Good review. I've got an XPS 13 9310 - it looks nice but battery life is definitely poor. Have the 4k touchscreen but must say I hardly ever use it and high DPI a real pain when using remote desktop connection, etc. Next time I think I'd just go for the full HD non-touchscreen.

Hey Justine! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing, as well as the kind words. You can absolutely ask for that comparison, because I just recorded it and it’ll be live tomorrow night! 😱. How’s that for service 😂😂😂

thank you for this review! I've been having trouble deciding for so long and this really helped. If you could help answer one question for me: if I get the New XPS 13 (9315) should I upgrade to the i7 or keep to i5? Cheers mate!
Hey buddy! Thanks for watching my video and joining the conversation. For me, I don't think the i7 is worth the loss of even more battery life given it's still a U series chip so not performance heavy. I'd save the money, battery life and heat with the i5.
It's really weird how you're the only channel who reviewed the new XPS 13 2022. I don't like the color options and I hate that they removed the headphone jack on that too. But MaxTech reviewed the M2 MBA & i7 XPS 13 Plus: the M2 beats it out in every way while being even cheaper.
Hey Kirsty, thanks for watching and the sub! I think you'll be fine for everyday college work with a 9315. But take a look at.the Saying Galaxy Book 2 also. I just dropped a review and was really surprised how much I liked it.
I've seen many complaints online regarding the XPS Plus - overheating, throttling, unstable OS problems.. did you encounter any of those? I want to buy it but the reviews are holding me back.
That’s a tough call because they’re so different. If the size isn’t an issue the 15 is a great device for sure. But you’ll need to decide if you can live with the weight etc.
That’s a tough call because they’re so different. If the size isn’t an issue the 15 is a great device for sure. But you’ll need to decide if you can live with the weight etc.
This is such a confusing video because throughout it I do not know which laptop is the ultra and the regular. You keep saying 'this' and 'this' - please say which laptop you are talking about instead of saying THIS.
The biggest difference between the 2 of them other than the keyboard design is the fact that the Plus model comes with a P series processor whereas the 9315 comes with a U series. If you need a little more power then the Plus is the way to go.
Hey Armin! Thanks for watching buddy. I don’t think overheating is the issue, it’s more just a case of intel making bold claims about how awesome 12th gen would be in closing the gap with Apple silicon on heat and battery when it doesn’t hit the mark. It’ll get warm but if you want a P series chip, I don’t know that any of them are going to be hugely different. Something like the Asus 14X I reviewed or the Surface Laptop Studio has better heat dissipation but obviously, they’re physically bigger devices.
@@mikedropstech thank you for a fast answer. But during the normal usage like office, youtube, browsing will they be extremely loud with fans or hot in the lap?
So it’s a touch bigger than my iPad Pro, and definitely smaller than my MacBook Air. It’s probably a great backpack sized laptop, I just tend to like mine a little bigger if I can get it.
@@mikedropstech Thanks for your reply. I am still using Inspiron 5379 with 8th Generation core i7, now want to upgrade and I am not a person who can frequently keep changing laptop in few months or every year.
hey buddy! Thanks for watching and happy to try and help. For me I’d go with the plus model for the simple reason that I think you’d prefer the P series processor with more horsepower vs the U series that comes in the regular 13. I’m guessing whatever software you use will be better off with more headroom!
I’m not sure which options Dell offers in other parts of the world but I know that some folks from overseas order from Dell US and use a forwarding company to ship the laptop overseas once it’s delivered. I don’t know which mailing companies offer it, but I’ve seen conversations in some of the forums I’m in talk about it.
Wow. For 32gb you're going to be limited I think to custom configs like the Dell XPS range or HPs custom builds at HP.com. Beyond that, I'm guessing you're into HP Elitebooks or Lenovo Carbons (both business class devices).
@@mikedropstech I checked but none of the HP custom builds have 32GB RAM in 13”. Lenovo has some options but with U or 11th Gen processors ☹️ I need a portable machine with beefed up specs. The XPS 13 Plus is way too expensive and Dell won’t even give a price match for the 32GB machine.
Hmmm, so I did some clicking around and you are correct! Even the HP Dragonfly is a U series chip and not a P series. Right now, you may only have Dell as a viable choice although I expect Microsoft will update the Surface Laptop range in October. They'll be pricey, but maybe we'll get a P series chip in the regular SL or the Studio?!
