Dell XPS 13 7390 (Late 2019) Review

- Lisa Gade reviews the refreshed Dell XPS 13 for late 2019. The design and display offerings are the same as the previous generation, but the 13.3” laptop makes the jump to Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake processors. You can get it with a 6 core i7 CPU, which is pretty impressive for an Ultrabook this thin and light. The Dell has WiFi 6, a Microsoft Precision trackpad, full HD and 4K touch screen options and Thunderbolt 3 ports. It’s available in 3 colors and starts around $949.

I don’t need a laptop, I just play your reviews in the background and imagine I have a cool aunt who loves tech as much as me.
😂👌🏻
Same. I already have a good laptop I got recently and a gaming PC I’ve had for a few years. I’ve been watching her reviews for years though LOL
I just like to keep up on the laptop market. I buy a new one every couple of years.
She'd be the coolest!
Right in the feels!
I have a new Inspiron 13 5391, I love it, no complaints so far. I can see some design similarities here.
I don't see many reviews of the lower Inspiron models but it is a real alternative for those who like value for money.
TIMING SO PERFECT. Been waiting for this review so i can buy it black friday
@@omo308 for the same config ( I7, 16gb ram, 512 gb sd, win10 pro i see $16399.99 . where do you see 1300.

@@omo308 Thank you for your response. Yeah, Now I am trying to do FHD instead of UHD
Just bought it.. Haven't had a computer in a decade I am excited
I got the previous 9370 after watching your review of it. Best expensive tech purchase I ever made. Really great reviews. (And really great t-shirt collection, how about a store for them? :D )
Love your reviews! No nonsense, and everything I want to know about a laptop.
Thanks, Lisa. Once again, you nail notebook reviews like absolutely nobody else. It was because of you that I ended up buying the Yoga 910 (4k/16GB) a few years ago. Anyway... XPS seems nice, and I believe the best value may be the FHD display, but one should definitely get 16GB these days in my opinion. Personally I would go with 4K and set everything to 2x scaling so everything looks large but very sharp still.
One of the coolest T-shirts you've had on recently...
Just discovered you and instant subscribe. Also, just purchased this laptop and I need to thank you for the breakdown.
Lisa, pls. compare this to Surface Laptop 3 with 16GB RAM and Intel CPU?
Love the XPS 13. Great laptop if you need decent grunt and ease of use while on the move.
Awesome review(I just decided to order this XPS-13 i7-10710U UHD laptop and wanted more info even though I already decided to buy it). The important thing is to have more number of words per minute and cram a lot of information per minute. Most reviewers don't realize that this is youtube and NOT TV, so if I miss a word I can always go back. Very informative and efficient. Thanks
how do you find the 6 core laptop ? and if you dont mind, how much did you get it for ? thankyou :)
JDDD33 sir :( it still with friend relative in California(it was delivered just before the lockdown) ... hopefully I will have it with me soon(as soon as travel opens up ) 😒
How is it? I’m thinking of getting one used. Does it thermal throttle a lot?
Great review as always! I'm now considering between this xps and the surface laptop 3 (now lower priced for black friday) - can you guys tell me if the difference in the lpddr3/4 is a considerable advantage for the lpddr4 (in the surface), and also because of the iris+ - I get the impression that the surface has better stats?
Thank you very much Lisa! Bought one right after watching this review! :D
How's it been? Would you now recommend?
Possibly the coolest t-shirt featured in your videos. Ever!
Here’s a hint for removing the bottom cover-after removing the screws, place a suction cup toward the front edge (the edge opposite the hinges). With the suction cup flat on the bottom case, turn the suction cup one quarter turn or so to create a good grip, squeeze the handles together (if that is the type of suction cup you are using), and lift. It should come up easily and you likely won’t break tabs or dent or mark the sides. You may have to to push toward the front edge while lifting, but the bottom should come up easily.
Lisa, I like the compactness and portability of this laptop, so I’m contemplating a USED 16GB FHD XPS 13 7390 2in1 at the same price of a new 8GB HP Omen 15 inch. Is it better to just get the new Omen instead with better screen, gpu, and newer albeit bulkier and less portable?
What about the ConceptD from Acer . Good for digital art, rendering and comics?
I love your reviews. Thank you very much. I was wondering what clipon microphone you’re using. Is this a Sony? I’d be grateful if you could share this piece of info with us. Thx again and keep up the good work.
Mine has a problem with the laptop not reading my headphone . I've uninstalled and re-installed the audio drive multiple times and still can't fix the problem. I might just have to resort to bluetooth headphones
I'm trying to decide on a light and small laptop for architecture students (I use Photoshop, illustrator, rhino, Revit, cad, etc). Right now I'm thinking about the HP Spectre 13', this one, the Asus zenbook 14 and the Lenovo yoga c940 (14"), any recommendations would be great! Thank you
Thanks for calling out the 6-core 9th gen i7 processor and the integrated graphics. Still think it's worth going with the XPS 13 2-in-1 with the 10th gen for a bit more money. Giving up two cores for better battery life and better graphics seems worth a bit of a premium.
That’s unfortunately an Intel mess. Launching Comet Lake and Ice Lake both marketed as 10th gen. One for cheaper laptop the other for the most premium one (in order to address few orders with their 10nm capacity). I bet this one has the TDP set to 25W (or something even higher in actual consumption) while the Ice Lake is set to 15W seen the design of the 2-1 model.
The 2 in 1 has a garbage keyboard and insane coil whine
@@NicolaMastrandrea 2 in 1 uses the 25w i7
Love watching you and love the shirt
How does the XPS stack up with the Latitude when it comes to durability and reliability? Which one is more likely to perform at a high level for 7 years? Would it be the Latitude since it's a business laptop?
Loving these 13" reviews. Zenbook 13 next?
Mind blown when i figured out your t-shirt. Where do I acquire one?
Had to restart watching this video got mesmerized by that shirt 🤩
What do you think is the best 2-in- 1 laptop for an artist/animator who wants to run different programs at the same time?
8gb of ram vs 16 gb...is there much of a difference in performance? Should I pay extra for the upgrade or get the black friday deal on the 8gb ram, i7 CPU model?
Is the keyboard on this laptop the one that's similar to the butterfly keyboard on macbooks or is it a normal one? I want to avoid the butterfly keyboard type as long as possible
The battery life seems to have improved a lot on this laptop, I'm not sure if this is due to Dell updates or the "machine learning". I'm getting around 5 hours+ these days which is really good (i have the 4K version). You know you are in the premier league when the biggest complaint people have about your laptop is that the screen is overkill. I would say the high price tag is justified. If you brought a cheap HP, it would end up broken after a few years. I'm confident I'll still be using this Dell 5 years down the line.
at a grand plus, you would think that they at least included an Nvidia MX-series
is this the same keyboard as on the regular XPS 15 currently on sale?
What comes after 7390? 7400? or is that reserved for the Dell Latitude
