Seconded. This variant comparison review is perfect, superb. Answered everything about these two laptops screens that I couldnt find the answer to anywhere else at all. Perfect, thank you.
Such and detailed and yet to-the-point comparison. You deserve more recognition on youtube. Regarding the 2-in-1 I'm quite surprised that the ssd is soldered on as well.. I can't remember any other machine with soldered ssd. It is going to be the deciding factor for many people including myself..
Yeah, I am not sure what dell are trying to do here! They have also soldered on the ram on the latest alienware m15 and m17. I hope they are not trying to creep towards apples closed system policy!
I can't believe they actually fit the vapor chamber in that small chassis, incredible stuff! Also, thanks for the review, opening up and seeing it with my own eyes was the only way I would be convinced haha, Cheers!
haha thanks. I have started shooting a productivity video, I am focusing on davinci resolve, unity and blender. Its taken me longer than expected to complete it! there is not enough hours in the day. I can tell you that resolve is smooth to work in but export times are quite slow compared to Final Cut Pro I am used to working with
@@MashITTech Haha no worries, you are doing an amazing job! Btw, just my 2 cents. The soon to be released spectre 14 is probably a great laptop to review once it's out. It's kind of the best of both worlds between the 15/13 XPS/spectre but only the HP now has 14inch :). I'm still torn between buying a Dell for black Friday or wait for the new spectres to come out and see which one is better.
People keep talking about these spectres. I haven't seen anything about them yet! I will get one ordered as soon as they release. I also want to review the new Thinkpad X1 nano too. Knowing Dell I doubt there will be any amazing deals on the 11th gen laptops, they will probably just try and sell off their old gear. If you are on the fence hold off for the spectre reviews. Also Dell regularly hold sales/discount codes so I can guarantee it will get discounted again
@@MashITTech Yea surprisingly they are only selling off 2nd last gens for now. Wtf LOL. Either way, old XPS hooked to an eGPU would still be a steal :). But yea... I'm staying patient. Spectres are almost exact same performance, same build quality but cheaper.
I haven't had any HP for the last year (the range in the UK hasn't been great, the last laptop we had in was an omen 15 8th gen). But the thing I have always hated with the envy and spectres is the keyboards, they often have solver keys with white backlight which just doesn't work and the layout on the UK keyboard is pretty poor :(
Thanks for this, another great review. In Australia, those exact 2 laptops are $100 apart but the 2 in 1 is bundled with the Dell Premium Pen. I ended up going for the 2 in 1 as I was so nervous about the matte screen after owning (and sending back due to wobbly touchpads) two XPS 9500s - their matte screens were definitely fuzzy. Maybe I should have waited for this review, but I'm also happy with the idea of a cooler lap.
The vapour chamber does make a real difference, it was much cooler for lap use and actually runs faster. The fact you get a pen is the cherry on top as we certainly don’t get that in the U.K. I still personally prefer the standard xps as I love Matt screens but Gary who actually does the design and drawing work will naturally prefer the 2in1! Let me know how you get on with yours?
oh man, I feel your pain! I would be checking the order status every hour :) Dell often beat their estimated delivery dates. My XPS's were due 28th October and arrived on the 14th
thanks for the review! lots of good info. Been saving for a new machine for a while now and i'm so tempted to commit to the 2 in 1 but honestly what really bothers me is the split left and right arrow keys. They look way too small and little things like that can drive me crazy
I have been ok with the layout, I am much happier with it than the blade stealth which put the cursors into the keyboard (up between shift and ?) and drive me nuts
It would depend on the type of development. I personally use a Mac for dev work but that’s because I create apps in iOS/android so need mac plus I do a lot of web dev and I find that because Mac OS is nix based it is easy to set up a test environment.
as a 2-in-1 owner of inspiron I can honestly say I barely use the tent mode nor tablet mode - I have an 15" 5000 series... maybe this helps someone debating it
Dell has lost their way. I have this laptop of the same vintage the described here, supposedly a flagship unit. I would stay away from it. I had major trouble with it as did many other buyers of the 9310 (dangerous overheating...check the web, loosing files, etc.). Terrible experience with Dell (couldn't get the parts to repair despite having Pro Plus warranty). After escalating to 2 management levels above the Tech Support person, finally, they sent me a refurb replacement. No more Dell for me.
Hi! I just bought the dell xps 13 3910 and right away i noticed how my keyboard was getting really hot and i just finished the windows setup and the bottom of the laptop was really hot aswel, even when the laptop was idling on desktop it was hot. Am someone who likes to use my laptop on my lap rather than on a table. I seen people who uder volt it using throttlestop and use thermal pads. So my question is, is it really worth it going through all that trouble just to try and keeping the laptop cool or should i just get a refund and look else where. One of the big reasons am even considering trying to fix this heat problem is because i love how this laptop looks and its lightweight
Muy buen análisis y gracias por este aporte, tengo una duda, escuche en algún otro video en RUclips que le salió mal en dos ocasiones el DELL XPS 9310 standard (Falla en la pantalla “Rayas en el display” Equipo de origen DELL CANADA. Ustede la sabe algo de esto? O pudo haber sido algún caso aislado. Pregunto porque pretendo comprar una lap top XPS 9310 2 en 1. Gracias.
Thank you for your review, but please can you tell me if you were using two laptops with FHD or was the 2-in-1 using the 4K display? It's the biggest issue that is causing hesitancy for me in purchasing one, I just don't know which way to go.
Both these laptops were 1200p. IMHO this is the best option for most people. At 13” 1200p still looks really crisp and you have better battery and no scaling issues
@@MashITTech thank you very much for replying. Battery life is not an issue for me, I will be plugged into constantly. The issue is that I want to use it primarily for working on Adobe AE and Premier Pro, and I heard somewhere that the 4K version allows for better workflow as the screen looks different. But I'm a little confused by this... does it mean that all icons and fonts and programs will be tiny and not work right? I'm on the cusp of getting one of these things but this one niggling query is halting progress.... I don't want to regret getting the 1200p, nor do I want to regret getting the 4K! Can you give me any idea of the pros and cons of the 4K, as I'm simply not finding the information elsewhere. Thanks so much for any info.
