Agreed a little on the plain side, it does feel very solid though, feels premium.

Nope there isn't a start up chime

some models in other countries have a startup chime,i dont know what country is this

The start up chime is something only hybrid and electric vehicles have. The chime you probably mean is the seat belt warner.

Nope it does not

It was around $2k

Nope it's not :)

Yep it has a "sport" mode, although honestly it doesn't make much of a difference

Ok thx

That's great to hear, thanks for sharing!

I guess it depends where you are, but certainly managed to pick this one up in store without any wait :)

@@nnnnebbbb oh ok and nice

Oh and also, what I found was all the standard Xbox were sold out, but this one as a bundle was not! Guess everyone defaults to checking the standard ones only 😅

@@nnnnebbbb wow

Hi Naren, you are correct the aspect ratio is 16:9, it is not the 4k one, it is only 1080p

Isn't this the 9305 model released in 2021 (the old design with the updated specs)?

Thanks for sharing that, that's very useful to know! Glad you're enjoying the MSI, let us know how it goes later on as well! :)

@@nnnnebbbb Thanks... Costco has 90 days return policy so I'll have a good amount of time to test... Also, XPS 13 in top config is also on sale there lol.. $1600 plus tax making the difference of $250 since mine was $1350 plus tax. Every day I look at it wondering, but common sense is telling me I do not need to spend $250 more for only OLED screen.

Ah right nice. Not sure how decent the screen is, but from my experience the speakers are a notable point of weakness with the Dell, quite a big one at that.. so if that's important to you take note! I guess build quality is also a factor? The dell is pretty solid on that, as is the battery life

@@nnnnebbbb I found the build quality of MSI to be pretty nice so far in the 2 days that I have it in my ownership. I thought it was plastic, but apparently, it's CNC machined aluminum, hard to tell honestly since it's painted matte black. Several review sites state it's aluminum and on the MSI website, they mention making it by CNC so I assume aluminum since can't cut CNC plastic. Also, speakers on my MSI are worse than on my 2015 Macbook pro 13 lol.. So that tells you something but I did not get it for music listening so it's almost an irrelevant point for me specifically. I assume you have an FHD+ display on your XPS? If yes, then it's pretty much the same thing on the MSI FHD+ 16:10 ratio. Is your panel 120 or 60 HZ? P.S. Some review sites reported MSI to have on par build quality to XPS and HP Spectre X360 and some reported slight flex on the screen/lid/cover which I thankfully do not experience on mine. Maybe they worked it out who knows... IMHO all of the choices from different brands have few bad apples here and there. Just out of curiosity I'm going to see if Best Buy has any XPS on display so I can check it out and specifically explore build quality.

I do prefer the newer one, but with fewer ports, and especially the big price diff when I bought mine, my view was the old design was better overall.

Haha it absolutely is! I shall invest in a tripod, thanks for the input :)

You're welcome to have your own views on it, but there will be others that appreciate some honest feedback as well.

Hey Johel, the speedometer cannot be changed from mph to kmh, you'd need a new cluster

Haven't got a tripod yet, but thanks for the input! :)

@@nnnnebbbb Np. Hey, I just ordered a brand new Dell 2021 XPS 13 (9310) model, i5 8GB RAM, 256 SSD, Windows 11. I should get it Monday. I was using a cheap ass Chromebook for school (that my college loaned me) but I found it to be inadequate. I read all the reviews and the Dell XPS 13 is considered one of the best. Great for school. I like the all aluminum quality build. I also wanted a good screen and keyboard and this Ultra Book was highly rated on both. I did upgrade to the FHD+ 1900x1200 display with 500 nit brightness. I didn't pay extra for OLED 4K or touchscreen because I don't need those. I read the 4K display eats up your battery anyway. I can't wait to get it!

Congratulations! Sounds like a good choice, I was focusing on the same things as you when I was looking (this is actually my second XPS, I'd still recommend overall :)). Your i5 is probably a better choice if you don't need the extra computational power, should operate with less heat and better battery life than mine. Would be keen to see how your screen compares! Do a video of yours when you get it? :)

@@nnnnebbbb Yeah, I could have gone with the FHD 1920x1080 400 nits, but I did decide to spend just a little more and get the FHD+ 1920x1200 500 nits to have a really sharp display. I've had gaming laptops before, but this is not for that. This model has the newer i5-1135G7 12th generation, so it should be fine, less battery usage. Dell had this configuration for $979. Sure, I can take a video of display when I get it.

@@A_Few_Thoughtsfyi, the processor you have got is 11th Gen not 12th Gen..it says in the processor name you mentioned - i5-11-35G7... Please check

Yep, Australian spec

I agree, time to invest in a tripod perhaps! :)

I would still buy this one. I personally care about speaker quality, and it's a shame it's mediocre at best, but for the price you pay (there are regularly big discounts), I couldn't find a competitor as well-specified with the premium build (actual build, quality screen, battery..) for the same money. *For context, my previous laptop before this was also a Dell XPS 13 :)

Is there a big difference between the 11th gen 2020 and 2021 versions?

I haven't tried the 2021 version, but I would think if the chip is the same model then in theory it would bid minimal if at all?

Yes exactly same chip i7. Im trying to figure out the difference, so far it just looks like the screen size is 0.1in bigger not sure if its worth paying extra 260 for. Some good black Friday deals on

Ah right you mean overall, not just the chip? For me the price difference when I bought wasn't worth it, and the 2020 version also has more ports which I find more useful.

Hi Ahmad, I've actually posted a 1 month review video to follow up this one :), worth checking out ruclips.net/video/TTUipxaWaNs/видео.html To summarise though, the original laptop that arrived (the one you see in this video) had a faulty trackpad (was loose and rattling), and the speakers had really poor audio quality (maybe related to the trackpad?). Since then they sent me a new one, and I've not had any issues with it so far. So far so good, not withstanding the speakers which still don't sound very good.. I would still recommend this one, overall very solid build quality, strong battery life, and good value compared to the competition.

@@nnnnebbbb thank u. will watch the vid

I mean it did become slight hot for me but thats maybe because it was my firstever laptop

Dell sell both designs in parallel, have a look at their website.

@@nnnnebbbb You can't really say that's a 2021 XPS 13 when it's a few years old.

Have a look at their website, it is a current model, and was purchased new at the time of video. Dell sell both concurrently

@@nnnnebbbb I think you should add the 9305 designator to reduce any confusion

@@CallOn84 it’s 2021 9305

Yep that's right 9305 (has a slightly larger bezel around the screen)

@@nnnnebbbb also around the keyboard?

Yep I believe the keyboard spans to the edges on the new-look version. Are you comparing both? From my perspective, when I got mine there was a fairly steep price difference between the 2 like-for-like on specs, so the slight screen size and keyboard difference weren't justified for me. Keep in mind the new-look has 1 fewer USB port

Yes, the price difference, in Europe, is about 200€. But, what I do not understand is why the new model is heavier, when the fingerprint is smaller.

Yea you're right, the dimensions are smaller in every way. Perhaps it's the larger screen? Maybe that weighs more? In case it's relevant for you as well, if you get a choice for the SSD between the "CL35 M.2" and the "PCIe NVMe" versions, get the PCI one. I had both option on the 2 laptops, all else equal, the PCI version had significantly faster read/write speeds based on the benchmarks
