Tha k you for this review came at the perfect time. Hardly anyone on KZfaq is talking about the 9315. Ive been looking for a back to school laptop for the past few months ready for the end of September and looked at the 9315 first however I was concerned the battery life wouldnt be greatafter hearing reviews on the 13 plus. But this has really helped with my decision.

Fantastic review! After returning my Dell xps 13 plus due to terrible battery life, constant lagging, and loud fan running nonstop I was in search of another Ultrabook. I was choosing between the Lenovo yoga 9i gen 7 and this Dell xps 9315 2022. I ended up getting the Lenovo yoga 9i due to better hardware and BestBuy special making the same price.

Loving the bright display which is always a good thing. Quality of the internal mic is nice and clear, the 720p webcam quality is good but would prefer 1080p. The battery life is excellent as well. The built-in speakers sound great also. The slimmer the laptop is from any manufacturer, the less you will be able to upgrade internally so make sure you get what you want when configuring it on the website. The lack of ports is an issue for me but if that doesn’t really bother you, then it’s fine. Thank you for another great video review Andrew!! 👍😁

If I had the money to buy a new computer system, it would definately be a Dell (no WIN 11 for a while, WIN 10 PRO !) I think that this number of ports is too limited and forces you to use a dongle ! Sad ! Their displays are always great ! My Vostro has a great monitor still today ! Impecable camera and sound ! WOW ! Even if it is "only" 10 hours, you can work all day with this system !

Been using this laptop for a handful of weeks now and I absolutely love it. Got the 1TB, i7 touch screen in all Sky. I got it for school to run powerful data analysis software and it exceeds my expectations. However, for the price point, I do feel like I got a little cheated on the port options. Basically had to order a dock so I would not be surprised if it's a Dell strategy to sell docks or buy the Plus.

Update: this laptop has been in Dells hands longer than in mine. I had a screen defect, not even sure how but they put it down as accidental damage. Kept pushing back the repair date but apparently they couldn't get their hands on the touchscreen needed so after a bit of pushing they are sending me a "new" model (originally wanted to give me a refurbished one) and here's to hoping I can just use a laptop for school.

Nice package with the long battery life. Looks like a winner. I wish the SSD was upgradable but that is probably a trade off in favor of lower price and compactness. Nice IR camera for Face ID too. No audio jack is minor issue for me. I use BT earbuds and carry wired version with adapter for USB connection. Camera, mics and audio seemed excellent. That sky option is really nice to my eyes when seen in store.

Nice looking PC. Camera was above average for a 720p camera but still not as good as the 1080p cameras we have seen on other laptops. Display is very good. Mics sounded good. Port selection is poor. The big problem with this is the soldered in SSD. If the motherboard goes bad for any reason whether under warranty or not all data is gone. Because of Dell going 180 degrees in the wrong direction with this I would under no cirumstances purchase this. There are better choices of PC's out there. Dell needs to get their act together and stop going in the wrong direction on this issue just to save a few bucks. In the long run it will hurt them more than help them. With a starting price of $929.00 it is very easy to ignore this product. Excellent review as always.

@chaicracker Жыл бұрын

The „moment“ seem to stretch over years or even decades. My XPS 13 9370 begun falling apart quickly once the warranty run out. Soldered on components that broke can’t be replaced. Energy saving mode like with pretty much any other laptop never worked. No matter the bios and settings, it kills the battery and overheats in the backpack. It has to be full hibernation to even be able to use the device. Fans obviously also died. Would be obviously to much to expect a 2 thousand dollar laptop do not be utter shite. :) Dell support is so abysmal you could consider it not even existing if you aren’t a corporate client.

I’m an Attorney, and was given a new Inspiron 14 7490 by my Firm for work back in 2020. Stunning design, i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, DGPU and all the bells and whistles. Absolutely loved it until a few months later, the Speakers would crack or eff up, fans would go mad even at low temperatures and loads (and wouldn’t shut up unless the Laptop was Rebooted) and it would wobble and didn’t sit firm on all tables (semi-circle workstations for eg). I informed the dudes about it, and they gave me a new XPS 13 Plus a few months back. Similar config. The build quality of XPS is good, and it’s stunning af. But now I face almost all the same issues. Speakers go bonkers whenever they like, Fans go full F-35, sometimes Thermal Throttles so bad that it takes ages to load even Folders or Settings, and at times randomly shuts down and restarts. This time I’m keeping mum, before I’m kicked out for always whining lmfao. I’m an Apple fanboy (and a PC Gamer). Have always used only Apple (save for Gaming PC’s). I always held Dell’s XPS and HP’s Spectre lineup in high regard, but never bought them lol. Dell really let me down and validated all my Mac purchases.

Look like another piece of disposable junk. Which is EXACTLY what it is. The soldered SSD and same poor port selection is absolutely unacceptable and unnecessary on a laptop. Just get an HP Pavillion Plus at this price point; it DESTROYS this Dell XPS in every possible way. Or go MacBook Air, either way, this laptop is WORSE than the XPS 13 9320 by a long shot. They literally made this laptop too thin and even too small. Did ANYBODY think the 9300/9310 was too small? No? Well good, because even Apple, a company known for pricey laptops that are repair-hostile recently have reverted some of their more unpopular moves, like dropping MagSafe, keeping a headphone jack on the Macs, and even making the battery easier to replace. What does Dell do? Copy Apple 5 years late and do it worse. I literally have seen some Best Buys recall the XPS 9320 because of issues with the screen falling off and/or stopping working. Why can't Dell realize when enough is enough?

I've used Lenovo Carbon 1 for 5 years and it still works fine. Funny thing when I was buying I was only seeing these so called articles recommedning it as the best laptop... and once I started having issues, I started seeing only stories ofdisappointment. Had to recycle it in 1 year and now I use Macbook Air. Was a Windows user for 19 years of my professional life. Dell sold me out on Windows. And I'm absolutely happy with Mac (3 months usage).

I just bought one of these coming from a 2018 Huawei Matebook X pro and this Dell is a piece of s**t in comparison. Worse screen, Worse trackpad, worse size, Way worse audio/speakers, Can't upgrade the SSD. No ports. I am shocked that a laptop I bought in 2018 for £1000 is WAY better than something I paid £1300 (I bought the 4K touchscreen XPS version) in 2023! I cannot believe how these "ultrabook" laptops have gone backwards and not improved in 5 years! The good... Great keyboard. That is it. Also my Huawei Matebook Pro came with NO bloatware. Nothing on it other than Windows. This has all kinds of crap I don't need or want. AVOID. I'm typing on this XPS 13 2022 but it's going back.

Dell went wrong this year. Both this version and the Plus missed the mark of what XPS used to be. The Plus compromised function for a poor aesthetics with bad keyboard design, and no keys for function rows - something they could not learn from Apple's own mistakes. And this version does not offer the full performance CPU option, on top of having this ugly white keyboard. I hope next year they get back to the tried and true XPS design philosophy.

Dell XPS 13 is the pretty and pretty-expensive bride who doesn't 'help' much in the kitchen.

@@nashsanadiki3104 Tbh, in my opinion, it still doesn't cut it. Still gets too hot and warm to the touch. Fans run a lot. I'm typing on an MBP 14 now (I got it after my XPS 13 Plus) and it is almost silent and cool all the time.