Sorry for the delay. OK, with the 4k there is 4x as many dots per inch on the screen, this means that the image is incredibly sharp and you can adjust the windows scaling to suit your needs. If you have good eye sight, you can run at a low scaling factor and see a lot more on the 13" screen. The 1200p has a lot lower DPI so you will probably run at either 100% or 125% scaling and therefore have less displayed on your screen. I hope this helps but let me know if not and I will try and explain further
@@MashITTech Firstly, thanks a lot for taking the time, really appreciate it as not finding these answers elsewhere! So, I understand what you're saying, and that makes sense. What happens though when you watch regular HD content on the 4K screen, does it appear blurry? And what happens if you don't have great eyesight and have to scale higher, do icons and software appear blurry? I'm stuck right now because I want the 32gig RAM but this only comes on the 4K display (I think I'd rather the regular FHD). What I hear is that most software applications are not geared towards 4K, which sounds like I might run into trouble. Also, I'm assuming that 4K runs hotter alongside reduced battery life?
It won’t make a massive difference to the temps but will the battery. With regards to the image, it will be incredibly clear due to the pixel density. None of the icons will be blurry and video won’t be blurry. You may have the odd app that still hasn’t sorted scaling for high dpi displays but that is getting less and less these days
@Mash IT, thanks so much for such a detailed review, enjoyed every minute of it, you are doing great, and hope you'll get more famous!;) I really want to buy this as a replacement for a laptop and an iPad. Do you think this is enough comfortable to replace an iPad? I heard some problems occur on the 2-in 1's. how heavy is it compared to a Microsoft surface, or an iPad? Do you think this can last me for 10 years? Because if I paid this money I would like it to last me for a long while. I recently bought a latitude 7410 2-in 1 and returned it, because I was very disappointed with the battery life, the headphone jack didn't work, it was too heavy, it took very long to start, and some more issues. I really wanna make the right decision, I'm ready to pay a lot of money but I want it should be for the right thing. I am using it as a laptop to work all day, most of the day it's plugged in to monitors, but sometimes I want to use it in the car or as a portable device. What's your opinion? Is this the right device for me? And what do you think of the issues I mentioned? Hope it's not too much for you. Thanks so much, and looking forward hearing from you!
Hi Joe, this is a big question to answer but I will do my best. Short answer I wouldn’t call it an iPad replacement, but definitely a surface pro replacement (I am actually planning on doing a video comparing it to the surface pro 7). It is quite bulky and heavy to use predominantly as a tablet, I would say it’s perfect as a laptop, good as a drawing device and ok as a tablet. I have no build quality issues with the 2 xps devices I received but I am not sure how well it would hold up for 10 years. At least it looks pretty easy to change the battery should that go, everything else is soldered on. Hope this helps but ask away if I missed anything
@@MashITTech Would you be comfortable saying that this is the best most powerful Windows tablet/Laptop? After having it for over a week, what do you say on the battery life? And how quick is it to start the computer? Thanks for all the info
@@MashITTech Awesome! thanks for the support! I went ahead and bought the XPS 2-in-1 for work/productivity. I think this is exactly what I need. I subbed. Take care bud!
Glad to see a comparison, but i'd recommend getting a little more in depth and hands on with it. Battery life statements were vague, I'd like to know the actual numbers you get under whatever circumstance you feel worth testing. You talked about the keyboards but didn't actually type anything so we could see/hear the actuation. Some close ups on the screen would also help infinitely more than any description of what you think they look like. You also didn't really talk about or show any performance numbers, which given different power limits and thermal solutions, can vary wildly. Glad you made the video, and I hope you don't take this as an attack. It's good content, it just needs more depth. Cheers.
Hi Mike, No, I don't take it personally, I actually welcome any feedback. We have only been dong this a couple of months so still learning! I went into much more detail on each laptops performance in their respective reviews, I was worried if I duplicated that in this comparison people would get bored. Good points on the screen and keyboards, I will try and improve the footage of that in forthcoming reviews 👍
@@MashITTech I did end up watching the other videos, and it answered my other questions. honestly though, I'd suggest including the content in comparisons and just time stamping the videos so people can skip past them. Otherwise you risk having people like me come by from a search, not knowing you have other content, and just skipping out because you don't cover the detail they want. The other option would be explicitly calling out that you have those other videos and linking them at relevent points in the vid. Anyway, great content. I've just ordered my XPS 13, so thanks for the help!
Great review and very helpful! Did you get the chance to use the 2-in-1 outside? Maybe at sunshine? How is the glossy display under this conditions? I consider to buy a 2-in-1 because of the functionality but I'm a bit concerned about the glossy display as I'm using a matt display for over 5 years now.
Great comparison. To me, the choice would be the 2 in 1 version since the slight advantages the standard version has are more than outweighed by the better thermal design on the 2 in 1 version. Better thermals means better performance and longevity and those aspects are more important than the matte screen, slightly larger battery and cheaper price on the standard version, imo.
It would've been better if Dell limited differences between those two options to the form factor, like Lenovo are doing with their standard and Yoga lines, for example. But giving one option a better engineered thermal design makes people like me who don't need a 2 in 1 laptop and who consider thermals a major factor when buying a laptop feel short changed when buying the standard version. In other words, if I'm considering those two, I'll have to pay more to get a 2 in 1 form factor I don't need just to get the better thermals, which I feel is a choice I shouldn't have to make!
Which laptop should I go for the xps 9310 or xps 9310 2-in-1? My primary use is normal day to day tasks like browsing,word,excel,zoom and netflix.I want the xps 9310 for its enhanced battery but I also like the form factor of 2-in-1.Any help would be appreciated.
This is an impossible one to answer :) I personally would say the 9310 but then my colleague who does the design love the 2in1! I guess you have to ask yourself will you really use the 2in1's form factor to justify the extra cost?
Because of the limitation of the video's resolution, during internals, I can see the battery type of standard version is 722KK, but what's the battery type of the 2-in-1 version? Is that XTW9O or something, just too unclear.
Would you rather recommend the Dell XPS 13 9310 (i7 and 16gb ram, 512gb SSD. FHD non-touch) or the Apple Macbook Air (with M1 processor and 8gb ram, 512gb SSD). I am planning on using AutoCAD (for Civil Engineering degree in college).
Great review, David! Wish you to reach a million subscribers very soon! I’m thinking of getting this device, but with Intel Alder lake for better battery life. Do you believe Dell will update this laptop’s chip by the end of this year?
