Nice design but seems a bit underpowered for the price?
I have the XPS 13 plus (9320) and find it a brilliant machine and does all I need.
Love the fact that it turn on as soon as you open it up.
For two in one laptops could you guys consider doing a stylus segment to see how well you can take notes when using the tablet function. A lot of students watch your videos and taking notes is a big part of the reason why someone would buy a laptop like this. Thank you
God no. I can promise you that if this was an Apple product and they weren't sponsored to review this product they would be tearing it apart rightfully so. Who in their right mind would buy a 2 in 1 laptop where it's no good at either device it's trying to be, especially for that price. Get a good portable laptop and then get a tablet dedicated for those hands on events you need it for.
@@vigour6786This is specifically for businesses

Oh yeah. Very good idea, I'd love to see that
Definitely should be a part of testing these kind of devices
Check out teoh does tech. He a graphic designer and artist so lots of stylus focus, though he doesn’t do too many reviews
Do not and I repeat do not buy this laptop for school. Don't use your own money to buy this laptop, this is 100% meant for businesses (that usually get products for their entire company free of cost). The price does not justify its specs what's so ever. you'd be paying about 1.5-2x more than any other laptop with the same specs. The pros of this laptop do not justify its price what's so ever. I repeat do not spend your money on this laptop.
All students should buy a used X2 G4 if they want a two in one.
Dell, now please just give us an AMD variant with 780M iGPU and we can talk. It's a sin they're stuck with Intel for portable devices, especially such a beauty.
Not even being able to play CS:GO of all things is truly disappointing given how poor the battery life is. Many office workers do enjoy some light gaming on the side as well.
Lenovo has new arrivals in the ThinkPad T/P series, with AMD !
These are business only laptops with Intel vPro platform processors. AMD variants are not gonna happen until AMD provides competing company security features.
The biggest reason I went with a Thinkpad Z13 instead of an XPS 13..
@@lobau_ Lenovo still kicking it with the thinkpad LOL
It's probably worth mentioning that the XPS is Dell's prosumer line, and the Latitude is Dell's business line.
This. I don't think they really jive with the business/enterprise set mind when it comes to their content.
Well it‘s just how things get marketed. All the functional ‚compromises‘ they made for this segment are praised. Keyboard and headphone and according to Alex the typical downsides like speaker and display are also great. So I think it doesn‘t matter
16:22 "Now this being a business laptop"
yeah i saw that by looking at the price. Fucking Hilarious🤣
well no woner its better lol
Place I work at, we made the decision to move away from these back to Thinkpads. We had years of issues with these machines when it comes to thermals, and build quality. They just kept having issues for us. Look nice, have some nice features, but X1 FTW.
I've only had problems with my Dell Precision 5550, to the point where i will never get a dell again... Never had any issues with my cheap Lenovo at my previous workplace.
I love thinkpads. They were the choice for software engineers when I was younger and Lenovo has done a pretty good job of maintaining the legendary reliability of the old IBM models.
@@bjorksven 2 things I love about these X1s included stylus and reverse T arrow keys.
Dell laptops really sucks, Lenovo, HP makes much higher quality machines. Would never buy a Dell laptop. They do make good monitors, so much better it doesn’t even seem like the same company.
@@TheDefaultgameer what's the battery life like?
If only these physical designs would have AMD’s CPUs. The increased iGPU power plus battery life would pair great with a good physical chassis
These are business-grade laptops. AMD doesn't have much to offer in that market.
@@companyoflosersjust slap an AMD cpu in them
@@companyoflosersWhat does Intel offer to the business user world that AMD doesn’t have an answer for?
@@companyoflosers AMD has their "PRO" CPU's which are actually different and offer a couple more features than Intel chips since Intel doesn't even have business chips for most of their SKU's. These laptops for example DON'T have "Business" SKU's, so there is no difference vs a "normal" AMD CPU. A Pro version would run cooler and have additional encryption features and customization.
@@companyoflosersIntel marketing department thank you for your service
10:27 MU-MIMO has been in laptops for quite a while now, Intel’s 8265 Wi-Fi card from 2016 already has it in it’s specs.
Maybe those impressive speeds are due to the very peculiar antenna positioning! Don’t recall ever seeing a laptop with antenna placed so far from the display.