I'm on the cusp of buying one but I aboslutely need to know if I can still edit 4k on this i5 machine. Because I can currently do it with a little lag on a 6 year old acer with 4GB RAM .. Please let me know
i3, i5, or i7, does it have any impact on autonomy of the battery?
I know I'm late but I just ordered this and I cant wait to pick it up!
Same! Enjoy it
What is the difference between XP’s 13 7390 home and xps 13 7390 for small businesses?
Hi Lisa, I'm looking for a laptop that I could use for the next 5 years (Futureproof). any suggestions, I'm currently looking at ( Hp specter, Dell XPS 13, (Mac pro 16'', but i"m Microsoft /Android guy n it mad expensive too.) I've had currently the Hp Pavilion DV5 for 9 years and besides the crappy battery life since day one, everything was good about it. Thank you in advance, Love your Channel, keep up the good work. by the way, I do not do heavy work with it no video Ed..., no gameplay but I don't mind having more power. i care about sound, video quality, good/average battery life.
Could you do a tutorial on the different Intel chips? i3,i5,i7,i9 and all the different generations, it's doing my head in. And Intel's got more lakes than Finland too. Coffee Lake, Whiskey Lake ' I want to drown in a Lake lake. Am I the only one who's confused by all this?
@moo I see this like a three-dimensional matrix of different capabilities across the line-up. But its damn confusing, I'm sure you would agree.
Here’s what I know:
i9 9900K
The first digit represents the generation (or first 2 Digits from now on because intel has released their 10th gen cpus). So when you see something like a i7 27XX, you can tell it’s an outdated processor since it’s 8 generations behind.
The second digit just stands for what cpu it is.
9900K = i9
9700K = i7
And so on (at least from what I have picked up)
Whiskey Lake, Comet Lake, Ice lake just stand for what architecture the cpu are on. The new ice lake special because it introduces 10 nm intel cpus.
I don’t know a lot about the rest. The U at the end means it‘s for ultrabooks. K CPUs are overclockable (not K exclusive i think). KS is preoverclocked.
Anyone correct me if I’m wrong please.
@@sohn7767 You are clearly very well informed, and I would be the last person on the planet to say you are otherwise. But do you think a video clarifying this would be useful to Joe Public? Lisa has an academic background and has great teaching/cohesive communications skills. So, if anyone is going to put this into perspective, it's going to be her.
Mitchell Morgan, can’t agree more. Laptop processor are super confusing. There are like 3 i7 rn: 10510U, 10710U, 1065G7. The ice lake number system feels like complete randomness and whiskey lake isn’t much better.
@@sohn7767 Lisa needs to a review on this, I think it would be a hugely watched video.
6 cores impressive, dell used to give you a free dongle for the usba ports/hdmi, ethernet ports they took away.
Mine came with a free USB-A port dongle.
Sometimes, when charging the heat is raised dramatically and the fan sound get very louder.
Is this normal otherwise how can i fix it?
Thanks in advance
Which is better? This (exact version you have for review)? Or the HP Elite Dragonfly? I have an online business and do a lot of video conferencing. What I dislike most about the laptop I have now is that it runs really hot, and the fan blows loud that participants can't hear at the time. And when I'm recording a video of my screen for courses, it has the fan noise running in the background. The keyboard is also really loud when we are on calls (MS Surface Pro 3 btw). I'm going to need durability for travel, speed (most important), and quiet.
sounds like you already have an answer.
I’m curious why xps is now 7000 series when it used to be 9000 series. I was afraid that they might be using cheaper materials on 7000 but I’m glas I was wrong
Loved the review but I love your shirt even more!
Best laptop for designer? 15 inch
Just bought this, with touch 4K display, 16Gb i7-10510U though because single thread speed is what I care about, silver/carbon with 512Gb SSD
@MobileTechReview You could make a good chunk of money with affiliate links to where we can purchase the t-shirts you wear.
Awsome print :)
What would they call the next XPS13?
Got the 15.6 inches with 8 cores icore9 chipset in it and 32 gbs of ram and 1 terabyte for storage and a nvida 1650 graphic card installed
It uses the same i7 as the Prestige 15, why are the benchmarks so much better here?
what score in benchmark?
Great content!
Doesn't sound like they have changed anything that would fix the throttling issues on this generation of XPS machines. I love my XPS from 2018 but the throttling really keeps me from doing anything productive with all those i7 specs. Currently running a screenshare and a big canvas Photoshop file will cause my generation to throttle down.
IMO stick with the mid range specs and don't expect more from an ultrabook
Will you review the new Lenovo Yoga C*40 line? :)
I'll be reviewing the Yoga C940... Lenovo says they'll go out next week.
To get a 1 TB SSD you have to opt for the UHD display and 32 GB RAM! I want the 1 TB as the SSD is soldered on but not sure the upgrade to UHD from FHD is worth it or needed. Any thoughts on the benefits of UHD screen when compared to the FHD screen? Thanks
The SSD isn't soldered on, it's an upgradable m.2 NVMe SSD
@@TechnoidProduction Thanks but the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 7390 SSD is soldered on and not available for upgrade on this system. See PC World Review: www.pcworld.com/article/3446046/dell-xps-13-2-in-1-7390-review.html
and comment. SSD: 512GB Toshiba/Kioxia BG4 NVMe PCIe, permanently soldered
Hi, Is the SSD upgradable? Can we upgrade the SSD from 256 gb to 512 gb? As i can the specs are showing 256GB PCIe NVMe x4 Solid State Drive Onboard.
Yes, you can upgrade the SSD.
Thinness for the sake of thinness sacrificing I/O ports is a miss. Increased thickness with an increase in battery life (interchangeable battery for travel) are necessary if the tradeoff is a weeny video capable UltraBook.
Similarly for phones.
@@gz6616 Absolutely!
meh, it works great for my music production needs and some light gaming
@@RafitaPapita2099 Sure it does. It works for anyone with minimal needs who likes UltraBooks. Where it fails is with those seeking a more 'crossover' class machine who seek greater functionality without moving to a gamer-workstation class machine. And that's a shame as boutique attributes have replaced functional design.
@@sdushdiu Every laptop is a compromise. It's the typical "you have three choices, pick any two"-situation with some being mutually exclusive due to technical constraints:
can't have high-power graphics and CPU while being super-portable, and so on.
Some examples that don't follow the trend of being ever thinner and forgoing "traditional" ports throughout their ultra-portable product lines are Fujitsu and generic brands that use Clevo-barebones. The Lifebook S938 with its 21 hour battery life, optional 2nd battery, LTE, VGA, HDMI, docking port, WQHD display, RJ-45 ethernet comes to mind...
Your options open up *significantly* once you move up to 14" machines, though.
Lisa, Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have lots of good food, especially "Pi."
Himanshu Soni whoosh.
Looking to buy a new laptop. Is this one better than MacBook Pro 13” or 15” ?
Depends on your preferred operating system. Mind the keyboard issue on the Macbook Pros, I think they reolved it on the new 16" only
What is the apps for test display sRGB?
Can you review the Lenovo c940 , would love to see that
Lenovo should be getting us a review loaner next week (finally!).
@@mobiletechreview looking forward to it!

