Andrew, your reviews are starting to make some of the other reviews look almost shallow! More numbers, more scientific format (thanks for using centigrades in your measurements), all around more indepth evaluation of the laptops. I do like the front facing camera in the 9310, not bad at all. Seriously thinking about buying this one....hmmm....thank you, Andrew, great video!
The only way I upgrade from my XPS 13 9300 is if Dell drops a Ryzen processor in it. Otherwise, this thing has been rock solid so far. Love the reviews, Andrew!
Hey, Andrew. I like the upgrade in the graphics performance from the Xe Graphics we see here. That build design is really sleek in the XPS line, and Dell does offer some of the top displays on their premium lineup. Dell does work to tune their units for maximum performance, but I worry a bit about their software implementations and longevity, as I've seen a few people complaining of blue screens after about 6 months of use because of update incompatibilities. The camera is a potato like most other laptops. Long-term, though, I'm curious as to how the Superfin architecture will hold up when ranked against Zen 2 and the upcoming Zen 3. Thanks for another truly well done review.
I have never heard of that. Plus, it doesn't make sense because so far TB3/4 is owned by Intel, that's why so far no laptops with AMD CPUs feature TB3/4 ports. Don't forget XPS has basically ditch out all the ports except USB Type C and TB3/4.
Hi Andrew, You do a great job with your reviews. Any chance you can get a Dell 9310 2 in 1 with the UHD+ screen reviewed? It has some unique design differences from the clam shell 9310. Different cooling solution, keyboard, and chassis.
Nice PC. I mentioned in your live stream that the letters on the keyboard were a little hard to see and it was probably the lighting you had in your studio shining on it. I was right as in your review here I could see the keys quite clearly. As always another great review. Again congratulations on your RUclips 100 K plack. All they have to do is put a couple of ports on the side of it and have it open up and put a keyboard and display on it and you would have the first "RUclips PC". Anyway just kidding.
Problem is Dell is being paid a shit ton of money to keep using Intel so unless the demand for AMD chips isn't sky-rocketing by Dell consumers, we're gonna have to keep waiting.
@@baranie1809 It's more likely that they have an ironclad ten-year contrast that excludes any other manufacturer. That is keeping them using the intel chips. So I wouldn't expect a Ryzen based laptop for several years yet. Intel doesn't have to pay them. they just threaten to cut their supply of all intel chips (servers and PC's and laptop off)
@@baranie1809 Don't spread rumors. If there is demand for AMD, surely Dell will build more of them. Don't spread rumors that Intel is paying Dell, you don't have proof for this accusation
I see what you did there. This video is 1337 ;). The XPS has been my dream laptop for years. I've finally ordered my first one a few days ago. I'm so glad that your review is more forgiving about performance and throttling. I think BIOS / driver updates do help. Can't wait to see how it performs with the new Xe graphics.
I have the older XPS 13 9370 and it has held up well except the white ceramic color has started to slightly yellow after three years. Also, the support assist tool stopped providing updates in the app after two years and now refers you to the Dell support website. I can use the Dell update utility as a solo app to do updates since I hate having to track updates manually. I have twenty laptops in the house and manually tracking updates is silly. Some reviews indicate that recent video driver updates make a significant difference in Xe graphics performance in gaming. Its gone from stutter in a fortnight to smooth enough to play.
I purchased a Dell XPS 13 9310 Laptop on May 16th. I received it yesterday morning. RUclips Videos don't do it justice. It has far surpassed my expectations! I got it on sale. P.K.
How far back can the display hinge turn? I use my laptop in my car and I need to open it to 180 degrees to prop on my lap and lean against the steering wheel. I can always get the 2-in-1 but I would prefer this if it can open at that angle.
hi, could you confirm if the charger works on both usb type-c ports? how to deal with connecting monitor, mouse, keyboard, external drive, etc. in a long day? Could you replace the 512GB or you can only add more space?
Would this be powerfull enough for running 3D design software, like fusion 360. My current laptop cannot deal with it and I love these sleek/light mini’s.