Asus has their antennas pretty much everywhere across their laptop lineup.
@@rendaddy_ Oh cool! To be fair I haven’t looked in Asus laptops in a while, but it’s nice to see changes from more manufacturers.
It would be very interesting to se a broader comparison between laptops networking speed, and the techniques they use.
@@marcofin777I don’t believe they have completely finished the RF chamber set up and equipment, but hopefully we see more complete Wi-Fi testing and comparisons once labs is fully functional.
Even the Switch has 2x2 MU-MIMO
Hey, this video is paid by Dell, of course they have to come up with something nice to say
Craig, really enjoy the channel. I’ve really been enjoying the videos that you have been creating lately. Keep up the good work. Watching from St. John’s Newfoundland on the far east coast of Canada.
I just got the Latitude 9330 for work, and man its a svelt machine i love pulling it out in meetings and seeing people look at and be impressed how clean it looks for a work laptop
a little pro tip for LMG production team, instead of blurring the serial number sticker in every shot, put a sticker on it
Ummm, aren't the speakers raised in order to protect the keyboard when used in a flipped-screen configuration?
Maybe but that's strange design choice
So let me get this straight. When comparing to the Base model of the Latitude 9440 with a similarly priced DPS XPS 13 Plus.
This has a worse CPU, Resolution, Uses IPS instead of Oled, storage Capacity, bad battery life AND cost more!? for what? able to turn the hinges all the way? for pen support? for a headphone jack? Like I don't understand the price, the "pros" don't justify the price. Am i missing something??
Holy shit I was going to wait to upgrade my 2021 envy 360x 15 inch to the spectre but dell seem to have noticed how much they weren't competing in this segment and decided to get involved? Very very cool! I still think I'm going to wait for the amd phoenix apus but this is very welcome! Great work, guys and gals at dell
I have the 9430 at work and it's been pretty good. Feels very premium to use. The fan is louder than I was hoping for, it hit 100c on the package wtching this video and web browsing, This is annoying about almost all laptops these days. The 1265U is easy to overwhelm but sees to be and ok balance of performance and batery life. Everything else works pretty good. I wish the battery life was a little better. I like using it in tent mode as an extra monitor.
That can't be right... I'm watching this same video on a Thinkpad L380 Yoga and the old i5-8350U is hovering around 1GHz, at 3 Watts. Temps below 50C. Your newer machine should be buttery smooth and cool. Maybe it just needs some servicing, repasting and removing dust?
@@tempeleng it's brand new, it's how most these dells run. Had a precision that did the same thing. I'm sure if I limited the power like yours it would run much cooler.
@@jasonallison1913 Well that sucks. I was looking to get a used one for my kid who's starts uni next year. A 12th-gen Intel is more future proof than the 8th-gen I have now. My next option is a 2020 Macbook Air. My wife uses that and used ones are getting cheaper now.
Btw to clarify, aside from a modest undervolt I don't limit the CPU package power. I believe it ramps up or down as needed. So for youtube, the CPU decided 3W was enough.
@@tempeleng it works great either way, I like the laptop otherwise. These temps only happen when I have it in max power mode. Under balance profile it's usually pretty cool.
my dad does use Dell Latitude 7430 with an i7 1265U that always hit 100c. So i've helped him replace the thermal paste with Cooler Master Cryofuze dropped temps below 80c most of the time. As i noticed Dell's thermal paste is already dried up within 3 months of usage. After repasting it is running wonderful. But I would replace with PTM7950 next time i repaste. Which I am using for my ASUS Zephyrus G14 2021 3060 varrient.
I have my work laptop given by company as Dell Latitude 9430 & love it. Stylus & touch is amazing with display. Has one type a, 2 TB4 ports
I work in IT and have my clients use Latitude/Precision laptops and I get nothing but good feedback about them. Y'all should review more Latitudes!
Great Video, See you like that Dragonfly, see it in the videos alot. What model is the one you have?
ayyyy they brought back the old keyboard from the haswel (4th gen intel) latitudes. Very awesome. The keyboards on those machines are my favorite ever, so it's nice to see them return. Too bad there's no trackpoint on this machine.