Love that shirt!!
Would love and XPS reg vs 2 in 1 comparison
Wished the 7390’s display was 16:10 aspect ratio like the 2-in-1
The 2&1 is the better option, 16/10 and better processor, the 1980 / 1200 is great,blowing another 200+ on the 4k is your choice
@@esj4373 i thought the 6 core was the better processor for cpu intensive task, but the icelake for gpu tasks?
Same. If they decide to do this next year. Take my money.
Well, your wish has come true
@@nicogutholz9399 I didn't believe you. So I just googled!!!!! I just picked up a Surface Laptop. Now I don't think I can leave this 3:2 aspect.
Can you review the Motorola razr in your next review
I need to know what is a good buy for this black friday/ cyber monday for a laptop that is great for video editing/ photo editing without breaking the bank. Max budget $1500? Really want the razer but man they are expensive
Razer blade stealth is on sale for like $1600 fully loaded at Best buy just saying... I personally bought a fully loaded xps 7390 2 in 1 for $1670 all in from Dell
@@JTE95 What kinda specs are we talking about when you say fully loaded?
@@HDBnB1 for the stealth, gtx1650, i7 6 core processor, and 16gb ram with 4k screen so yeah your battery life is going to blow chunks. The xps I got I wasn't overly concerned about graphics but I have the 10th gen ice lake i7 with 16gb ram and Iris plus graphics and 4k screen so I'm happy for what I paid
@@HDBnB1 also forgot to mention it's got a 512gb ssd... It was my main contender to the Dell and a Lenovo x1 extreme.