Andrew: Great review as always, and hope you'll do a comparison with the HP Spectre x360 14. I just picked mine up at Best Buy for $1549, and that includes the 3000x2000 OLED, 16gb RAM , 1TB SSD, mSDXC slot, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a single USB A port . All for 0.2# more weight, probably due to the 2-in-1 design. I have to say I LOVE the 3:2 screen ratio. (11/13/20)
I really like both the review and the subject of it as well, but how did you get to that 97% Editor's Choice rating? You have 11 categories. 7*10+3*9+7=104. 104/110=0.94545455 and that's a bit less than 97%... (I'm not a math Nazi though :D )

Hey Andrew, I am new to your channel but I was wondering if you can review the ThinkBook 15 Gen 2. It has similar specs for a lower price market when compared with the Dell XPS 13 9310 (if not the same specs: Part number 20VE004HUS. Price: 933$)
@mark chang i own dell xps 13 9360 2017 model and it has fhd display. I always wanted higher resolution bcz the display doesn't look that great with fhd. Idk if its worth having 4k for less battery
@@aakashkaushal1167 How close do you stay to the screen? You shouldn't be able to tell the difference on a 13.4 inch panel. Watch a LinusTechTips video on it if 4k is worth it.
@@pnp072000 trust me Bro. There's a huge difference between 4k and fhd even on 13.3 display. I compared one of my frnds xps 4k variant with mine. There's definitely a lot of difference, everything looks Sharp and smooth on 4k. Fhd kina looks pixelated
photo editing has very little to do with your graphics card. A 2013 macbook pro 13 can handle lightroom just well, so does the newest 2020 16 inch. GPU mainly affects 3d rendering. Ironically CPU and Ram affects lightroom performance way more than GPU.
@@JimmyCheng Thanks for the info. With pretty everything else being equal, what would you go for. 10th gen Intel Core i7-1065G7, 11th gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 or AMD Ryzen 4700u? All would have 16GB RAM.
@@jeffmeyer3600 The AMD is definitely the better bang for the buck cpu among bunch (assume it's quite a bit cheaper). Performance should be a toss between the 11th gen and 10th gen, I don't believe there is gonna be much of a difference given they are using the same architecture. Any would be good enough for photo editing so just pick the one with the best price.
@@tony24-u9x Still not an Apple person. Also, as much as I like the Dell XPS line, I'm not considering it. It's just too much money. I'm looking at the HP Envy x360 15.
Thank you for your videos. Don't forget to take care of your health and to make time to wind down or be with family. Your community really appreciates you.
I hate that dell has stopped offering this configuration in my region. I have to choose between the terrible battery sucking 4k display or the cheap looking non-touch, unlaminated display with the plastic bezels. I ended up returning my 9300 model because the 4k screen was terrible, and I don't think I can bring myself to purchase the non-touch model, so I guess this year i'm looking for a new system. It's a shame there are so few great windows ultrabooks.
I just bought one about 2 months ago. big disappointment. Gets really hot with just web browsing, battery life can last for less than 6 hrs max. and whats worst, memory/RAM failure after less than 2 months.
I like this really much, but I doesn't get it, why Dell doesn't include at least one USB-A port... I would need a adapter for each f...ing USB stick.. Every other manufacturer has at least one USB-A port.
J.u.n.k. I just return one yesterday - $1897 XPS 13" 2-1 9310. Right out of the box, RGB color flashes across the display. Goes to sleep and gives you a black screen, whilst in use. Doesn't wake up from sleep, and after updating all drivers and software strange and sporadic character strings across the display. I will NOT be buying another Dell, their QC is substandard. Buyer beware, most of these reviews will blow smoke up your arse.
Another very complete review, Andrew. A question, why do manufacturers still introduce new units with Intel Core I3? This is late 2020, that really is not acceptable, how many are they really selling at that level? The ports seem very poor, need far more flexibility. Dell and other manufacturers need to give the choice between Intel and AMD Ryzen. For people in their 50 plus, gaming is not important, at all. Give me great sound, and great graphics, and a great keyboard. Thanks for your hard work. Look forward to the new studio. Stay safe.