I wonder why so many premium laptops focused on portability are shipping with intel. I thought that the current gen intel was quite inefficient compared to current risen CPUs.
This is a buisness laptop and intel has some nice buisness focused features
Latitude is Dell's business line of laptop while XPS is the premium/prosumer line of laptop. In business what matters is support contracts. Since Intel pumps way more CPUs out of fabs than AMD, Dell can stack up a lot of motherboards with intel CPU in inventory to comply with support contracts that can extent up to 10 years in some cases.
Alex is definitely my favorite LMG employee. Love to see the solo content from him!
Not gonna lie, I'm not usually a huge fan of Dell's keyboards, but the XPS 13 Plus has a fantastic keyboard. Glad to see something even better on the new model!
I've just got this notebook for my work purpose, as its only equipped with USB-C ports, to get around with a mouse, you can however opt for a bluetooth one instead, so you will not have any dongles dangling around. All in all, a great notebook to own, especially the latitude line from dell are the only lines they have with a new design and specs. If you are planning to go for gaming, the XPS and or the alienware options by them them will be a more suitable choice. As for the power supply, nowadays most companies are equipped with a secondary monitor that are USB C power delivery and display out capabilities that can be directly plug into any one of the USB C on the 9440 and have it charged, not even needing for a power brick (unless of course if you are not in this situation)
Dell still using the old Dell aero wallpaper makes me happy, they’ve been using it for years and i still like it.
If everyone stops buying laptops with no IO Ports maybe they will add them in again. GIVE US BACK OUR IO!
They could meet us half way and give us more than two Thunderbolt 4 ports. It has to be possible for a computer to have more than two of those. TB4 can really truly connect anything to anything. (Even on a desktop motherboard if you have 2 TB4 that's a lot.)
@@HontasFarmer80the notebook here has 3 tb4 ports.
@NeardyMeathat: I absolutely prefer 3 tb4 ports + headphone over almost any other Io they could offer. Beside more tb4 ports. I have a notebook with hdmi, power, multiple usb-a - I would immediately switch to more tb4. You have so many more possibilities to add peripherals. And over time you will only need one port for everything.
Laptops with a lot of IO ports tend to be bulky and ugly. They’re competing with MacBooks for some reason.
I won't buy a laptop made after 2015... They've only been getting shittier since then. They break sooner, have devastatingly crippled IO, have FAR TOO MUCH soldered on, have the most consistent thermal issues I've ever seen, and anything made for windows 10 or 11 that just won't be compatible with an older windows OS is automatically suspicious and gets destroyed...
My job requires IO ports alot and i love my dongles now hahaha
I hope all this stuff moves into the XPS line. I'm on the verge of updating my hardware and the way things are now I'd go with a Lenovo, not a Dell again... but those new features - Haptic Touchpad yes please, better WiFi, better Speakers, better Webcam, finally a 1440p option - would be everything I've been wanting
I have the XPS 13 plus (9320) and find it a brilliant machine and does all I need.

I hate laptops turning on when opening them
@@harshlarose6670 why it so much easier you just pull up the screen and it then boots up saves you having to fumble for the on button
After all the main reason you pulled the screen up is because your going to use the laptop after all
@@harshlarose6670 Turn it off......... tf......
@@Lockdown335 Well I did for that exact reason.
@@CricketEngland moreso just battery drain issues and it may accidentally turn on if you're carrying some magnet, and also sometimes you open the laptop just to clean it.
Great video! (there's a lot of echo in that room just FYI)
I got the Latitude 7440 for work last week and it's so amazing! With an Ultrawide monitor that has a docking station integrated 🤯
Did you get the Ultra thin 7440?
the amount of 9440 with apple earpods connected to the 3.5mm jack at work is unreal
One thing I don't see being muich considered with laptops with a tactile screen : the polling rate.
I'm one of the few osu! tablet players, and the polling rate definitely is a decisive criteria I just can't find anywhere when buying such a laptop.
My previous one was an Acer Aspire R13 (the one with the Ezel hinge), and when I switched to an XPS 9310 2 in 1, I was shocked at how the touch screen was 'less' usable.
The Acer felt like a regular smartphone, while the XPS is just good for stylus use at best.
The resolution doesn't matter at all, if all you see in your display is yourself...
