Thanks for the review. Exactly what i was looking for as im interested in this xps and the upcoming surface pro 9

YAY!!! Hope everting is going your way and Super Great Review as always 👌👍🙌😃

Great review. Thanks !

Great overview. I'm debating between the Surface Pro 8 or this but the only dealbreaker for me is that it doesn't have a built-in kickstand. Can't wait for the review.

it's neat and beautiful. I think this kind of laptop is good for guys who have another pc. Hoping for your deep review

Hope that Surface pro 9 would have a built-in fingerprint scanner like this one and the Huawei matebook E/matebook E Go

What the best thermal paste for the new AMD zen4 7950x it is for my new pc build it a tower and any suggestion on a cheap monitor to start with

I just got the XPS13 9310. It's pretty but gets extremely hot on the bottom. It also freezes and is difficult to unfreeze after I've used it for about an hour. It's a shame because otherwise it's nice. I wish it came with a sleeve like the 2 in 1 has. It also has just one thunderbolt port. When I look in the "events" it shows events from back in May which is 5 months ago and I'm wondering if someone else had this before me? I may send it back. The heat, and the freezing is so bad when I'm trying to get work done.

hi David big follower of ur channel since last year but i wanna ask please if u can make a video on how to clean gaming laptop like vents and overall the best way that would be a great video suggestion. ur the best!!!

Wondering what are your thoughts on the hp envy 16, have you tried it ? I'm reading some good reviews about it

2 years ago I have bought a dell’s 2 in 1 laptop with basic specs like i5 10th gen 8 gb channel 1 ddr4 ram 512 ssd . But it’s not smooth. I think maybe it’s because of intels integrated graphics card in my laptop . Do you think nividia graphics card would improve the performance?

what's the model of the microphone were you using? thanks

Very nice overview of this device. I for one am shocked that we are nearing 2022 end heading in 2023 and we still have tablet competitors to the Surface being released without two things that EVERY device in this category needs. 1) A built in stand direclty deployable from the tablet itself 2) The pop up functionality on the keyboard folio. If you want a true laptop experience the flattened keyboard on the desk is never comfortable for any extened use. I don't understand why we get these gorgeous machines coming out from Dell (etc) without these two additions. You can keep the folio keyboard thing you want, but at least include a built in stand within the tablet body. Even if you pull the tablet off occasionally and carry it with you in the kitchen or wherever - you now have no way to stand it up in any useable way without lugging the keyboard folio with you. I personally detcach my Surface Pro often and just use it as a media device with the built in stand. Just my $.02 here! Cheers

Did you show the slate and sky colorway?

Perfect. Can you write the full name of this laptop?

Thanks. I have an older 2-in-1 and rarely use it in tablet mode. I don't think this is for.

Excellent video sir. When Microsoft surface products with 12 gen coming?? When????

Can you please give me advice what laptops I need to buy which I need to use it as a tablet without keyboard . General using fast and long life battery .... Please

I am glad to see this review. I just got a Surface Pro 8 but considered this or waiting for the SP9. I didn't like the lack of a kickstand on the Dell. The surface stand goes almost 180 and makes the surface more versatile when you aren't at a table. Curious about battery life though.

Hi mash iT. Based on your experience if picking "GPU only " mode in nvidia control panel is going to have the same impact like disabling advanced optimus in terms of gaming fps ?

It does look nice and it feels like its good quality... probably the typing on that keyboard will be fine for short periods of time.... To be honest this would be really cool as a second pc to stream games using Xcloud and reading books / manga / light novels digitally.

Great video, but if you could brighten the video a little. The video is generally dark, not enough light to see the laptop a bit clearer.

Can this run virtualbox? Like virtual machines?

Engineer A : What name should we give it ? Engineer B : IDK, it cost a lot ? A : Yes. B : XPS, then ?

I wonder if the battery is replaceable in this. It was the reason I returned my surface pro 8 and got a MacBook Air, that and the buggy note taking software was frustrating, and the battery lasted 3-5h at 60hz

@Mash IT never waffles. Great reviewer! Nailed this Dell and they should bloody listen to the man too.

I'm a graphic designer and majorly use photoshop and coreldraw. Do you think I can buy this one?

I m waiting for surface to XPS comparison video can you do the same ?

Anybody know if the folio keyboard can fold underneath (keys facing downwards) so it has a smaller footprint?

no headphone input,cover doesn"t have a hole for back camera while you chargin conect to the external hd .......headphone...? 50% slower........?

What laptop / 2 in 1 would you recommend to match up to a MBA M1 16gb? I can't decide between AMD and Intel. Max budget approx £1200

it used to give chipset error. now it gives processor error. motherboard replacement fee is close to half of the product. I wouldn't be crazy to buy it.