@@MashITTech Thanks for your reply, David! This gives me hope in better future for Windows laptops) And here comes my prophecy: someday your channel will become very popular. So, you won’t be able to reply to every subscriber. But I will show your reply to my children. And they won’t believe me!) Haha! Hope this made you smile a bit) Have a great day, David!

I'm curently looking for a new windows laptop to replace my macbook. I bought a lenovo laptop a few months ago, but decided to return it cause the trackpad was unprecise and WAY! worse than the macbook i had. Is the trackpad good and reponsive on this XPS 13? If not, is there any windows laptop with a good trackpad I can buy regardless of price?
I would say it is one of the best windows trackpads. The only other windows trackpads that are as good are the Razer and surface (laptop and book). That said, they are still not in the same league as a MacBook force touch trackpad. I still use Macs and windows PC's and switch between both systems on a daily basis and I haven't wanted to throw the XPS out the window yet when using the trackpad which really says something :)
@@MashITTech That's a good start i guess. I think the best thing to do is probably to wait for them to get displayed in the stores and try it out myself. Currently they're only available on the dell website and the cheapest model is 2200$ as well so i wanna make shure it's without issues.
@@nicholasskjold989 I'm pretty sure the trackpad on the XPS 9310 is the same as on the 9300, which won't be hard find in the stores. I love the trackpad and keyboard on my 9300, but I've never owned a MacBook, so I don't know how they compare.
Another excellent review, thanks so much for that! Just a few questions - are the speakers the same in both? Also I noticevthe 2 in 1 has no rubber shoes on the keyboard area for when the keyboard is tucked under. Does thst make the laptop slide or the keyboard get scuffed? Also what is the inking like? Thanks!
Thank you mate, sorry I didn't see your question yesterday! The speakers are the same on both models and they both sound great. I am not an expert on inking so I will ask my colleague who does the art for the channel and get his opinion. I was quite careful when placing it on the desk but the carbon fibre finish means it doesn't slip around and scratch but I would still be careful when doing it.
hey can anyone tell me how much better is the 2 in 1s thermal performance compared to the standard xps? a vapour chamber in theory should make a huge difference imo
Thank you for the video really helpful. I still don't know if I will be using the tablet mode. I really like to work and travel, so I am always using it outdors and in beach terraces. I think the glossy screen will be a pain in the neck literally haha.
Only a quick question, the standard clamshell you have on the left with the matte screen, is it touch? Because I can't seam to see any reference to the touch screens on the video, sorry if I managed to miss it.
Hi, great review, thanks alot! I use to work outdoors but also want to have a touchscreen, is there any laptop with matte+touch screen? (Or other solution that will b good for working outdoors apart than matte) (I dont need the uhd and actually prefer fhd for better battery life) And also, is there any 2 in 1 laptop good for outdoor use? Thanks alot :)
Unfortunately most touchscreens are glossy as they put a protective layer on the screen so you don’t damage it with the touch. All of these will be difficult outdoors especially if it is bright where you are (not so much of an issue in U.K. it’s usually raining 😂 )
Love your videos but Damn IT man you were supposed to tell me which one to buy. I'm just as lost as I was before I watched this video. I like the standard 9310 because of the 1185G7 and matte display but it needs to be a 2-in-1 without the stupid hinge and larger chin. When that solution is engineered, it's going to be huge. I could forgive the glossy display by putting a matte screen protector on it but even then, the magnetic stylus isn't compatible with the non-2-in-1 variant.
I have the 2 in 1 and feel like the edge digs into my wrists while typing. Does the regular XPS feel the same way? I'm coming from a Surface Pro 4, and love the screen of the XPS 2 in 1, but miss the comfort of the Surface Pro. I was hoping to like using the XPS on my lap better than the Surface Pro as it is a true keyboard.
Slightly less so but will still dig in a bit of you rest your wrists on the palm rest. The SP is much more comfortable and I think the kick stand is more useful for drawing but I just wish MS would actually update it more regularly (though the SP7+ is a step in the right direction with upgradable SSD)
@@MashITTech Totally agree on the SP needing an update! Thanks for the feedback. I love the Dell 2 in 1, but definitely somewhat disappointed on the typing comfort.
Yes this is true and I go into more detail into the thermal performance in their individual reviews if you are interested. But to sum it up, the 2in1 runs cooler and quieter whilst maintaining a few extra watts under load.
The matte coating is great and still provides an amazing image quality. I actually prefer it to the glossy as you do not get reflections but obviously you loose touch and pen support
It sure is but in all my years of using/supporting laptops I have never had a damaged a screen despite small knocks and drops on the laptops themselves. not by me, I am very careful but as an IT manager with over 200 users I saw a lot of laptops getting dropped, even had one fall off the roof of a car :)
@@MashITTech I don't understand the reflections issue. Don't we all use smartphones and tablets which are all glossy all the time? I've never had a problem with my smartphone, why would it be with a glossy laptop?
XPS 9310 is the model number, or the 2in1 is xps 9310 2in1. And yes unfortunately both have onboard ram. Part way through this video I opened both machines up and the XPS 9310 has a removable m.2 ssd and everything else is soldered. The 2in1 is completely soldered
@@MashITTech ah yes thanks alot i thought the SSD was RAM actually - but then i have to get the 32GB version - but just tried it ( didnt buy yet ) - thats an amazing machine !
I know the 4K will be a fair bit shorter but I haven’t had one in to test yet. Based on previous 4K screens I would imagine you would get approximately 6-7 hours depending on brightness and power settings
I am sorry, I haven't tried the ryzen envy but if it is like previous models then I would take the XPS for the superior build, speakers, form factor and screen.