A glare display is a compromise on a heavy duty laptop i made once and never, ever again. It was a good deal and i thought " comeone, it can't be that bad, lots of people use these.
It was, it is and ever will be.
@shortcircuit What's up with the audio on this video? seems like alot of background noise? all other videos are playing fine except this one.
Next time open with "This laptop for over $3000..." - will save a lot time for many people.
Really curious to see how well this stacks up to the latest Zenbook 14 Flip OLED, it's the same sort of laptop but with a really lovely looking OLED, a USB 3 port, headphone jack, HMDI out, a fully compatible stylus out of the box, and a processor that's on par with the Dell's, and a price of $1300. I'm sure it's lacking in other aspects to make up for the price difference (like no 32GB option as far as I can tell), but for this sort of device it feels incredibly solid. Would love to see more reviews on it, and comparisons to other similar types of machines like this Dell Latitude.
Zenbook 14 Flip OLED Would be less than half the price of this overpriced "thing"
I'm slightly mad my 13 flip gave me a type c dongle instead of a headphone jack
Hadn't heard about the Zenbook Flip line, but it looks great! Finally something I'd be able to comfortably upgrade to if I felt the need. Just needs a built in stylus garage and all my prayers would be answered. Lenovo used to have 2 in 1s nailed for me but they've really dropped the ball, glad Asus is picking it up.
the video recorded using non studio microphones and that audio frequency range still conveyed with the latitude. i can feel the bass. by the way, i think gaming laptop should all comes in 16:10 screen ratio. because the verticality space is what gaming needed. i dont think many people even notice that. all this time people use multi monitor with view range only widen to the side, they are actually having semi tunnel vision. you know like seeing through a long rectangular hole where you dont get fair enough vertical span, while our pair of eye balls have big vertical view angle range.
The obvious shot of peeling the plastic off. At least you took the time to check for it this time
BEST part of video : 12:57 D: i like the sounds comparisions :)
Can you guys review the new Alienware X14 R2 and X16 R2?
I'm in need of a new laptop and cant find any good reviews on the updated version
Thanks for including our shoutout at the end of the video! I finally made it into an LMG video!
Here's our POV of the shot: ruclips.net/video/fKspri4wOgU/видео.htmlsi=ec76-Nz4jNk6zOht&t=211
would love to see some reviews on more affordable laptops
Will you guys be doing a short circuit about the motorola/lenovo Thinkphone? I would like to see it compared to the pixel 7 and some other phones!
Your videos are great, and I appreciate it, but I would be helpful if you could make a video on some budget laptops like under $500 since I am on a tight budget and I only need it for online classes and coding.
Good review. Mic quality was a bit.. ambient on this video. Probably wouldn’t have noticed it without headphones though
I expect nothing less from dells 9000s business class laptops. At my job we deploy dell's latitude 7000s. They are amazing, great management, quick repair part requisition, and they hold up to abuse from all departments. You really pay for what you get with business class in general
What year is it? Dell latitudes are still a thing? This has to be a sponsored video promo or something. "Tomorrows review, Tobisha satellite"
Dude I don't know if you get it in Canada or not . But I'm using a MSI modern 14 . I'm in app development and it works like charm it's light and great value for money with solid metallic build.. you should see if that's worth the buch
the room reverb threw me off a tad bit... but I'm sure you guys would have this sorted.
always glad Dell ships with the dongles... lol
the keyboard design kinda reminds me of an old toshiba or compaq (not sure) laptop keyboard design from more than a decade ago
I think I can hear some kind of echo in some parts of video, might be just me but I recommend looking into it.
I wonder how well the battery will hold up. I have a Dell XPS 13 (9301) 2 in 1. I've been greatly disappointed with the battery life. My old xps 13 lasted twice as long as my current one
Battery life is terrible, dont expect to go anywhere without the charger for an hour
can't wait for these hybrid laptop/tablet devices to die out and be a thing of the past.
1:37 "Does this have a full 360° hinge?" ... *"It does now!"*
You can option the 60W charger instead, which as you showed, is smaller.
I thought about picking this one up, but that price is too high for a U series processor. I wish more companies would make a 2 in 1 with an H series processor. This one is designed for someone who walks around with a laptop regularly. The main adavantage of the U processor is the battery life, but it doesn't do so well in that respect either. Still a cool laptop.