“16:10 aspect ratio, which of course is very welcome.” Frankly, reviewers on CNET and RUclips and elsewhere are saying almost exactly the same thing about the stupidly, corruptly, derangedly.... BELATED shift toward 16:10 and 3:2 after years of almost all laptops (surface and Apple excluded) being 16:9, what I call for obvious reasons: CPR, Couch Potato Ratio. Frankly the fact that all reviewers match exactly in having done nothing or next to nothing to help nudge manufacturers toward this absolutely necessary and absolutely belated change, and in celebrating the change that’s occurring, what can I/we conclude? Either a) humans evolved since last year (and 16:10, 3:2 wouldn’t have been an improvement last year because we humans were only evolved up to benefiting from 16:9, or b) most reviewers share either the same IQ or integrity issues or some combination thereof, for not making aspect ratio more of an issue in previous years? Which could it be? I’ll say this; because I don’t believe humans evolved since last year, I believe all those non-reviewers, regular users like myself who’ve been frustrated and complaining about 16:9 for years, their voices ignored or suppressed by reviewers all this time, were right all along, and (b) must be correct, somehow (inexplicably to myself). So if this has been some kind of IQ and/or integrity issue somehow affecting most or all of the laptop reviews, they can partially REDEEM themselves by explaining what happened. Again: why 3:2 and 16:10 have been so long in coming, and why reviewers, by never saying in their reviews (“nice laptop, but what’s with the 16:9 CPR aspect ratio they refuse to branch out from or improve upon?), encouraged this -by reviewers’ own admission- inferior aspect ratio. By the way, the words “of course welcome” in this review video amount to an admission that 16:10’s superiority to 16:9 is **OBVIOUS**. That means not drawing attention to this in previous years (every year since about 2012) must be either OBVIOUSLY stupid, or OBVIOUSLY corrupt or dishonest. Which is the explanation?????
@@johnestafanos3007 HP ENVY x360 (or Convertible) Laptop - 13z-ay000 touch if you don't need Thunderbolt (for which many of us don't) - OR - look to the HP Spectre x360 if you happen to need Thunderbolt... for YES, the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U is still better overall, especially when you factor in both Cost & HEAT, which destroys these very thin laptops before their time when run hard (Gaming and/or Graphics Editing).
@@andrewmarcdavid sir, I did but it seems there is a lot new functionality wrt TB4 especially expansion of ports for thin and light, that was not covered.

“16:10 aspect ratio, which of course is very welcome.” Frankly, reviewers on CNET and RUclips and elsewhere are saying almost exactly the same thing about the stupidly, corruptly, derangedly.... BELATED shift toward 16:10 and 3:2 after years of almost all laptops (surface and Apple excluded) being 16:9, what I call for obvious reasons: CPR, Couch Potato Ratio.
Frankly the fact that all reviewers match exactly in having done nothing or next to nothing to help nudge manufacturers toward this absolutely necessary and absolutely belated change, and in celebrating the change that’s occurring, what can I/we conclude? Either a) humans evolved since last year (and 16:10, 3:2 wouldn’t have been an improvement last year because we humans were only evolved up to benefiting from 16:9, or b) most reviewers share either the same IQ or integrity issues or some combination thereof, for not making aspect ratio more of an issue in previous years?
Which could it be? I’ll say this; because I don’t believe humans evolved since last year, I believe all those non-reviewers, regular users like myself who’ve been frustrated and complaining about 16:9 for years, their voices ignored or suppressed by reviewers all this time, were right all along, and (b) must be correct, somehow (inexplicably to myself). So if this has been some kind of IQ and/or integrity issue somehow affecting most or all of the laptop reviews, they can partially REDEEM themselves by explaining what happened. Again: why 3:2 and 16:10 have been so long in coming, and why reviewers, by never saying in their reviews (“nice laptop, but what’s with the 16:9 CPR aspect ratio they refuse to branch out from or improve upon?), encouraged this -by reviewers’ own admission- inferior aspect ratio.
By the way, the words “of course welcome” in this review video amount to an admission that 16:10’s superiority to 16:9 is **OBVIOUS**. That means not drawing attention to this in previous years (every year since about 2012) must be either OBVIOUSLY stupid, or OBVIOUSLY corrupt or dishonest. Which is the explanation?????
It's really not impressive. It's expensive, doesn't offer a pen and there's practically no ports. There are much better options out there.
What are some better options?
@@johnestafanos3007 HP ENVY x360 (or Convertible) Laptop - 13z-ay000 touch if you don't need Thunderbolt (for which many of us don't) - OR - look to the HP Spectre x360 if you happen to need Thunderbolt... for YES, the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U is still better overall, especially when you factor in both Cost & HEAT, which destroys these very thin laptops before their time when run hard (Gaming and/or Graphics Editing).
@@tony24-u9x laptops can also use pens. Not just tablets.
See for example the great Lenovo Flex 5.
what bout. thunderbolt 4
Watch the video
@@andrewmarcdavid sir, I did but it seems there is a lot new functionality wrt TB4 especially expansion of ports for thin and light, that was not covered. TB4 i think makes it standout and gives us an early glimpse of this tech in this laptop. I was hoping you would cover it in detail and how it performs with current available expansions be it storage/egpu/display/N x TB3 etc
LEET VIDEO. THANKS.
Slim 7 AMD, MUCH BETTER. Don't see why anyone would get this over that.