Well can you tell me like i have the surface laptop 2 They promise like a 12+ hour battery on this thing i only get like around A solid 3_4 hours so whats the battery life in HOURS on this device and i'm talking about PLAIN SURFING watching videos on youtube and stuff
@@MashITTech 9310 2in1 has m.2 for wifi please make video and show where is it. no info yet on internet. it will be cool change wifi later when Bluetooth 5.2 comes out with LE Audio support
@@MashITTech that is sad :( www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/xps-13-9310-2-in-1-laptop/xps-13-9310-2-in-1-setup-and-specifications/internal-slots?guid=guid-647a9bd6-0be5-4b27-9df1-31e3c269abed&lang=en-us here they mentioned about m.2 slot xps 9310 2in1 1tb 32gb for 2000$ is almost ideal but I badly wanted LE Audio support to have finally almost no latency wireless audio experience
Hello, thanks for the video. Could you detail about the difference in batteries (hours and minutes each one for a standar use like videos and office work)
There is not a lot in it but the standard 9310 got slightly longer battery life on light use (which is what you describe) you should expect 8-10 hours of light use. don't get the 4k model if you are concerned about battery, that uses a lot more power
2 in 1 XPS, This is a design defect product, I bought last year, all the rubber strips are peeled due to the heat of CPU. And it’s not under warranty. You will need to pay a whole shell cost to fix and no guarantee for whether it will happen again or not
@@MashITTech you can search dell community. There’re already some cases happened and complained and failed to get the positive response from official. It’s a defects that needs time to find out ....
@@MashITTech to me it looks like it has a pattern on it? from the product photos and the video from a certain angle. or is it "normal"? thanks for your reply, I am confused atm
Yes it does, And it has a soft touch finish. It looks pretty good in person and feels really nice to use but it does pick up palm oils unfortunately. I will see if I can get a good close up with the dslr for you later today
@@MashITTech that would be great thanks! good to hear that it looks nice, but I still can't fully imagine ist. maybe a store in my area has it, to also be able to touch it

Haha fair enough! This was one of our early reviews and I like to think we have improved since releasing this one though we still get plenty of thumbs down 😂
I have already done a games review on the XPS9310 and the internals are pretty much identical. I may do a follow up video with newer drivers and a few extra games people have requested, is there anything in particular you would like to see?
It's not a quality question. And not a knock on your quality. I googled comparison videos because Im choosing between the 2, and screen (for me) is a big part of that. Im glossy and hi-def till i die. Thanks for responding.
I do love glossy but the glare can be a killer if you work in bright environments. Working on a surface pro at the moment and the glare is so bad it feels like I am using a mirror in a bright room 😂
You are very underrated, and one the only RUclipsrs who accually review the new Dell XP’s 13
Thank you mate. We have really enjoyed working with these laptops so it’s nice that it’s appreciated
I second this - thank you!
Totally agree ! I just subbed
You are the sole reason why I actually might pick this up. Thank you
Thank you for the kind words. Just ask away if you have any questions
Seconded. This variant comparison review is perfect, superb. Answered everything about these two laptops screens that I couldnt find the answer to anywhere else at all. Perfect, thank you.
Oh snap, that was fast, just watched the 2-in-1 impression and review. Nice work here ^_^
Thank you mate. Been enjoying the laptops so wanted to get the info out there
Mash IT I REALLY appreciate the internals comparison at the end, especially the thermals.
Such and detailed and yet to-the-point comparison. You deserve more recognition on youtube.
Regarding the 2-in-1 I'm quite surprised that the ssd is soldered on as well.. I can't remember any other machine with soldered ssd. It is going to be the deciding factor for many people including myself..
Yeah, I am not sure what dell are trying to do here! They have also soldered on the ram on the latest alienware m15 and m17. I hope they are not trying to creep towards apples closed system policy!
Great review mate, I really do hope your channel grows. You have some amazing reviews!
Thank you mate, I really appreciate your kind words
A rather unusual and honest approach to describing/comparing laptops. I actually went for the 2 in 1, but based on your review. Thanks 👍🏻
No problem mate. Glad it helped 👍
I can't believe they actually fit the vapor chamber in that small chassis, incredible stuff! Also, thanks for the review, opening up and seeing it with my own eyes was the only way I would be convinced haha, Cheers!
Glad I could help!
Kay, you finally got my subscribe. I keep coming back for video benchmarks XD
haha thanks. I have started shooting a productivity video, I am focusing on davinci resolve, unity and blender. Its taken me longer than expected to complete it! there is not enough hours in the day. I can tell you that resolve is smooth to work in but export times are quite slow compared to Final Cut Pro I am used to working with
@@MashITTech Haha no worries, you are doing an amazing job! Btw, just my 2 cents. The soon to be released spectre 14 is probably a great laptop to review once it's out. It's kind of the best of both worlds between the 15/13 XPS/spectre but only the HP now has 14inch :).
I'm still torn between buying a Dell for black Friday or wait for the new spectres to come out and see which one is better.
People keep talking about these spectres. I haven't seen anything about them yet! I will get one ordered as soon as they release. I also want to review the new Thinkpad X1 nano too.
Knowing Dell I doubt there will be any amazing deals on the 11th gen laptops, they will probably just try and sell off their old gear. If you are on the fence hold off for the spectre reviews. Also Dell regularly hold sales/discount codes so I can guarantee it will get discounted again
@@MashITTech Yea surprisingly they are only selling off 2nd last gens for now. Wtf LOL. Either way, old XPS hooked to an eGPU would still be a steal :). But yea... I'm staying patient. Spectres are almost exact same performance, same build quality but cheaper.
I haven't had any HP for the last year (the range in the UK hasn't been great, the last laptop we had in was an omen 15 8th gen). But the thing I have always hated with the envy and spectres is the keyboards, they often have solver keys with white backlight which just doesn't work and the layout on the UK keyboard is pretty poor :(
Hope You could Do so review with the most expensive own pc.Good luck sir for your future :)
Thanks for this, another great review.
In Australia, those exact 2 laptops are $100 apart but the 2 in 1 is bundled with the Dell Premium Pen. I ended up going for the 2 in 1 as I was so nervous about the matte screen after owning (and sending back due to wobbly touchpads) two XPS 9500s - their matte screens were definitely fuzzy. Maybe I should have waited for this review, but I'm also happy with the idea of a cooler lap.
The vapour chamber does make a real difference, it was much cooler for lap use and actually runs faster. The fact you get a pen is the cherry on top as we certainly don’t get that in the U.K. I still personally prefer the standard xps as I love Matt screens but Gary who actually does the design and drawing work will naturally prefer the 2in1! Let me know how you get on with yours?
@@MashITTech Will do, but the delivery date is 11/11 so the wait will be tough.
oh man, I feel your pain! I would be checking the order status every hour :) Dell often beat their estimated delivery dates. My XPS's were due 28th October and arrived on the 14th
Amazing review and I hope you can do more Dell XPS content! Have a great day! 🍻
I just reviewed the new xps 13 plus 👍
Congrats on an excellent review. You got my subscription. Hope your channel grows. No other XPS13 2 in 1 review is that good!