H series processors are $$$ though, and very power hungry. So the poor battery life will end up terrible.
atm I believe that Intel has horrendous power efficiency regardless of CPU spec; even the i7-1355u has a boost TDP of 55W
Is Alex that chipper because he get's to leave with his new favorite laptop? XD
It's weird, isn't it? Is Linus holding a gun to his head off-camera? Alex, blink twice if you are being held against your will.
That zero lattice keyboard is so nice! I'm glad Dell is keeping the design language from the XPS Plus.
I hope so, because the last keyboard on the XPS lineup had everyone raving... but broke for me within two weeks on two separate devices
I have one of the XPS 13 2 in 1s from 2019, with a dual core CPU and no active cooling. I absolutely love the form factor, but if it tries to run a windows update it's useless for an hour until it's done.
I love the 2 in 1 form factor, but I value the modularity and reparability of Frameworks laptops more. (Framework plz make a 2 in 1 chassis for the FW13!) This new Latitude is almost twice the price of my old XPS, that part is a bit unfortunate.
As a developer, I've just stopped looking at battery life altogether, the tools and all will basically always push the machine to it's limits anyway and once battery save kicks in (or it even clocks down on battery) everything gets unusable anyways, so there's no point to ever use it not plugged in for long.
Before you watch it’s 3058 dollars!
You should add one of those old sitcom "Taped In Front of a Live Audience" banners!
Business laptop with soldered RAM? OMG, this is new... I can realize a XPS having it, but a business one?
3K & not even a full IO? still pretty impressive, now if Desktop Dell would take lessons & put this much effort & know how
So happy to see you all back.
I read somewhere that supposedly if you have a charger with more than 60w of charging power you need a bunch of extra safety features or something
@ShortCircuit - hey! Do you have the DPC values for this (from LatencyMon)?
That is a very nice thin and light unit. But you can buy (2) XPS 13's for the price. Or XPS 13 and a dedicated gaming laptop.....
I used a friend's xps 13 plus and I turned off the laptop instead of pressing the backspace multiple times because WhY is the power button next to the backspace?
I got a Dell latitude E6420 in 2012 at launch.. I only retired it December 2021 for an M1 MacBook Air. It was plagued by the heat pipe/fan combo. Fan fried itself two years in and replacements only had a single copper tube so that core i7 always overheated. By the end.. it was time for a new heat pipe and taking it apart. Nope..
Went to Best Buy and got a base Air (I love it and use constantly still) and sold the E6420 to some mechanic dude for $40 haha. I had upgraded it to a Samsung 256 SSD and had a Tp-Link wifi dongle and Dell laser mouse and case with it. so he definitely got a good deal even though he was gonna have to invest some time and an additional $50 or so into it.
I still can't believe how long it lasted.. for a year it was how me and my girlfriend watched Netflix in our first place, so I held it dear lol. Got me through some good and bad times..
The screen and speakers were awful though, downright terrible in fact. I never got over that.
7.5 hours battery is a joke
Yea that turns into 3 hours in about 2 years
What track is playing at 4:15 in the background? I need more of that
Im getting close to an upgrade time with my Dell from 2017 , but unless gaming or something heavy its still good enough, I put 32gb ram in it so Im hesitant to upgrade
Please give a thorough comparison between xps13 1360p and the dragonfly g4. 🎉
I have one of these as a work laptop, lovely design. But they have an enterprise edition of windows 11 which is absolutely rubbish and makes a Chromebook a more attractive option
Hi guys, does the Dell xps 13 plus also a 360 rotation screen?
Love the channel, the insights and opinions have been very useful. I'm interested in your thoughts on the ASUS Flow X16. Have you checked it out yet?
Would you be up for reviewing the Flow X16 on your channel? I trust your opinions and think your viewers would appreciate your take.
keep up the great work!
I'll never understand why they rarely show the zenbook line by asus. You'd get a 90hz oled display, similar specs otherwise for around 500 dollars or less. It's wild to me.