Dude, thanks so much for watching, subscribing and taking the time to throw a little ❤ my way. Busting my chops to build an AMAZING channel for tech for everyday users with a little humor thrown in (!). Really encouraging to get some positive feedback.
Hey John! Glad you liked it. We just dropped a sexy B-Roll montage of the 2 laptops just to show them off a little more seeing as we recorded so much of it! Hope you enjoy that too :).
Hey buddy! Thanks for watching and taking the time to chat. I've only been reviewing Windows laptops and Apple laptops so although Ubuntu and other systems exist, I'm trying to keep it relatively mainstream as to what folks might be looking for when shopping at a Best Buy for example. 😀
Hmmm, the processor is adaptive meaning it doesn’t always run at full speed. Think of it like a car engine, it only goes faster when it needs to so you should be fine!
Good review. Both laptops would certainly be a very good choice if I had to buy a device with Microsoft Windows. However, the heat development of powerful Intel laptops bothers me a lot.
Hey Michael! Thanks for watching and sharing some thoughts. I think the heat of the 12th gen has disappointed many folks for sure. I wish intel would up their game. Hopefully the new AMD Ryzen chips blow us away!
If you just need a light weight, straight forward windows based laptop I’d go for the regular XPS and not the Plus. The extra performance of the P series processor won’t change much for you but the heat and fan noise will affect battery life a little more. But wait for the new Surface Laptop 5 being announced this month by Microsoft! Could be an interesting option also 😁
I did a full review of each one so if you haven't checked those out take a look. But they're both gone from my studio so getting them side by side is gonna be tough 😱
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I'm working on some more comparisons but I'm not sure I can keep hold of these long enough for the M2 Macbook Air although I'll try!
Just get the MacBook Air 2022 if you don’t need window os. The new 13 Xps 2022 just ain’t worth in terms of performance (with that lousy chip) As for Xps 13 plus, it is just a “design over functionality laptop”. 2 ports (left 1 if you use it while charging) without audio jack, and even the M2 MacBook Air has 2 free ports plus audio jack (since it has a macsafe port for charging). In terms of screen resolution, Dell forced you to choose either FHD or pay for Oled which is quite a big jump in terms of $. Lastly, camera and audio speaker, I am leaning towards M2 MacBook Air too.
Well…. Hold your horses there for just a second! I’m playing with the new M2 Air now and will be dropping a review next week but it’s not all sugar and roses over here either 😱. Too many reviewers have gotten carried away while ignoring so pretty glaring disappointments with the device.
Hi bro!! Im user of XPS since 2019. Now I have the XPS 9315 Touch screen and DELL offered me by warranty change to XPS 9320 no touch screen do you think I most to say YES or ask for 9315?
If you can live with the new style keyboard of the plus, I'd go for it. The P series processor is worth it and I just dropped a quick benchmark graphic on my community posts so you can see the performance difference!
Using my Surface Book 3 15" plugged into an external display and on best performance, it is dead silent which is great. I am eager to hear how the XPS 13 Plus does in this scenario. I purchased the 13" Surface Laptop 4 and returned it because the fans wanted to ramp up too much. My Surface Book is just using the Iris Plus graphics with the program I am using mostly so its not that the Surface Laptop 4 13" was working any harder. Fan noise ramping up and down gets really annoying! Thanks again for another great one.
Yeah Microsoft are definitely too dog when it comes to overall build quality. The thermals on their laptops are incredible and the Studio dissipated heat like a banshee. Plugged in and docked, you’ll hear the fans slightly doing light work on this. Nothing crazy and not annoying unless you’re OCD like me and need silence. Then you start looking at task manager to shut down every task possible even though you’re just browsing the inter webs 😱.
I'll be reviewing the air when it comes out but from everything we're seeing right now about the m2, it's an incremental upgrade at best so it really boils down to whether you prefer MacOS over Windows, and whether you like the look of the hardware more than the Dell.
Hey Mike, love your channel. I have a question about these two laptops. Supposedly (according to many reviewers), 9320 has a very sharp front lid under the keyboard and that makes it very uncomfortable to use for prolonged periods of time. I'm interested does the 9315 have exactly the same case (with a sharp front lid) or does it use perhaps a little bit different case with a softer front edge? Grateful if you can provide any comment on this.
Hey! I don’t have a dell in the studio right now but from memory, they do typically have some sharp cuts on the edges. That said, I don’t remember it being uncomfortable like the old MacBook pros were ten years ago. The XPS Plus however is a softer finish.