Thanks John, glad you found it useful :)
Great comparison. Keep up the good work mate.
Thank you mate, glad you enjoyed it.
thanks for the review! lots of good info. Been saving for a new machine for a while now and i'm so tempted to commit to the 2 in 1 but honestly what really bothers me is the split left and right arrow keys. They look way too small and little things like that can drive me crazy
I have been ok with the layout, I am much happier with it than the blade stealth which put the cursors into the keyboard (up between shift and ?) and drive me nuts
Thanks your videio is very helpful I have just ordered a XPS 2in1
Ah congrats, it’s a lovely machine. If you have any questions please just ask
Out of any laptop excluding Mac which one would you suggest to buy for a IT professional developer
It would depend on the type of development. I personally use a Mac for dev work but that’s because I create apps in iOS/android so need mac plus I do a lot of web dev and I find that because Mac OS is nix based it is easy to set up a test environment.
as a 2-in-1 owner of inspiron I can honestly say I barely use the tent mode nor tablet mode - I have an 15" 5000 series... maybe this helps someone debating it
Greetings from Indonesia. Thank you for sharing the differences.
Hello back, no problem at all hope you enjoyed it 👍
Great review! Just a question though, have you had have any issues using the 9310 at all considering you’ve owned it for a while?
This was Helpful, digging into your Archives 👍
Haha I think I would cringe if I went back and watched our older videos 😂
@@MashITTech LOL, It was VERY PROFESSIONAL as usual. You make comparisons everyone wants to see 👍👍👍
First..... And I'm already excited for this 😁😁😁
haha brilliant. Hope you enjoy it
Great review! Keep on! (from Hong Kong
Thank you, and nice to hear from you in Hong Kong ( a place I would LOVE to visit!)
thank you so much for the review!! really great one
My pleasure!
Very good comparison. Great idea to compare these two as that's what people actually think about when buying.
Yeah, they are both great machines but which would you choose?
@@MashITTech I'm gong to get the standard 9310, waiting on a black friday sale.
That was my choice, Gary preferred the 2in1! Dell usually have at least 15% off on Black Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed for you
@@MashITTech Thanks
half the review is about the glossy or not display. An example with a window or a light would have helped a lot.
Thanks for that, I will try and add glare next time I do a comparison
there is also a 9310 with touch screen . not 2 in 1 . can we use pen on that ?
Dell has lost their way. I have this laptop of the same vintage the described here, supposedly a flagship unit. I would stay away from it. I had major trouble with it as did many other buyers of the 9310 (dangerous overheating...check the web, loosing files, etc.). Terrible experience with Dell (couldn't get the parts to repair despite having Pro Plus warranty). After escalating to 2 management levels above the Tech Support person, finally, they sent me a refurb replacement. No more Dell for me.
Hi! I just bought the dell xps 13 3910 and right away i noticed how my keyboard was getting really hot and i just finished the windows setup and the bottom of the laptop was really hot aswel, even when the laptop was idling on desktop it was hot. Am someone who likes to use my laptop on my lap rather than on a table. I seen people who uder volt it using throttlestop and use thermal pads. So my question is, is it really worth it going through all that trouble just to try and keeping the laptop cool or should i just get a refund and look else where. One of the big reasons am even considering trying to fix this heat problem is because i love how this laptop looks and its lightweight
Muy buen análisis y gracias por este aporte, tengo una duda, escuche en algún otro video en RUclips que le salió mal en dos ocasiones el DELL XPS 9310 standard (Falla en la pantalla “Rayas en el display” Equipo de origen DELL CANADA. Ustede la sabe algo de esto? O pudo haber sido algún caso aislado. Pregunto porque pretendo comprar una lap top XPS 9310 2 en 1. Gracias.
great review! thank you
Thank you for your review, but please can you tell me if you were using two laptops with FHD or was the 2-in-1 using the 4K display? It's the biggest issue that is causing hesitancy for me in purchasing one, I just don't know which way to go.
Both these laptops were 1200p. IMHO this is the best option for most people. At 13” 1200p still looks really crisp and you have better battery and no scaling issues
@@MashITTech thank you very much for replying. Battery life is not an issue for me, I will be plugged into constantly. The issue is that I want to use it primarily for working on Adobe AE and Premier Pro, and I heard somewhere that the 4K version allows for better workflow as the screen looks different. But I'm a little confused by this... does it mean that all icons and fonts and programs will be tiny and not work right? I'm on the cusp of getting one of these things but this one niggling query is halting progress.... I don't want to regret getting the 1200p, nor do I want to regret getting the 4K! Can you give me any idea of the pros and cons of the 4K, as I'm simply not finding the information elsewhere. Thanks so much for any info.
Sorry for the delay. OK, with the 4k there is 4x as many dots per inch on the screen, this means that the image is incredibly sharp and you can adjust the windows scaling to suit your needs. If you have good eye sight, you can run at a low scaling factor and see a lot more on the 13" screen. The 1200p has a lot lower DPI so you will probably run at either 100% or 125% scaling and therefore have less displayed on your screen. I hope this helps but let me know if not and I will try and explain further
@@MashITTech Firstly, thanks a lot for taking the time, really appreciate it as not finding these answers elsewhere! So, I understand what you're saying, and that makes sense. What happens though when you watch regular HD content on the 4K screen, does it appear blurry? And what happens if you don't have great eyesight and have to scale higher, do icons and software appear blurry? I'm stuck right now because I want the 32gig RAM but this only comes on the 4K display (I think I'd rather the regular FHD). What I hear is that most software applications are not geared towards 4K, which sounds like I might run into trouble. Also, I'm assuming that 4K runs hotter alongside reduced battery life?
It won’t make a massive difference to the temps but will the battery. With regards to the image, it will be incredibly clear due to the pixel density. None of the icons will be blurry and video won’t be blurry. You may have the odd app that still hasn’t sorted scaling for high dpi displays but that is getting less and less these days
Great technical review mate.