Why they call it 2-in-1? It's tablet with bluetooth keyboard case included - you can buy those cases for every tablet...

how are you?,you uploaded awesome -😉

All good things come in a box in a box

hello sir, between X17R1 3060 and X15R1 3070, which is better for gaming?

man, If you get the chance take a look at the new configuration of x17, 15 it's getting really interesting

Not a fan of that keyboard cover at all. Would like to see a side by side comparison with the surface. I had the surface 8 pro and absolutely loved it. Only issue it had for me was the display which looked really washed out.

I like the brick style design more compare with surface, though did hope they can add kickstand. Considering upgrading old pro x to this or maybe pro 9 Intel version.

that cpu runs faster than my 10750h at 45-55w on my hp spectre while the fans are blasting :), so while its not quite there with my ipad pro M1 having full windows enables a lot, and those scores are quite good for it being passively cooled.

How would this work on a lap seated? Looks like it would not be stable

Can the keyboard be angles like surface or not?

Hi can you run 3DMark TimeSpy on this laptop?

I don’t quite like the Apple Eco, but their iPad is kinda the best I could find to use as a tablet/laptop also nothing beats the sound. Non apple fan! I’m just impressed by this 1 device!

I've been looking for a real Surface Pro 8 competitor. I really prefer an OLED with a 120hz display in a 2 in 1 Windows device.. I might need to wait for a year or two to see one so I can upgrade my Surface pro 7. I don't really mind if it has a powerful chipset inside or not as long as I can do office work, entertainment and for my mobile workshop as my extra income.

watching this on my macbook M1 pro :)

Would you recommend it for raw photo editing on lightroom

HI DAVE, IM BACK TO THE UNI FOR MBA NEXT YEAR. IS XPS 13 GOOD FOR UNI? OR SHOULD I GET A MACBOOK AIR2 OR SURFACE PRO 8? JUST A GRAP & GO WEB BASED STATION, CAUSAL VIDEO EDITING FOR MY BLOG. I'VE M51 R2 FOR GAMING, STILL RUNS SMOOTHLY.

Can’t nothing in the world beat the good ole iPad Pro 12.9 M1 baby 😎

I have used windows laptops but man Microsoft Windows laptops is on different level.

Ah, the ole-kickstand-trick! Yeppers, without the kickstand this Dell is now off my radar. There are occasions when my tablet will be located where space is quite limited. There, its keyboard cover will take up too much room or not at all fit in the desired location. Also, because of wrist issues, its non-sloping keyboard makes it a deal breaker as well. Thus, the Surface kickstand and keyboard will be extremely useful; okay returning to the Surface Pro line.

I would definitely ditch the rear camera (who takes photos with a tablet anyway) and have a better cover with lifted angled keyboard with a space between keys and a sturdy kickstand on the back. Hope Dell will fix this in the next iteration. I would buy this device but only with better cover case.

What was Dell thinking with the standing out camera on the back? Am I right that you can't lay it flat on a table for drawing? If the folio would be a back and a keyboard part and so backcover would flatten that out ok but you can't seperate the folio right? Come on Dell. That's a great device but the folio is garbage. I have a Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 and this three year old device has a kickstand and a good folio. Just give me the Latitude-line fanless with 12th Gen CPU (and maybe for the XPS pricepoint. The actual latitude is nearly double as pricy as the XPS).

Looks good, however I have heard a lot people having issues with this gen Dell computers as far as QA.

Price ?

You should go for rog flow Z instead, similar size and much better specs

How is the battery life so far? Better than the pro 8?

My previous xps has massive throttling and heating issues.. 13 inch

No swappable ssd like surface pro and Rog flow z13 is really a shame. I would happily sell my flow z13 for this.

Looking at the OneNetbook T1.

Not sure why Dell bothered to make such a poor copy of a Surface. What a shame.

I just wish companies would make a sturdier keyboard so it could be use more as a LAPtop.

You write all your scripts on the Surface? the X17 typing experience has to be superior

Do it have a fan inside of it?

Better than surface pro?

so nothing about the pen? 🤔 Havent you miss the point of what is a 2-1 made for?

For me no kickstand makes it looks cleaner

starting to regret purchasing it before waiting for reviews 😬

8:15 I appreciate the "quick" look video but who the hell test speakers at 80%? 😂

What about battery life ?

I bought the I7 version only because I had dell rewards money to spend. Luckily, I only payed 800 bucks out of pocket. I wouldn't have payed full price for it. At the end of the day, it's actually a slightly above average laptop, but if I had a choice, I probably would have waited for the SP9. Unfortunately, it's been a while since Dell has made a good laptop that would wow me.

Would love to know why EVERY OEM that copies the Surface Pro goes for a folio design instead of a kickstand. It's inheritantly worse. Suspect it comes down to cost. That crappy case will cost a lot less than engineering a hinge.