Hi is XPS 13 Plus good? i'm thinking to moving on windows laptop because xps 13 plus has same macbook like trackpad
It sure is a nice laptop. It just takes a little while to get used to the different style of keyboard!
I've seen many complaints online regarding the XPS Plus - overheating, throttling, unstable OS problems.. did you encounter any of those?
I want to buy it but the reviews are holding me back.
I’d go i5 all the way to help with the heat and throttling but it seems to be a standard thing with XPS models unfortunately.
I’m so stuck between the xps 13 plus and the old xps 15, i don’t know if i’d rather have a sd slot and a gpu.
That’s a tough call because they’re so different. If the size isn’t an issue the 15 is a great device for sure. But you’ll need to decide if you can live with the weight etc.

Dropping a like and a sub just for the "opening a webpage" "heavy load" joke xD
Dude! Glad someone appreciates my real world speed test & humor 😂!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS !!!! I was dying to see how do these compare! Making a purchase decision a lot smarter!
P.S. - Just subscribed :)
Hey Gil! Thanks for watching and the sub! Glad you enjoyed the videos and that they helped 😁.
You are a funny guy and make a booring video more interesting 🤪
Well hey buddy! Thanks for watching and letting me know you enjoyed it 😜
Hi mike thank you for the review. What laptop would you recommend for a med student?
If you just need a light weight, straight forward windows based laptop I’d go for the regular XPS and not the Plus. The extra performance of the P series processor won’t change much for you but the heat and fan noise will affect battery life a little more. But wait for the new Surface Laptop 5 being announced this month by Microsoft! Could be an interesting option also 😁
@@mikedropstech Thank you so much!
I would love if you could put a 13 plus next to a go 2
I did a full review of each one so if you haven't checked those out take a look. But they're both gone from my studio so getting them side by side is gonna be tough 😱
Can you do a Geekbench 5 comparison between these 2? No one has done GB5 on the 9315 on youtube so far, that I've seen.
Done and editing now. Keep an eye in a couple of hours and should be up!
Is it possible to dim the touch bar on the Plus?
If it is I haven't figured it out yet! 🙄
Great video, please do more like surface book vs xps 13/xps 13 plus or macbook air 2022 vs xps 13 plus/ xps 13. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I'm working on some more comparisons but I'm not sure I can keep hold of these long enough for the M2 Macbook Air although I'll try!
Just get the MacBook Air 2022 if you don’t need window os. The new 13 Xps 2022 just ain’t worth in terms of performance (with that lousy chip)
As for Xps 13 plus, it is just a “design over functionality laptop”. 2 ports (left 1 if you use it while charging) without audio jack, and even the M2 MacBook Air has 2 free ports plus audio jack (since it has a macsafe port for charging).
In terms of screen resolution, Dell forced you to choose either FHD or pay for Oled which is quite a big jump in terms of $. Lastly, camera and audio speaker, I am leaning towards M2 MacBook Air too.
Well…. Hold your horses there for just a second! I’m playing with the new M2 Air now and will be dropping a review next week but it’s not all sugar and roses over here either 😱. Too many reviewers have gotten carried away while ignoring so pretty glaring disappointments with the device.

Hi bro!! Im user of XPS since 2019. Now I have the XPS 9315 Touch screen and DELL offered me by warranty change to XPS 9320 no touch screen do you think I most to say YES or ask for 9315?
If you can live with the new style keyboard of the plus, I'd go for it. The P series processor is worth it and I just dropped a quick benchmark graphic on my community posts so you can see the performance difference!
it would be cool for a xps15 2022 vs 2021 test too
It would be. But I don’t have the 15s in my studio anymore 😩!
it is a good laptop I just wish they'd put a decent webcam in it
Hey buddy! Thanks for watching and subscribing. I hear ya, but that’s a fair criticism of MANY laptops right now including Apple’s newest MacBook Pro!
Using my Surface Book 3 15" plugged into an external display and on best performance, it is dead silent which is great. I am eager to hear how the XPS 13 Plus does in this scenario. I purchased the 13" Surface Laptop 4 and returned it because the fans wanted to ramp up too much. My Surface Book is just using the Iris Plus graphics with the program I am using mostly so its not that the Surface Laptop 4 13" was working any harder. Fan noise ramping up and down gets really annoying! Thanks again for another great one.
Yeah Microsoft are definitely too dog when it comes to overall build quality. The thermals on their laptops are incredible and the Studio dissipated heat like a banshee. Plugged in and docked, you’ll hear the fans slightly doing light work on this. Nothing crazy and not annoying unless you’re OCD like me and need silence. Then you start looking at task manager to shut down every task possible even though you’re just browsing the inter webs 😱.
Apple has great products but the OS is slugish as Sh***t compared to Windows..
😳
These or M2 MacBook Air ?
I'll be reviewing the air when it comes out but from everything we're seeing right now about the m2, it's an incremental upgrade at best so it really boils down to whether you prefer MacOS over Windows, and whether you like the look of the hardware more than the Dell.
why does he talk like an American?
Because I live in America!
Hey Mike, love your channel. I have a question about these two laptops. Supposedly (according to many reviewers), 9320 has a very sharp front lid under the keyboard and that makes it very uncomfortable to use for prolonged periods of time. I'm interested does the 9315 have exactly the same case (with a sharp front lid) or does it use perhaps a little bit different case with a softer front edge? Grateful if you can provide any comment on this.
Hey! I don’t have a dell in the studio right now but from memory, they do typically have some sharp cuts on the edges. That said, I don’t remember it being uncomfortable like the old MacBook pros were ten years ago. The XPS Plus however is a softer finish.