Thank you mate 👍
@Mash IT, thanks so much for such a detailed review, enjoyed every minute of it, you are doing great, and hope you'll get more famous!;)
I really want to buy this as a replacement for a laptop and an iPad. Do you think this is enough comfortable to replace an iPad? I heard some problems occur on the 2-in 1's. how heavy is it compared to a Microsoft surface, or an iPad? Do you think this can last me for 10 years? Because if I paid this money I would like it to last me for a long while. I recently bought a latitude 7410 2-in 1 and returned it, because I was very disappointed with the battery life, the headphone jack didn't work, it was too heavy, it took very long to start, and some more issues. I really wanna make the right decision, I'm ready to pay a lot of money but I want it should be for the right thing. I am using it as a laptop to work all day, most of the day it's plugged in to monitors, but sometimes I want to use it in the car or as a portable device. What's your opinion? Is this the right device for me?
And what do you think of the issues I mentioned?
Hope it's not too much for you.
Thanks so much, and looking forward hearing from you!
Hi Joe, this is a big question to answer but I will do my best. Short answer I wouldn’t call it an iPad replacement, but definitely a surface pro replacement (I am actually planning on doing a video comparing it to the surface pro 7). It is quite bulky and heavy to use predominantly as a tablet, I would say it’s perfect as a laptop, good as a drawing device and ok as a tablet. I have no build quality issues with the 2 xps devices I received but I am not sure how well it would hold up for 10 years. At least it looks pretty easy to change the battery should that go, everything else is soldered on. Hope this helps but ask away if I missed anything
@@MashITTech Would you be comfortable saying that this is the best most powerful Windows tablet/Laptop?
After having it for over a week, what do you say on the battery life? And how quick is it to start the computer?
Thanks for all the info
Excellent comparison!
Thank you mate
Excellent, thank you.
Glad you like it 👍
Great review. Full detail review on every aspect. Great job! Can you expand a bit on the trackpad here on the comments?
I just saw your other review on the XPS 13 2-in1 and you explain the trackpad there. so anyone wondering, go watch that video
Ha spooky, I was just on your channel watching your Razer Blade review! nice work by the way 👍
@@MashITTech Awesome! thanks for the support! I went ahead and bought the XPS 2-in-1 for work/productivity. I think this is exactly what I need. I subbed. Take care bud!
Thanks mate, appreciated. Hope you enjoy the 2in1 its a great little machine for working on the go.
superb review thx, and subscribed! can you tell us about the RAM? are they upgradeable or is that all the slots we have?
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. No, unfortunately ram is soldered on both models. Only the ssd is upgradable on the 9310 model
Glad to see a comparison, but i'd recommend getting a little more in depth and hands on with it. Battery life statements were vague, I'd like to know the actual numbers you get under whatever circumstance you feel worth testing. You talked about the keyboards but didn't actually type anything so we could see/hear the actuation.
Some close ups on the screen would also help infinitely more than any description of what you think they look like.
You also didn't really talk about or show any performance numbers, which given different power limits and thermal solutions, can vary wildly.
Glad you made the video, and I hope you don't take this as an attack. It's good content, it just needs more depth.
Cheers.
Hi Mike, No, I don't take it personally, I actually welcome any feedback. We have only been dong this a couple of months so still learning! I went into much more detail on each laptops performance in their respective reviews, I was worried if I duplicated that in this comparison people would get bored.
Good points on the screen and keyboards, I will try and improve the footage of that in forthcoming reviews 👍
@@MashITTech I did end up watching the other videos, and it answered my other questions.
honestly though, I'd suggest including the content in comparisons and just time stamping the videos so people can skip past them. Otherwise you risk having people like me come by from a search, not knowing you have other content, and just skipping out because you don't cover the detail they want.
The other option would be explicitly calling out that you have those other videos and linking them at relevent points in the vid.
Anyway, great content. I've just ordered my XPS 13, so thanks for the help!
That is a great idea thanks Mike! I will go and take a look how to add the links into videos 👍
Great review and very helpful!
Did you get the chance to use the 2-in-1 outside? Maybe at sunshine? How is the glossy display under this conditions? I consider to buy a 2-in-1 because of the functionality but I'm a bit concerned about the glossy display as I'm using a matt display for over 5 years now.
I didn’t I am afraid. Weather was awful the whole time I had the xps’ 😭
Great comparison. To me, the choice would be the 2 in 1 version since the slight advantages the standard version has are more than outweighed by the better thermal design on the 2 in 1 version. Better thermals means better performance and longevity and those aspects are more important than the matte screen, slightly larger battery and cheaper price on the standard version, imo.
I think it is nice that Dell makes both giving us the option!
It would've been better if Dell limited differences between those two options to the form factor, like Lenovo are doing with their standard and Yoga lines, for example. But giving one option a better engineered thermal design makes people like me who don't need a 2 in 1 laptop and who consider thermals a major factor when buying a laptop feel short changed when buying the standard version. In other words, if I'm considering those two, I'll have to pay more to get a 2 in 1 form factor I don't need just to get the better thermals, which I feel is a choice I shouldn't have to make!
I think that 1 watt difference has to do with the fact that the dell xps 13 has 2.5 watt speakers (each one) and the 2-in-1 uses 2 watt speakers.
Which laptop should I go for the xps 9310 or xps 9310 2-in-1?
My primary use is normal day to day tasks like browsing,word,excel,zoom and netflix.I want the xps 9310 for its enhanced battery but I also like the form factor of 2-in-1.Any help would be appreciated.
This is an impossible one to answer :) I personally would say the 9310 but then my colleague who does the design love the 2in1! I guess you have to ask yourself will you really use the 2in1's form factor to justify the extra cost?
@@MashITTech Thanks for the help:)
Because of the limitation of the video's resolution, during internals, I can see the battery type of standard version is 722KK, but what's the battery type of the 2-in-1 version? Is that XTW9O or something, just too unclear.
Would you rather recommend the Dell XPS 13 9310 (i7 and 16gb ram, 512gb SSD. FHD non-touch) or the Apple Macbook Air (with M1 processor and 8gb ram, 512gb SSD). I am planning on using AutoCAD (for Civil Engineering degree in college).
Great review, David! Wish you to reach a million subscribers very soon! I’m thinking of getting this device, but with Intel Alder lake for better battery life. Do you believe Dell will update this laptop’s chip by the end of this year?
Thank you Alex. I am pretty sure they will but I expect it to be much later this year (Q4 I would imagine)
@@MashITTech Thanks for your reply, David! This gives me hope in better future for Windows laptops) And here comes my prophecy: someday your channel will become very popular.