With that kind of price and with that measly storage and no expendable SSD slot. I think I will go for Surface Pro then.

unbox legion 7 amd 2022 3060 model

Nicely done. Ok so I'm here trying to understand why it is that expensive....it's not the most aestetically pleasing tab, it's not the best performing, it's not the most SPECed, it's not the brightest, it's not the most versatile, it's not the longest lasting, it's most definitely not the most futuristic....help me here, why would I buy this over like say the Samsung tab S8 ultra for instance which is basically at the same price point and apparently better in virtually everything?

Too expensive for the weak performance that's throttled. But I finally figured out the target audience: my partner. She likes to do KZfaq viewing, some emails, a bit of word processing, some viewing of photos, a video conference once in a while, and she likes to look good with something sleek and modern. So every few years she changes her notebook for something more new (and her smartphone too). That's the target audience.

Yeaaaaaaaa, looks like a nice premium device, but honestly the surface pro is just so much more polished with it's quality of life features like the kickstand, the tilted keyboard, the hideaway stylus, and the rounds bits

Hmm. . .Yeah a passively cooled device is nice for being quiet, but that performance is an absolute deal breaker considering the Surface Pro 9 is right around the corner. Plus for a little bit more you could get and Asus Z13 with a much more powerful cpu and an Nvidia 3050/3050ti. And that keyboard is all kinds of wrong. I had the first gen surface pro and I got a case for it that covered the kickstand and tried using the same folding back idea as a kick stand. It was incredibly wobbly and no where near as versatile as the kickstand. A little disappointing in my eyes, but I'm glad there are alternatives.

This is indeed poor from dell 😌 Let's just stick to 13plus I love it that way

Its what the galaxy tab s8 ultra should have been

I've used all kinds of portable computers and still prefer clamshell the best.

It's kinda sad there is no flip-around keyboard like it used to. This stand feels like a half-ass solution that would annoy the fuck out of me, if I was using it on a daily basis. On the other hand, I will never understand why the old 2-in-1 used to have a different keyboard layout from the regular XPS 13 (Page up, page down right above left and right arrow keys). If it wasn't for this stupid layout, I would've probably gotten it over the regular XPS, so I would be able to flip it around and use my custom keyboard. Other than that, it looks pretty nice. Would be nice for coding, if I wasn't so lazy. HAHA

for that price, it should be Windows Professional

7:49 aaaaaaannd the crappy one-liner-arrow-keys ... NEXT.

Shame they can't have a headphone jack on this.

IMO, I think Dell should have kept the XPS 13 a thin clamshell ultrabook. From what I see here, it's basically a disappointing Surface Pro knock off with far too many compromises to be able to compete with Microsoft's original. In this arena, the Microsoft Surface Pro is still the king. Nothing else comes close. Where the clamshell ultrabook design was the standard by which all others were compared, this version is just an also-ran to Microsoft's. Surface Pro line.

The only point of the Surface or any other tablet-laptops is the pen. If the pen is trash the whole device is pointless. At that point a regular laptop + an iPad/Tab S is cheaper and more value. SP8 just barely became viable for art projects.

No swappable SSD, No 5g on launch, No kick stand and no 120hz not to mention the specs are outdated and surface 9 5g is right around the corner. Honestly what was Dell thinking of like seriously why would anybody choose this over a surface 8 business or surface 9 5g

Looks good actually. It should have had AMD 5900u/ 6900u

Don't buy a device with a kickstand and one of these detachable floppy keyboards. I have an acer switch alpha 12. i bought a couple of years ago and it's a nuisance messing with the kickstand and keyboard. Better to buy a 2-in-1 with a stiff hinge. so much more flexible and usable. E.g. if you need to try type with it sitting on your knee, the kickstand can't go back further than your knee...meaning the keyboard if right up close to your stomach...a real nuisance. With a rigid hinge 2-in-1 you can move the keyboard away from you a bit more and type more comfortably. Just my two cents.

Not a real 2-in-1 if one needs the cover to use it. As a tablet it seems quite terrible, for the size, weight, and sharp lines. Not versatility as a rotatable 2-in-1 of olds.

Sounds like bad performance, in comparison to the surface

Why not buy Lenovo duet 5i in less money 512 16 and better 12th gen processor ......if Dell thinks that people would buy this thing for this much money then they absolutely crazy .......way expensive......

No 3:2, no sale.

Surface is Surface, this one cant even get close to it....

When are these greedy manufactures going to move away from 8 GB RAM as the base configuration? Come on, it's not 2010 anymore! It makes it e-waste right out of the box really. Especially with Windows. LOL

Why do all the British guys on youtube sound the same? So odd.👍

비싸기만 할듯, 커버는 느무 별로다, 차라리 아이패드같은 서드파티나오몀 나을닷

£1200 is way too much (even when you're paying in installments). I'll pass.

If you want to get rid of it sell it to me
