can do a little gaming...
Trying to decide whether to go for MBP
This should be noticeably faster than the most recent MacBook pro 13. (And it's cheaper).
How about zen pro duo.
I think that laptop is very interesting.
I agree but it’s 15.6”
True
Better than the Matebook X pro?
I would actually say yes.
Razer Blade stealth , 1650 graphics in a 13 inch frame bud.
You said it feels a little better than Macbook butterfly keys. This XPS 13 2 in 1 model uses butterfly keys as well. Its keyboard is almost identical in performance and feel to the new Macbook Pro. Not really better at all.
Iris pro Graphics only 10% better than 620 before it (MBP 13 use 650 which is almost double), and the hard drive speed of 1000 write speed?? My 2014 Macbook Air (old style) has 3000 read and 1800 write.
This laptop looks cool but still these reviews seem biased.
I hear the battery life is quite bad.
Anyone here who knows how well the 2-in-1s run linux? I know they have the well optimized developer edition, but this seems like even better hardware than that and i'd really like to use it as my main machine.
the touch is pretty okay but the fingerprint scanner doesnt have drivers
@@RazorSh4rk ok, that's something i could live with, thanks for the answer! The rest works? Like bluetooth, proper sleep mode, audio...
@@artlessbene yeah, didnt run into any big issues with arch
@@RazorSh4rk sounds good, thanks for your insights
Mine doesn't have a proper sleep mode yet in manjaro kde ( dell 9365 model) and it's dead every morning. It's not going to be glassy smooth as windows but overall system responsiveness is way better.
it.s good but the razor stealth with dedicated graphics would be a better choice for content creators, and gamers.
I was so very tempted by this for photo editing (so 4k 100% AdobeRGB kinda important), partly because I love the compact 2-in-1 design, 16:10 screen but also it's the only one this size with 32gb of RAM however the Toshiba NVMe SSD is not as fast as the chips Razer use (Liteon I believe) or Samsung. The new Stealth 13 with 10th Gen and GTX1650 graphics looks very tempting as does the large track pad but not a 2-in-1... decisions decisions, will have to wait for real world reviews of Razer to come in now it's being released
@@dportass Get the XPS 13 2in1 for its mobility and adaptability. If you ever do need the extra power, you can hook up an external GPU using the thunderbolt 3. Gen 11 graphics on the go, and then a dedicated external GPU plugged in when you're home.
Orrrrrrr... wait another year for Tiger Lake cpus, 10nm+, it'll come with Gen 12 graphics... targeting 60fps in e-sports games at 1080p.
This or levovo c940 or s940 ?
This!
The XPS for sure!
Btw real world Dell Xps 32gb i7 4k is 2.5 to 3 hours (on battery conservation mode). Its useless to use on the go so I'm sending it back.
Lenovo C940 or Dell xps 13 2 in 1
Lenovo
Still waiting on an i9 icelake processor
There are no i9 processors for the U series
I let down after seeing that small trackpad
wait a minute, so this is faster than mac book pro 13 in 2019 ?
Rip price
Hey nice review. If you still have this laptop I'd like it if you can support me with it. I really need one for productivity.
Coil noise and bad thermal management!
The hardest decision I have had to make is the Arctic White vs the black I just ordered the 2020 dell xps 13 2 in 1 with 4k screen 7390 i7 10th generation 1tb "32gb" of ram 4k and 3 years accidental damage warranty and the ethernet full-size USB 3 round hub for just under $3400 Canadian dollars tax and delivery included.....I ordered the black one but I'm still thinking I should change order to white at $50 more, well I'm going to go to best buy to once in on the 26 of August 2020 and compare, dell gives 30 days to send back haha #Dilemmas 😂😂😂🇨🇦🍁
Did you go with black or white in the end. I have same dilemma. Would like white keyboard , black bezels. Shame is not an option
Dell provides more bass than the Iphone that's why you think the phone is louder than the laptop,but i think i love the bass of the laptop
Might have to leave Mac for this.
Me:omg the oled screen looks cool. guess i will buy it
My wallet:how about no
Not OLED
“Best 13” windows laptop”? I think the new HP Spectre 13 OLED might give it some stiff competition 😬
Yeah and especially now that HP finally moved to Windows Precision drivers on the trackpad
stan_sprinkle Indeed! My Blue Spectre arrived a week ago and the trackpad is flawless; 2 finger scrolling is buttery smooth
Banding was terrible on the OLED panel I had. Make sure and look for that, because it just gets worse over time.
Dave Lane Thanks for the heads up I’ll look into it
I thought i7 10th gen has 6 cores
The older comet lake 14nm 10th gen did have a 6 core model. The newer ice lake 10nm 10th only have 4 core for the XPS 13 model. The 10nm version is just as good as the 6 core 14nm model and it's more power efficient. The ice lake iris G7 graphics in the i7 model is 50% faster than the UHD 620 model in the older XPS 13 model. Dell opt for the 25watt ice lake model in the new XPS 13 2 in 1 model and it's faster than other 13" ice lake laptop from HP, Lenovo, Apple, ect since they use the 15watt model.
I have no problems with this keyboard
4gb of ram on the 1k model ? Dang...
@Kronixio surface labtop 3 comes standard with 8gb of ram at 999. It could cut back in other things though.
8GB RAM is too small let alone 4GB
Seems to be a lot of issues in this laptop, could you please create a
video about it? It would really help a lot of people including me.
Please read the comments from the bottom of this Dell official page.
Thanks.

putting a microsd instead of another usb c 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
1:22
Honestly, 1800 mbps for a $2.7k laptop is unacceptable. Especially since you can't swap in a faster drive.
just fyi solder is not pronounced 'sol-der' but 'SAAAder'
Hi You got that wrong! It's ONLY Americans that CANNOT pronounce SOL-DER correctly. It is pronounced using the "L" - just like in "sol-diers", soldiers are not described as "SAAADiers".
5:25
Soldering = no go
Then compact 2 in 1 is not for you.
Everything is nice except those ugly silver hinges..
I'm agree...