I'm curently looking for a new windows laptop to replace my macbook. I bought a lenovo laptop a few months ago, but decided to return it cause the trackpad was unprecise and WAY! worse than the macbook i had. Is the trackpad good and reponsive on this XPS 13? If not, is there any windows laptop with a good trackpad I can buy regardless of price?
I would say it is one of the best windows trackpads. The only other windows trackpads that are as good are the Razer and surface (laptop and book). That said, they are still not in the same league as a MacBook force touch trackpad. I still use Macs and windows PC's and switch between both systems on a daily basis and I haven't wanted to throw the XPS out the window yet when using the trackpad which really says something :)
@@MashITTech That's a good start i guess. I think the best thing to do is probably to wait for them to get displayed in the stores and try it out myself. Currently they're only available on the dell website and the cheapest model is 2200$ as well so i wanna make shure it's without issues.
@@nicholasskjold989 I'm pretty sure the trackpad on the XPS 9310 is the same as on the 9300, which won't be hard find in the stores. I love the trackpad and keyboard on my 9300, but I've never owned a MacBook, so I don't know how they compare.
Really good Thank you
Another excellent review, thanks so much for that! Just a few questions - are the speakers the same in both? Also I noticevthe 2 in 1 has no rubber shoes on the keyboard area for when the keyboard is tucked under. Does thst make the laptop slide or the keyboard get scuffed? Also what is the inking like? Thanks!
Thank you mate, sorry I didn't see your question yesterday! The speakers are the same on both models and they both sound great. I am not an expert on inking so I will ask my colleague who does the art for the channel and get his opinion. I was quite careful when placing it on the desk but the carbon fibre finish means it doesn't slip around and scratch but I would still be careful when doing it.
@@MashITTech ah thanks. I'd heard the speakers were a bit on the quiet side, so good to know you think they're ok. Thanks for the reply!
hey can anyone tell me how much better is the 2 in 1s thermal performance compared to the standard xps? a vapour chamber in theory should make a huge difference imo
hi sir may i ask pls does the ACROBAT DC application for windows run compatible with the 2n1 variant. ty
Thank you for the video really helpful. I still don't know if I will be using the tablet mode. I really like to work and travel, so I am always using it outdors and in beach terraces. I think the glossy screen will be a pain in the neck literally haha.
Haha yes, this is why I prefer the matte screen 9310. My colleague Gary actually uses it with the pen so prefers the 2in1
Only a quick question, the standard clamshell you have on the left with the matte screen, is it touch? Because I can't seam to see any reference to the touch screens on the video, sorry if I managed to miss it.
Hi, no sorry the matte 9310 is non touch, only the 4K+ glossy is touch enabled. Bother versions on the 2in1 are touch enabled
@@MashITTech Thank you
Hi, great review, thanks alot!
I use to work outdoors but also want to have a touchscreen, is there any laptop with matte+touch screen? (Or other solution that will b good for working outdoors apart than matte)
(I dont need the uhd and actually prefer fhd for better battery life)
And also, is there any 2 in 1 laptop good for outdoor use?
Thanks alot :)
Unfortunately most touchscreens are glossy as they put a protective layer on the screen so you don’t damage it with the touch. All of these will be difficult outdoors especially if it is bright where you are (not so much of an issue in U.K. it’s usually raining 😂 )
How many battery hours of dell XPS 2 in 1 9310 11 generations?
Love your videos but Damn IT man you were supposed to tell me which one to buy. I'm just as lost as I was before I watched this video. I like the standard 9310 because of the 1185G7 and matte display but it needs to be a 2-in-1 without the stupid hinge and larger chin. When that solution is engineered, it's going to be huge. I could forgive the glossy display by putting a matte screen protector on it but even then, the magnetic stylus isn't compatible with the non-2-in-1 variant.
Hi, do you know if your order the 2 in 1. Do you get the dell premium active pen or do you have to buy it separately?
In the UK you do not get the pen. In other regions the pen is included! I guess it is best to check with your local dell sales person
Mine came with the pen in Australia.
I think It is depend on which region because mine come with free active pen.
I got without pen in USA
NZ comes with a pen as well
May be a stupid question, is ot possible to replace the hinges on standard laptop to 2 in 1 hinges??
No sorry, it’s more than just the hinge that differentiates them
any comparation between 9300 and 9310 ? Cheers
Vapor chamber won me over!
Why would you not comment on the weight
You are the man Mash IT!!! Mash that like button !!!
Thank you mate, I appreciate the support 😃
Great Video comparison. I have ordered the 9310 but can we upgrade the ssd on 9310 to PCIE gen 4 ssd from Sabrient, Samsung or WD ?
Let me check, I don’t think the m.2 is pcie4
@@MashITTech Thank you so much for replying back. Any confirmation on the port. Is it Gen 3 or 4 ?
WHICH USB-C PORT ADAPTER IS COMPATIBLE WITH MY DELL XPS 9310?
I have the 2 in 1 and feel like the edge digs into my wrists while typing. Does the regular XPS feel the same way? I'm coming from a Surface Pro 4, and love the screen of the XPS 2 in 1, but miss the comfort of the Surface Pro. I was hoping to like using the XPS on my lap better than the Surface Pro as it is a true keyboard.
Slightly less so but will still dig in a bit of you rest your wrists on the palm rest. The SP is much more comfortable and I think the kick stand is more useful for drawing but I just wish MS would actually update it more regularly (though the SP7+ is a step in the right direction with upgradable SSD)
@@MashITTech Totally agree on the SP needing an update! Thanks for the feedback. I love the Dell 2 in 1, but definitely somewhat disappointed on the typing comfort.
There are reviews saying the 2-in-1 has better performance due to the vapour chamber cooling. Is that true?
Yes this is true and I go into more detail into the thermal performance in their individual reviews if you are interested. But to sum it up, the 2in1 runs cooler and quieter whilst maintaining a few extra watts under load.
Hi thanks for the review. How is the matte screen compared to the glossy one? (regardless of touch sensitivity)
The matte coating is great and still provides an amazing image quality. I actually prefer it to the glossy as you do not get reflections but obviously you loose touch and pen support
@@MashITTech but isn't the gorilla glass more durable than plastic? I feel like it's something to take into account.