Please review Dell Inspiron 13 5391
Damn. You got a Sharp 4K display? That means PWM. The AU Optronics 4k panel is PWM free.
can this handle tor browser?
Apart from your reviews I really like your t-shirts.
I think it's kind of a bummer that they went with the lower graphics for the new chips. If you have the new processors, wouldn't you want the graphics to be new/better, too? Boo! lol. But otherwise, awesome review, as always! Still love that shirt!
I just bought this thing and within an hour of use the touch screen registers phantom inputs. Such a shame! Perfect laptop if not for the otherwise troublesome defect with the touch screen.
Love the tee-shirt!
I want one. Where did you get it?
I love your t-shirts so nice.
Purchased Dell XPS 13 7390 , 12 months back but after 1 year of purchase getting lot of issues.... I Personally don't recommend if you are a regular user, its not that efficient for software developers. have keyboard, head phones issue and also get lot of sound from the Laptop and due to this get disturbance while on call
Does anybody know if dongles are included or to be brought separately?
there is 1 usb-c to usb-a dongle
Is dell still doing the 16g ram forced to buy 4k screen?
Luis J no
But they force you to go 16gb ram if you want a bigger SSD.
Yes, they are. At least here in brazil
I'm going with the 2 & 1 over this, has better resolution 1980/1200 - getting the ultra HD screen for 300 more is a waste of money on such a small screen. Also faster processor & 16/10 vs 16/9 on the 2&1
One USB type A port and I woulda been sold.. trying to get a good Logitech gaming mouse attached requires a dongle
Bluetooth.... lol
@@jakestaude8767 uhh Bluetooth doesn't have the same response rates... Lol
Somehow I was watching a music video by Warrant, when after it ended this review came up...huh
Anyone know is this good for designers?
Is this laptop still good to buy today? I’ve had a surface pro4 but I would like a new laptop instead.
Of course it is. As for me, I'm trying to decide between the microsoft surface book 2 and this one. I'd go with the dell xps 13 9370, 4k, but it's still too much money.

is this laptop good for software engineering? about to go to collage and thinking about picking this one up instead of the 15 inch would love some feedback if anyone has one

they did an Apple by going USB-C only. Can someone please explain to me why so many manufacturers find Apple's most inconvenient inventions to be so attractive to copy and in the end to deliver more user unfriendly products?

REVIEW MSI GT 76 PLEASE.
Everyone needs to remember that XPS 13 had a terrible problem with the left hinge dying. Trust in Dell has been somewhat eroded because of this.
Nice one.
16:9 display is a show stopper for me in Late 2019.
Same, but literally NO ONE, other than apple, Microsoft and a few Chinese’s company’s want to invest in a better screen.
@@1231legomaniac There is also Asus StudioBook Pro X and LG Gram 17. And yes - Matebooks are excellent. Can not imagine I would prefere an XPS 16:9 to it.