I'll never understand why even ASUS doesnt seem to care about the Zenbook 14 ryzen lineup. How hard is it to just give us Zen 3+/4 APUs instead of outdated Zen 3? Currently imo the Zenbook 14 is the best 'laptop' laptop: fast enough RAM, modular WiFi & storage, huge 75Wh battery, and a great OLED panel. Even with Zen 3, it's leagues ahead of other laptops that were spec'd out by 7 year olds
@ZhongXina2142 I agree, it is a very fair criticism that they use more outdated processors in the standard zenbook 14. But it's still a lot of value for the price relative to most laptops. Thanks for sharing.
@@arsalanafroz Agreed. As a user myself, I'm quite surprised at how well they still fare against newer laptops
This video seems exactly like the one Alex did on these same models a year ago. And the year before that. And the year before that.
Have been waiting for them to move to the XPS 14 and 16. Maybe move the 17 to an 18” size?
So that the only usefull option to buy is 14 inch then
@@bigpod16’ is incredibly usable. It’d be barely larger than the current XPS 15.
@@levygaming3133 i was comparing size of my 15 inch with macbook pro 16 inch and idk i still liked slightly smaller size of my laptop but honestly 14 inch is pretty nice as well
I was looking to replace my old Precision 15 with a new device and I would have loved a 14" (which is my sweet spot), but the 14"s come with hardwired memory - which is a no buy for me - and there's no reason for this: the Precision 15" is the same height.
Keyboard: I *HATE* the "chicklet" Apple-style keyboard with huge gaps between the keys and most PC manufacturers have been going in that direction for worse than 10 years. I would love to see more laptops moving away from this.
Screen: I love that Dell is going back to 16-10 (such like good keyboards, ThinkPad pioneered, then abandoned).
5:38 I thought Alex leaked his password, but then I realized it was unlocked before he finished typing. He typed "I am thing a thing" and he doesn't have a password 😆
For people planning on buying, here are some caveats I encountered -
1. It is quite heavy though it is very rigid
2. Touchpad is simply horrible. Will register a click when you're just moving your mouse around which gets annoying. If you want to click and drag something by holding down the left click, it will unclick it midway when you move your finger. This doesn't change by changing the touch sensitivity
3. Keyboard: Hard to get used to due to lack of space between keys and keys themselves are sort of mushy. Not horrible but at around $2-2.5k, you'd expect better
Maybe just the unit I tried but again - at that price, your quality control needs to be good.
I think most people will be able to find better alternatives!
Nice review! Always appreciate the direct feedback. Why though do reviewers get so excited over slightly smaller (but still huge) bricks? I’ve had a 100w GaN charger that is the size of old school iPad bricks for 2+ yrs now. Those old cabled blocks that are bundled are trash.
"does this have a full 360 hinge??" breaks laptop in half "no.."
I really like this laptop overall. At that price they seem to be competing with other business laptops very well, yet the price also pulls them into comparison with something like the Macbook Pro 14 (M1 or M2). The Mac is more of a creative machine but can manage business software and much more quite well, so even if you up the RAM and SSD (from the base $1999 price) you are looking at a similar price and the Macbook Pro 14 just kills this thing in efficiency, battery life, cooling and power draw, and it compares well in speed and in some cases would be faster. However, most PC laptops users will see the Mac as a creative arts machine and mostly look at other Windows business laptops. In that sense this Dell is really good, but 7.5 hours of battery life is rough. Between the 3 he showed here I would go with the Dragon Fly. I also agree with others that I would rather have an AMD version. For larger businesses the cost will not be a big issue, but for smaller businesses and others the cost here will be an issue.
Yeah a Macbook Pro 14 M1 can be had here in Europe for about 1950 euro, M2 Pro for 300-400 more, the 9440 starts at 2800€😮 (all incl VAT). Arguably a better screen, speakers and battery life. Equally good performance and keyboard. Better trackpad, but no touch. Never thought I would say a Mac would be a better value (or at least, fair), not even considering residual values.
That's a cool laptop. Shame S3 sleep isn't a thing anymore and I'm stuck with macbooks
I configured my laptop to hibernate on lid close. With an SSD its almost as fast to resume as sleep.
It's strange to say, but the 14" macbook pro is cheaper and have more ports !
@@winjaywinso you introduce extra wear and tear on your SSDs