It sure is but in all my years of using/supporting laptops I have never had a damaged a screen despite small knocks and drops on the laptops themselves. not by me, I am very careful but as an IT manager with over 200 users I saw a lot of laptops getting dropped, even had one fall off the roof of a car :)
@@MashITTech I don't understand the reflections issue. Don't we all use smartphones and tablets which are all glossy all the time? I've never had a problem with my smartphone, why would it be with a glossy laptop?
does the 9310 have a model number ? when i try to google it many of the products i find says onboard RAM ( like it cannot be upgraded ) ?
XPS 9310 is the model number, or the 2in1 is xps 9310 2in1. And yes unfortunately both have onboard ram. Part way through this video I opened both machines up and the XPS 9310 has a removable m.2 ssd and everything else is soldered. The 2in1 is completely soldered
@@MashITTech ah yes thanks alot i thought the SSD was RAM actually - but then i have to get the 32GB version - but just tried it ( didnt buy yet ) - thats an amazing machine !
It certainly is! a lot of power in such a tiny package.
Don't you think that because of windows 11 and all the gesture features it will be better to have the 2 in 1 version?
I certainly hope so, it is about time ms invested some time into touch gestures
Bravo 👍
Are you planning to review new M1 macbook pro with xps 2 in 1 ? Thinking to buy either between those two
M1 is arriving this week 👍
@@MashITTech waiting for your next content ☺️
We have a delivery date of Tuesday - Wednesday and I have booked out a couple of days so we can work solidly on their arrival 😀
One quick question. How’s the battery life if you using 4K display screen playing Netflix all day? Like how long can it keep playing without charging?
I know the 4K will be a fair bit shorter but I haven’t had one in to test yet. Based on previous 4K screens I would imagine you would get approximately 6-7 hours depending on brightness and power settings
@@MashITTech well I guess I’ll phrase FHD one with 2 in 1 version. Btw thank you so much for making this video and answering my question.
this or hp envy 13 360 ryzen 4700
tips?
I am sorry, I haven't tried the ryzen envy but if it is like previous models then I would take the XPS for the superior build, speakers, form factor and screen.
Do you know if dell xps 13 can work overseas in term of ~220 to 240 voltage? Or it specified for 120 V and 60 Hz?
It sure can, the PSU will auto switch
Thanks!
Well can you tell me like i have the surface laptop 2 They promise like a 12+ hour battery on this thing i only get like around A solid 3_4 hours so whats the battery life in HOURS on this device and i'm talking about PLAIN SURFING watching videos on youtube and stuff
Hello, does this have PCIe4 for the M.2 NVMe?
I am pretty sure it does t but I will try and find out for you
@@MashITTech Thanks!! I haven't seen this answered anywhere.

please make video and show where is it.

here they mentioned about m.2 slot
xps 9310 2in1 1tb 32gb for 2000$ is almost ideal
but I badly wanted LE Audio support
to have finally almost no latency wireless audio experience
So the screen is sharper on the matte display?
No, both as sharp as each other but no glare on matte version
Which one is better for travel and editing youtube videos
The 2in1 is slightly better as it has the vapour chamber so performs slightly better
Hello, thanks for the video. Could you detail about the difference in batteries (hours and minutes each one for a standar use like videos and office work)
Do you mean watching videos or editing videos?
@@MashITTech I just use to watch movies, Ms office, a lot of Excel, web browsers and no more
There is not a lot in it but the standard 9310 got slightly longer battery life on light use (which is what you describe) you should expect 8-10 hours of light use. don't get the 4k model if you are concerned about battery, that uses a lot more power
@@MashITTech well I am interested in FHD version, so both vrrsion give around 8-10 hours for light use
as I understood no any pen included with 2in1 ?
Not in the U.K., I have heard they include it in Australia, but not sure if that was just a promotion
Nice
2 in 1 XPS, This is a design defect product, I bought last year, all the rubber strips are peeled due to the heat of CPU. And it’s not under warranty. You will need to pay a whole shell cost to fix and no guarantee for whether it will happen again or not
Oh that sounds terrible, I haven't heard of this fault before.
@@MashITTech you can search dell community. There’re already some cases happened and complained and failed to get the positive response from official. It’s a defects that needs time to find out ....
Thanks for the heads up. I will go and take a look
Have you noticed any backlight bleed?
No, I was pretty lucky with my models, they were both great (and these are retail models not cherry picked from Dell)
the dell costs so much yet it offers plastic bezels and so called carbon fibre which feels cheaper than a full cnc machined aluminium chasis
Well should i buy 9300 or 9310 ??
Totally depends on price and what you plan to use it for. If there is a big discount on the 9300 it may be worth just getting that one
Good 👍
why is the surface surrounding the keyboard like that?
Is it the carbon fibre finish you don’t like? They do also make a white version, have you seen that one?
@@MashITTech to me it looks like it has a pattern on it? from the product photos and the video from a certain angle. or is it "normal"? thanks for your reply, I am confused atm
Yes it does, And it has a soft touch finish. It looks pretty good in person and feels really nice to use but it does pick up palm oils unfortunately. I will see if I can get a good close up with the dslr for you later today
@@MashITTech that would be great thanks! good to hear that it looks nice, but I still can't fully imagine ist. maybe a store in my area has it, to also be able to touch it

you have to point the camera directly at the 2 laptops and not have 1 of them at an angle. I guess you earn 14 thumb downs (not me) for that
Haha fair enough! This was one of our early reviews and I like to think we have improved since releasing this one though we still get plenty of thumbs down 😂
Can they run warzone?
I don’t think it will. I am happy to test it
Can you play in valorant with decent performance?
I have never played valorant but I will take a look for you
Valorant can even run on a Core 2 Duo.
Games when?
I have already done a games review on the XPS9310 and the internals are pretty much identical. I may do a follow up video with newer drivers and a few extra games people have requested, is there anything in particular you would like to see?
You talked about the display for nearly 2 minutes without showing a single picture or video! 🤦♂Just mostly a blue screen. Dude...
Haha this was one of our early videos, I would like to think our newer videos are of a higher quality 😂 sorry!
It's not a quality question. And not a knock on your quality. I googled comparison videos because Im choosing between the 2, and screen (for me) is a big part of that. Im glossy and hi-def till i die. Thanks for responding.
I do love glossy but the glare can be a killer if you work in bright environments. Working on a surface pro at the moment and the glare is so bad it feels like I am using a mirror in a bright room 😂
